Its About Time!!

I am so very sorry for just getting arouond to my blogging.  I have been so worn out lately.  When I get home I play with Tristin as much as I can and by the time we eat, clean up, and shower I'm OUT!

So we have a week and our little boy will be 6 months.  We've gotten to share 5 months of bliss with this lil boy that I could have never expected.  He is amazing and so wonderful to have.  We just got back from Spring Break.  We traveled to Arkansas with our neighbors Jesse and Adrienne.  They are such a wonderful couple and I am so thankful they are so wonderful.  Jesse bought an RV for his band rig-however he'd been dying to go camping.  One night after dinner we sat around an joked at first about going somewhere-well that joke turned into an 8 hour trip to Arkansas. It was so much fun.  It was however very different with a 5 month old.  What a great way to travel-walking around, bathroom, food, tv, playtime for Tristin!! Tristin was actually wonderful through the long drive and while camping.  He LOVED being outside and going on our hikes!! I have a feeling I'm going to be outside A LOT this summer, and using up bottles of sunscreen on our lil man (who is as fair as the snow).  I'm trying to look on the brighter side of things- a tan for me.  (Speaking of fair-wow my legs are ghostly!!) Anyways-we loved our travel time and our company. 

When we got back my mom came to visit.  Its always so wonderful when your family comes to visit.  Especially my mom.  She gets me-even when I don't get me-she does.  We shopped around Austin-Ikea, The Domain-Target-Buy Buy Baby-Lowes, and then around San Marcos-Hobby Lobby-Bed Bath and Beyond-The Outlet.  It was a blast. I spent more money that I should have, but o well.  That is life I guess.  I love our talks and memories we carry.  I hope I can either share this bond with Trisin's wife, or have a daughter of my own one day.  :)

Trisitn is sitting up now and ever so slightly trying to reach out for things beyond his arm-putting him on his knees at times.  Then his week arms get tired and he looks like a seal hitting the floor.  Of course he hollers and I pull him up.  He absolutely LOVES to eat!  We are now on stage 2 foods-allowing us to eat things like chicken, ham, turkey, chicken noodle.  He can't wait when he sees his bowl. He is also VERY addicted to puffs (like a cheerio, but disolves much faster).  If he ever so slightly catches a glimpse of his can-his legs start kicking and he starts this humming sound. Hahaha...its funny! 

I'll post more about our little man soon.  I want to attach some pictures before I head off to work.  (Well it isn't letting me-it says failed everytime I try to upload. I will try again tonight)
