This is how Aunt Helen and Uncle Martin get Tommy down for a nap. Pretty comfy.
and here's how he looked when he woke up. I think we all know how he feels.

Happy Father's Day to Me!
This morning was Doughnuts with Dad at the kids' daycare to celebrate Father's Day. My gifts, from top:
- Iris dressed up as dad at work on the card she "colored really nice" (she really said that to me). I know I'm biased, but I say she is pretty damn cute.
- Race car bobblehead hand painted by Iris.
- Tommy's handprint Father's Day card.
Warms my little heart!

First haircut
Apologies to Uncle Bob, who gave Tommy his first haircut around Christmas, but Tommy went for his first professional trim at Rudy's in Ballard yesterday & came out of it looking pretty darn cute, I must say. He was pretty unsure of the whole process, so I held him on my lap & let him suck on a dum-dum the whole time. He naturally got it all over his face, and then the hair stuck to it, so it looked like he had a little beard by the time it was over.
Iris was very good during her haircut too & got a trip to the gelato place as her reward. Sorry, no pics of her in the chair.

Tommy Hitting the Bottle
our friend Jana took this pic of Tommy at the Mariners game last Monday night
My sister Denise AKA Geegy got us the Ed Hardy can coozies as a joke but they do come in handy (and they are wicked cool!)

Which is the weirder baby name coincidence?
1) We met another couple at a local park last weekend. They also live on NW 60th St in Ballard. They have a 4 year old boy named Thomas & a 2 year old girl named Iris (the first other little girl Iris we've ever encountered in person). The mom is white (parents live in NH), and the dad is Asian, so they're like the mirror image of us, with Tommy as the older one & the races of mom & dad swapped.
2) My brother Jack has 3 boys: Will, Luke and Reed. In the baby room at Tommy's daycare there are 4 other boys: Jack, William, Luke and Reed.

Martel Boys Visit
My brother ML and his sons Luke and Reed (Will couldn't come because he had baseball) visited from the Bay Area last weekend. We had a fun visit even though it rained pretty hard most of the weekend. We went to the Museum of Flight on Saturday and then took the Safeco Field tour and bowled a game on Sunday. Here are some pics of our fun. (Big thanks to Irene for the great rainy day activity ideas XOXO)
This pic of Iris in the Mariners dugout is a recreation of one from when she was less than a year old:

Apologies to Tommy but that last one was pretty good of everyone else.

Tommy's appetite
After his 9-month check up, we're hoping to get Tommy to gain some weight. Tommy is transitioning to real food so we're looking for ideas/suggestion for healthy "fatty" food. So far we know he likes ham, smoked salmon lox, sweet potato, tofu and pasta. Going to try avocado next. He's only got 2 teeth but it's not slowing him down.

2010 Santa Photos - the Untold Story
This is how Tommy ended up alone on Santa's lap. These photos describe what happened better than I could, and also explain where Santa was looking in frame #3. This all took place in maybe 3 seconds.

2010 Santa Photos
As many of you have already heard, Iris declined to pose with Santa again this year. Tommy had no such qualms - here he is with ol' Saint Nick:
(Santa's focus was drawn by the screaming little girl who just squirmed away from him)
Iris was okay posing with this Santa:

Here's what it may have looked like if Iris had stayed on Santa's lap:
