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?

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.....

Not happy

We definitely have had an extremely busy week. I started work last Thursday but Tristan started at the new babysitter this last Monday. She is the best!! She lives super close to us and is only watching Tristan- no other kids. And she used to be a nurse which came in handy this week because Tristan got thrush. Thrush is basically a yeast infection in the mouth and makes it really hard for him to eat because it hurts every time he does. But luckily she caught it right away and so it never really got that bad. Thank goodness. Poor baby :(

Then it was my dad's birthday on Wednesday. We went to Truluck's last night and it was soooo YUMMY!! I love that place. Not quite the Reata in Fort Worth but still delicious nonetheless!! Tristan was being a little fussy but more than likely because he wasn't feeling well and he didn't get a lot of sleep during the day. But we had a great time and enjoyed some even better food! Happy Birthday, Paw Paw!!

On Friday we had Ryan, Katie, and Michael over. It's the first time we had our friends over to hang out with Tristan. Tristan did great, even though he was sick. He made a bunch of funny faces for them and we all got a kick out of it. We were talking about how we were laughing at him and how silly he looked and how our parents more than likely did the same thing to us. We probably looked just as goofy and our parents and their friends just used us as entertainment :) But Vincent made AMAZING ribs and hamburgers with corn on the cob.....I ate soooo much and enjoyed every minute of it. Then, the homemade ice cream that Ryan and Katie made really made me feel guilty but totally worth it. Thanks guys for coming over and kicking it at the Martinez house!!

Yesterday was especially tough for our little man. Vincent's uncle passed away on Tuesday and the funeral was yesterday. Tristan did absolutely terrible and with good reason, since he was sick. He started crying during the service and wouldn't stop. I had to change his diaper in the foyer of the church, the only place I could. I was changing him on the changing pad on a table that had brochures and bible verses in frames on it. While I was changing it, he started pooping again. Then, I started running out of wipes. So I did what I could with the wipes that I had and put a new diaper on him. Well, I look over and the wipes that I used, which had poop all over it, were touching the table and kinda getting poop on it. I go to grab what I think is the last wipe only to find out that there are no more wipes. Yikes! So I try to wipe up the stuff with the parts of the wipes that aren't used and get most of it up. Then, everyone starts pouring out of the church and at this point I'm panicky because I don't want people to judge. So I grab the diaper and nasty wipes in one hand and Tristan in the other. It stinks terribly bad and people are looking at me with dirty looks, which I can't blame. And guess what? No trash can or rest room or anywhere that I can put the stinky diaper. So I'm standing there watching the casket go by and making the foyer stink like nobody's business. Oh well, it happens. Then we went to the cemetery and Tristan starts to sweat in his car seat. Seriously, they need to come up with a way to air out the back of the car seat, if need be, because the little guy gets SOOO hot sitting in it. As soon as he starts to sweat in the nasty humidity we were having yesterday, he screams bloody murder. Then I have to drag him about 1/2 mile back to the car while he was screaming with everyone looking. He does not like to sweat at all. He gets that from his dad. Then we went back to the church for food. That's where everyone got some Tristan love. Seriously, everyone wanted to hold him and love on him. Of course, he was eating it up. And we have babysitters lined up for the next 2 months!! :) But the bad thing was that he made himself stay awake the whole time and didn't sleep. So he was super cranky for dinner and Paw-Paw and Yaw-Yaw took turns soothing him. He definitely doesn't lack for attention :)

And this morning Vincent and I gave him a bath and made a video. He loves baths and although he didn't get into as much as he normally does in this video, he did smile!! He really is growing up so fast :( But the smile at the end of the video will make anyone smile, even if he is growing up!!!
