Casey and Bean came down for a visit!!!

Tristan got to spend some time with his Aunt Casey and Uncle Bean over the weekend...

We all had a great time, Tristan was a trooper both on the boat and the beach. He seriously couldn't get any better or sweeter than he is!! I really wish we lived closer to them, or them to us, however you want to look at it!
During the past few weeks I have noticed Tristan eying my food every time I'm eating, and he is at the point now that he cries when he sees me eating and i don't share! So i have found that bagels keep him happy (and keeps me from worrying that he will choke b/c it doesn't crumble and fall apart), graham crackers are quite possibly the messiest food to give to a baby, and he loves french fries. Hes not actually eating these foods, he just sucks and slobbers all over them! Einstein will be in heaven once Tristan starts eating and dropping more foods!
He is getting closer to crawling, he is so determined, but its just not coming together YET. I (actually the house) am not ready for him to be crawling around just yet (need to get motivated and child proof the house). I will post a video of his attempts soon, every time I break out the camera he doesn't cooperate!

His uncle Tomasz has been in town since July 9th, it has been a huge help having him around when I need to go out and run some errands. Its payback for all the times I had to babysit him when I was his age!

Starting a little LATE!!!

Okay, I meant to start this FOREVER ago....but as Corey will tell everyone, I am a HUGE procrastinator!!!

So here it goes, I will be using this as a means to TRY and keep up with most everything that is going on in our family!!! Its mainly going to be about Tristan and then a little about Corey and I!

Some of the things that Tristan has accomplished in the last 5 months are:

He is rolling over in all directions (this started a little before the 3 month mark, and by 3 1/2 months he was a champ!!!

He started sitting up with the support of his hands at 3 1/2 months....and each day he has gotten stronger and stronger to where at 5 months there are times that he sits without the support of his hands.

His first solid (or semi solid) food was given to him at 4 months...our pediatrician gave us the go ahead on this, he was very confused at this the first time...but he is getting much better at eating as each day goes on! His first food was carrots...and call me crazy but at this time I am making his food for him (this may or may not change...we will see).

He started smiling early but it was an accident for him...there was no reason for him to smile...he just did...but at a little before 2 months was the first time that he smiled in reaction to something that we did...

He slept through the night for the first time at 6 weeks (THANK YOU BABYWISE) and we still have our ups and downs but he consistently sleeps through the night...everyonce in a while now he wakes up EARLY at around 5 am...but he usually sleeps from around 8 pm til about 7 am every night (he is awesome I know)

His first laugh in response to something i did was at the end of May...he know GIGGLES all the time at almost anything

He as of this week is scooting backwards....he gets in a crawl position but then moves him self backwards...ill post a video of this soon!

Okay now I will post about things as they happen!!!
