Stand by Me

I love the song Stand by Me, in fact I signed it in my ASL class last year. I saw this video online and it's and amazing rendition of the song. I have to admit it made me tear a little... enjoy!

Amazing 'Stand By Me' Rendition

This Kid is Crazy

It's 5:00 in the morning. Tristan didn't take a very good nap(s) yesterday so he ended up falling asleep at 8:00pm so now he's awake and wants to play.

He's just so cute! How could I say no to that face?

Who does Tristan look more like?

My friend Eddie was over tonight just to hang out for a bit. He was talking to his wife on the phone and said he thought Tristan looked like Chad. Which he definitely does, he's Chad's Mini-Me. But then I showed Eddie this picture:To which Eddie said, holy cow, he looks just like Chad. Haha one problem: That's me at 6 months! Tristan's definitely a good mix of the two of us! :D Don't you just love the fat rolls on my legs? What do you think? Who does he look more like?
Here's Tristan with his blanket that my aunt made and his Christmas ornament (sending presents late runs in the family I guess!)

Proof

This is one of my new fav's! Such a happy boy! This is really how he usually looks. So here's proof that Tristan really does smile. :D Everyone always tells me how serious he always looks in pictures and it's only because as soon as you pull out the camera he stops smiling! Stinker! Ryan seems to be the only one who can get pictures of him smiling.

This is Tristan and Lucky (Ryan and Janelle's puppy)

Look at that belly!

Such a cute picture..... I just had to share!

Our Little Easter Bunny

Tristan has been trying all kinds of new foods lately, bananas, peaches, applesauce, peas and most recently.... CARROTS! It seemed like an appropriate post for this weekend with it being Easter and all. He loves the fruits and seemed to like the peas at first but towards the end he kept making a disgusted face. We'll have to try them again to see if he truly dislikes them. But he got carrots for the first time yesterday and loved them. A little too much if you ask me... they were everywhere! Haha he even sneezed with a mouthful and I got sprayed. Thank heavens I was just wearing a bra or my clothes would have been ruined! This picture cracks me up... he looks a little drunk on the carrots!It was quite a cleanup operation. A simple wipe down with baby wipes would not suffice with this mess so I stuck him in the sink to hose him down. Even with scrubbing his skin had a slight orange hue to it. There were carrots everywhere, all over him (obviously!) covering his tray and high chair and of course on me. Besides the sneeze he also grabbed my arm after having stuck his hand in his mouth.

More of the Boy

Just some new pictures of Tristan. Since no one in my family lives here, they don't get to see Tristan very often (if at all) so here's some more pictures for them! He's just about into 9-12 months clothes and gives me a work out just holding him. I can only imagine how it will be when he's one! He still hasn't figured out to go from his belly to his back but he's great at the other way around. He constantly flips himself onto his belly and then gets pissed because he doesn't know how to get back. We'll let him fuss for a few minutes and then flip him back, he then promptly flips himself back to his belly. Darn kid! His newest thing is laying on his back and pushing up with his feet. He scoots across the floor a bit this way and also tries to push himself out of his swing.I just had to get a picture of this. He so did not want to be in the swing so he pushed and pushed with his feet and shoulders until he ended up like this.This is about as close as I could get to a pictuere of him smiling. Every time I pull out the camera he stops smiling and just looks at me. He's tricky!And one of him with his thumb in his mouth. He wasn't actually sleeping, he just kept blinking when the camera flashed. Apparently that problem runs in the family because I blink in pictures all the time and so does my mom!
