Spoiled Rotten

This last Saturday we had dinner over at my parent's house and once again, Tristan was the center of attention :) My brother, Galen, is at home for 2 weeks waiting to start his internship at NASA. So it was my sister, Naomi, Galen, my brother David and his wife, Becky plus my parents just loving on Tristan. He has started making noise when he laughs and it's just the best. It really does make you want to sit there for hours trying to get him to do it. And we literally did. He also has extremely strong leg muscles and loves when you stand him up. Well then my parents remembered the famous swing of me and my siblings' generation- Johnny Jump Up. This is the swing that hangs in the doorway and gives the child hours of entertainment because they love bouncing themselves. Well my parents insisted that he would love it since he loves using his leg muscles so much, so they went right then and got it from Target. He is a tad too small for it but we put a thick blanket around him in the swing to fill the space and- voila! perfect fit! He LOVED it! He was using the bar around the swing to suck/teethe on and at the same time pushing himself on the floor. We have used it several times since then and he loves it every time.

He also spent the night before at Aunt Becky's and Uncle David's house and slept 9 hours!! We were up to 8 but since Friday night, he's slept 9 hours! Whatever you did, Becky and David, thanks!! :)

We have a busy weekend coming up and Tristan will probably have to have a sleepover somewhere..... until then I will try to get a video of Tristan in the Johnny Jump Up making his laughing noises- it's awesome!!

Also, if you can't tell, these are my parent's pictures. I didn't bring my camera. So there are an unusual amount of pictures of my parents :)

Deep in concentration

Pop That Collar

A few days ago Tristan said his first word....... "Hiiiiiii". It was long and drawn out and he definitely didn't mean to do it but we totally treated it like his first word. We went nuts. Both Vincent and I got really close to his face and were saying "Hiiiiii" only about a million times. Of course he just looked at us like we were crazy and never said it again.

He has definitely moved onto the 3-6 month clothes so we have a new assortment of clothes and I have been taking pictures of them. Today he had on an outfit that had a collar so I gave him the "popped collar" look. It definitely didn't give him the look I was going for. More or less he drowned in the collar :) but I took pics anyway. I also included some other pictures we took.

We are so excited because in a few weeks Tristan gets to meet his Aunt Tamarah and his Uncle Nate for the first time!! Unfortunately, they haven't been able to meet him yet they will, very soon! YAY!! Until then, Tristan will continue to be spoiled by those relatives that he has living here :)

Really???

Why did I find these pictures on the camera?? Seriously, Vincent?? Do men ever grow up?

Daddy and Me

So I stumbled upon Vincent and Tristan laying on the couch watching TV and he insisted that I take pics. Although he directed me on exactly how he wanted me to take the pics, appearantly my pictures weren't good enough because I came back to find a few extra pictures on the camera.
Also, to be noted, a lot of cool facial expressions coming from Vincent. Now I know where Tristan gets it.....

Cool dude.

Zoolander, part 1

And is Tristan smoking a J???

Zoolander, part deux........

This is where he decided to take his own pics.....nice.

What is going on with the Zoolander looks??

But Tristan looks cool, keep on truckin' little man.......

Also my friend at work Sabi forwarded me this website that I LOVE. It's hilarious. We were just looking at it all day at work today and reading different ones out loud. How genius and why wasn't this thought of sooner??

Love it!

My brother forwarded this video to me and I am jealous! Seriously, I kinda got mad that I didn't think of doing this for my wedding.....grrrr. Oh well, it probably wouldn't have turned out this well anyway.




Also, on a random note, I think we're ready to take family/baby portraits. I was waiting until I lost enough weight to feel comfortable with myself. I still have weight to lose but I'm comfortable right now. The problem is that every photographer that I found is either not that great at these type of pictures or they are WAY too expensive. Since we are going to do more portraits again in a few months, I don't want to spend too much money on these. If anyone knows anyone that would be willing to do baby portraits and they are good at it, please let me know. Even if they are fairly new at it, I would love to give them a shot and see how it turns out. PLEASE send me any suggestions!!

Hump Day

So this last weekend Vincent and I were minus a baby, except for the doctor's appointment for Tristan on Saturday morning. We went to the wedding reception for Justin and Carolyn on Saturday night. They actually got married in Jamaica back in June but they had a reception at this cute little house that is specifically used for wedding receptions in McKinney. We had a really great time even if the drive was super far from us. And while we were there I went to the bathroom and noticed there was a bed in there. It was definitely a little weird so the next time I went to the bathroom I made Vincent go with me to see it and we took pictures. We seriously have so much fun together and it was really nice for us as a couple to spend time. We are kinda getting spoiled in that area and I don't mind at all :)

Justin & Carolyn- YAY! CONGRATS!!

Vincent, modeling on the bed in the bathroom....it's a little weird, right?

Isaac and Sarah stole our camera to take a picture

Also, yesterday Tristan turned 2 MONTHS OLD! I can't believe that it's already been 2 months. It's crazy how fast time flies. In honor of his mini-birthday, we took some pictures of him in my favorites pajamas that he's about to outgrow.

Happy 2 months!!

Tristan is actually 2 months this Tuesday but today he had his 2 month doctor's appointment. He weighs a whopping 12 pounds now and is 23 1/2 inches long!! He is above average for his length and average for weight. The boy is long :)

This last week was busy again. We had another funeral. Our friend Dan's father passed away. All these funerals really do make me realize that life can be taken away at any moment and it's important not to take anyone for granted. It must make Tristan sad too because once again the minute we got inside, he started crying. It was terrible. I had to sit in the back behind closed doors and miss the entire ceremony. Oh well. Funerals really do tear me up and 2 in less than a week might've just been bad-news-bears.

Yesterday we dropped off Tristan at Grandpa and Grandma Lisa's house. We went there this morning to pick him up and take him to the doctor and then dropped him right back off. Last night we took advantage of no baby and had a date night. We went out to eat and then went to see "The Hangover". Ummmm.....it was funny but everyone built it up so much that I was disappointed. It had funny parts but definitely not the most hilarious movie I've ever seen, like I heard it was. I need to stop asking people about movies because they get built up too much and then become ruined.

Tonight we have another wedding to go to and then we're done for awhile. It's crazy how busy we've been. We have definitely become more busy ever since Tristan came along. I don't think we've been this social EVER. And only because we have so many options for babysitters- it's the best! Thank all of y'all SOOO MUCH for watching him! It really does give us a much needed break!

A few days ago we got a package in the mail from my sister, Tamarah, in San Francisco. She gave Tristan a tie dyed onsie with a peace sign in the center- adorable. We wanted to show Aunt Tamarah how cute he looked in it so we took him outside on the swing (which he loves) and took some pictures.

Then since the Splish Splash video was so popular we went back inside and made a video of him dancing. He loves to move his legs right now so he likes when I hold his hands and let him wiggle around. Of course, I moved his arms around to make it look tons cuter :) Then I put it all to music. Enjoy!!

Big yawn

Starting to get grumpy.......

Big yawn again.....
