Oral Exploration


Tristan is at that point that EVERYTHING goes in his mouth.
He has no sense of size, and no fear of anything he could possibly put his mouth around.
I've even had him lunge at my chin on several occasions!

I have to wonder if we had a girl if it would be the same...




We are prepping for the last of our "Grandparents Tour". Tristan has so far been to Oregon to visit Grandma Betty, Utah to visit Grandpa Alan and he is on his way next week to Oklahoma to visit Nash, Dana & Rochelle.

Mom & Dad (okay just mom) will have a huge adjustment next week as we are leaving Tristan in Oklahoma with Grandma Rochelle, and his Aunt Keli, Uncle Chad and cousins Jackson and Grace. Greg and I will continue on to Montreal for a work/play trip for 4 days. Should be interesting!

Ok So Its Been A While

Alright so it has been ages since I've updated. I'll try and throw some fun and interesting items up for anyone who hasn't given up on my ever posting again.

We made it past the tough period and since about 4-months has been a blast - more and more every day.Since April Tristan has obviously grown quite a bit...He's a day away from his official 6-month date and almost 18 pounds. At his 4-month checkup he was 90% in height and about 65% in weight.

We have been on 4 trips - Vail, Aspen, Oregon and Utah. He is a great little traveler and really loves the different sites and experiences. In fact even when we are home, it is important to keep him out seeing some different things each day, He takes after his mom and dad in his love for travel and being busy!

In May at 4-months Tristan started reading and rolling! (okay so trying to read...)


































In June Tristan went swimming for the first time, took his first flight and visited Grandma B in Oregon, and ate his first banana:



































We had a swim and play day with the cousins (Tate and Daphne) at the end of June:






In July we've been to Utah for a family reunion and to visit Grandpa Giffin. (we weren't great about pix!)





Life is good and fun, and at the end of each day we are pooped out!














Ciao until the next post (hopefully not another 3 months this time!)
