Little Helper, lots of words

So Thomas is throwing new words out every day. He is a shadow, so he repeats words he hears us say, a lot. A few of his words he likes to share are Hothot (Hotshot, that's what Daddy is), Taator (Tractor), Mooilk (milk), booo (book), boke (broke), peeeez (please), of course Momma, Daddy and many more. He is also using some of his sign language, more. Jim and I feel sad (kind of) to see how fast he's growing up. Not such a little baby look anymore, but a little boy.

We are having monthly house visits by the social worker (routine) as part of the process requires. After November, she will see us every other month, until this finalizes. She is just visiting to see his development and play with him. She also asks me lots of questions, too about his eating habits, sleep, etc.

Now for the LITTLE HELPER part of the title. Thomas loves going to play at Gramma & Papa's house. Papa has a tractor that he takes Thomas on rides around the yard or to the garden. The tractor is missing a part, or something and has been broke for a few weeks. If you ask Thomas about Papa's tractor, he gets a very sad look on his face and says "Papa taator boke." I told my dad to fix it quick, so Thomas won't be so sad......LOL

Dad was working on it the other day while Thomas was spending time with them. I won't' put captions under all the pictures, as you can clearly see how cute they are. But pay close detail to his feet in one of the pictures. His daddy kneels on the ground that way.
