Pictures

Drum Roll...

I've actually sat down and uploaded pictures from my camera to my computer. While doing so I organized all of my photos-aka pictures of Tristin by month so I can keep up with them once I get around to printing them out. 

We have one week of school.  Unlike my mom, and sister-in-law who were out LAST WEEK!  :(  I can do this though.  We have half days and well....I can make it!  I am really looking forward to Thursday.  I get to move all of my boxes to the NEW SCHOOL!! I can't WAIT!  Lets be honest though...I'm not really looking forward to moving ALL OF MY BOXES.

Before I post a few photos here is an update on our Lil Man.  We have a crawler.  A funny looking crawl, but a crawler. For the past week he has been somewhere between an actual normal crawl, and a hunting/army crawl.  He does a lot more pulling -sorta like a worm.  He goes and goes and goes though.  He feel so accomplished once he's reached his destination.  I'm wondering what the next few weeks will have in store for me-Defiantly a baby gate will be purchased.  He can almost crawl to his table, or bed and pull himself up-He tries really hard, but doesn't have his knees under him to pull himself up.  I usually step in, help him get to his knees and then he's off to standing.  We are working on our balance.  We seem to just want to walk or turn to come to me, but forget we must hang on.  I'm looking to get him a riding toy-any suggestions?

Here are a few photos...

7 Months Old

Ok so by the time this post is actually posted, Tristin will probably be 8 months old!! I've sat down numerous times and have tried to complete a post, but have failed every time. 

My computer has had a small part to do with this delay.  We are experiencing problems with my video card and or LCD screen.  I have someone from Dell coming to my house to fix the problem.  It's times like this I love warranty's.

So our little love bug is growing up sooo very fast.  I can't stand it!! One day he was crying for me to help him sit up and the next he's pushing himself up to sit!!  So lets see what we've accomplished..

-You absolutely love to eat! You love chicken nuggets and peaches!! However we still force oatmeal with mixed food down you and you act like its the best in the world. 
-You still love your juice!  I think you would drink a gallon a day if we'd let you. 
-You actually like tummy time now!!  You get on the floor and make 360's trying to get your toys!! It is really funny. 
-You've started pushing up on your hands and knees but you just rock.  You do this a lot and make this funny hummmm noise.  I am guessing its because you don't know what to do with yourself. 
- You still LOVE to hear yourself and sing so so LOUD!!
-You are in love with one of the little girls at daycare! You just smile at her, and try to go talk to her.
-You say a lot of G's and B's.  But this morning I heard a Mm.  I know you'll get it down eventually.
-You don't want anyone but me in the morning!! Maybe it's because I supply your food.  No but really you are a mommy's boy right now. Don't get me wrong-you LOVE your daddy you think he is funny!! The other day he was digging in the ground with a shovel and every time he'd hit the ground you would laugh!!
-You love to play ball! 
-You can wave hi and bye-when it pleases you.
-You can give high-fives!! Your dad loves this! 
-Your favorite color is yellow or orange-weird but you love taking your yellow cup around with you wherever we go.
-You love to feed yourself.  You love it when we give you finger foods.
-You will pull up on us while we are on the floor. 
-You ROLL EVERYWHERE
-You roll back and forth when we put you to bed and you just talk to yourself. At times you cry-but we let you figure it all out.  We have caught you with your leg stuck in the slats and you didn't like that at all!
-You give me kisses everyday when I pick you up as you squeal and hug me sooo tight.  It is sweet and the other moms love it!! 
-You still LOVE bath time.  You like to splash water EVERYWHERE which tells me the pool is a must this year.  Perhaps we will stick to our neighbors plastic pool until I get a small tan, and then we can go out and about.

We have a lot planned this summer-the zoo, visiting cousins, baseball games!! I can't wait to share pictures and enjoy my time off with you!  Only a few more weeks!! 

You are such a blessing and I love spending my time with you.  You melt my heart (even when you wake up early) and I look at you with tears a lot and thank God for bringing you to me.  I love you so so much!  Thanks for being such a Happy Happy Boy!!

I'll post pictures soon-my computer will be fixed FRIDAY!! WHOOP!
