Crazy how much Tristan is changing day by day!!

Corey and I were cleaning in the kitchen today, Tristan was playing on the floor. Next thing we know Tristan is basically in the dishwasher...we got a little clip of him "helping clean." It hasnt even been 2 weeks since he really started to crawl and he is already into EVERYTHING.

Trip to Canton

This past weekend Tristan and I made the drive to Canton, GA (Casey lives there) for her wedding shower. The drive took a little longer than normal (around 8 hours), b/c of stopping to keep the little man happy! Tristan is crawling like a pro now, its crazy! Our house now has gates everywhere, I think the best thing about the gates is that I can keep Einstein out of rooms! While we were at Casey's Tristan had a blast playing with her dog Roy, the first time he saw Roy he FREAKED out, but then the next day it was like they had been buds forever! Tristan also pulled himself up into a standing position on his own-we sat him in a box and the next thing he is standing up to play with Casey's dog. He also go to see both of his grandmothers, my mom was able to drive down for the day of Casey's shower and hang out with the little guy. Overall it was a fun trip, but if I can I will be avoiding long trips by myself with him til hes a bit older its just not that much fun to have to stop so much!

Tristan is on the move!!!!

Tristan is officially on the move, and I need to get on the move and babyproof this house. I'm just going to have to buckle down and do a room a day! Tristan has been close to crawling for a couple of weeks now, but he got really started putting it all together yesterday afternoon. He is definantly a boy in that he seems to go towards wires or anything electronic! He will probably be walking before we know it!

Tristan is also talking now, well kind of. He says ma ma ma ma, da da da da, and na na na na.

He has had a busy last couple of weeks! Corey and I went on a little trip to Vegas and Corey's mom (Nana to Tristan) came down and spent some time with Tristan while we left. Seemed like the second we left the house we were ready to come back to the little man. Then Corey's Granny came down for a couple of days! Tristan enjoyed all of the attention and we enjoyed a little time to do some things around Destin. I'm sure he will be begging for them to come down once he can talk!!!

Each month I take Tristan to the baby weigh day here at the local hospital-he was 5.5 months this time and weighed 18.23 lbs.

We are headed to Georgia this weekend for Casey's wedding shower...I'm going without Corey so the drive should be interesting.

Say a Command!

Tonight when we were all eating dinner little monster was "talking away"---I was trying to get him to mimic sounds i made and then for some reason "say a command" came to mind (my phone says this to me when i use voice dial). Tristan had a giggling fit at this saying and we captured some of it on video. Please enjoy Tristan's video and his giggly happy squash eating self.

Tristan is getting close to crawling!!!!

Tristan is now getting up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth! He is getting frustrated that he cant quite figure out how to move. He has taken a couple of forward movements but cant do it consistently. He will figure it out soon enough. I need to start babyproofing this house!!! I'm not going to go crazy with the babyproofing, but i need to do some things! I want to get a real video camera at some point so that the videos aren't so jumpy and are a little better quality but until i win the lottery (which i rarely play) my little camera will do! Corey and I are going on a mini vacation for 5 days next week, maybe he will be a professional crawler by the time we get back! I cant believe that at the end of August he will be half way to a year, crazy how time flies!
