Sorry!

It has been so long since I posted! We have been so busy around here! I went on a 4 day photography excursion which you can read about here. It was a blast but of course I missed Tristan way too much! =) Tristan is getting to be such a big boy and I can't believe he will be turning one in a few weeks. We are preparing for his party which will be just family (didn't want to have a big flu party =P). He does new things everyday! We have gotten rid of the bottles and he is drinking from sippy cups all the time now! woo hoo.. I am so glad we did this early. He loves to play play play. He is a lightening fast crawler although he is walking around holding onto the furniture now. He likes to wave and play peek a boo with us. He absolutely loves books and will crawl over to his bookshelf, pull one out and bring it to us. He will sit while we read the whole book (as long as we turn the pages somewhat quickly). Oh and EVERYTHING has a motor. He will grab anything and then we will hear "burrrrrrrr vrrrrrrrrrrr". I will have to catch it on video here soon. He loves to go to the park and swing. He helps us by turning off light switches and pulling the drain in the bathtub =P. He is so much fun and we love him so much! I will post pictures and video soon.. I promise!

Crash

Tristan was so sleepy when I laid him down tonight but he sat right up when I walked out of his room and played with his paci. While I was watching on the monitor he rubbed his eyes, leaned over and crashed! What a nut...

This is how we roll...

We bought Tristan a helmet so he can go on bike rides with us. With all of his climbing and getting around we are thinking we should leave it on him all the time!

Yes, he is trying to climb the couch!

What's been going on...

Well I have been very busy launching my photography business. It is going well and I have been busy booking sessions! I am excited to finally get everything up and running! Tristan didn't have a very fun week though. We had a little bit of a scare because his sitter found out that her daughter had the H1N1 flu. She has limited contact with Tristan but we were still very nervous about him getting it so he stayed home all week. On Thursday he started to run a fever so we took him right away to the pediatrician. Luckily, he was negative for the flu but he did have his first ear infection. We were so happy it was just an ear infection! whew! I think it is going to be a long cold season. He is feeling much better now though. He weighed a whooping 23lbs! What a big guy. He has been all over the place exploring every inch of the house. He also is pulling himself up and letting go of things now. yikes! Here are a few pictures from the week.

getting around.. he is so fast!!

I'm out of here!

toofers!

He is always standing and so happy to see us in the morning!

Time to kick back and relax

It has been raining here and when you run out of things to do what is more fun than re-enacting favorite scenes from movies =) enjoy...
