Tristans 6 month photo shoot

We got Tristan's 6 month pictures done yesterday and they turned out really good. He was such a good boy and had such a good time. I think he thought it was play time. It turned out to be a great expirience. My little baby is starting to look like a little boy now. I can't believe it!

6 Months Old Already!!

Well, Tristan turned 6 months old last Sunday. Can you believe it! I can't. We go to the doctor tomorrow for his shots and to see how big he is now so I will post that as soon as I know. He is changing so much. He slept entirely throught the night Sunday and Monday night but did'nt last night. I was hoping he was going to keep it up but no such luck.





We went to the Zoo last Friday but he was quite tired and only liked it for a little bit. He slept a lot of the time. He did like to look at the animals though. He just stared and followed them around everywhere. We only took a couple pictures this time around.

A few new pictures...

We got Tristan some new Ohio State outfits this past week. Hopefully he will bring some luck to the Buckeyes tonight for the big USC game!

We were going to take Tristan to the zoo today but hurricane Ike is bringing the rains all day so we are going to try and go next Friday. We have been trying to go for the past couple of weeks but something always comes up so hopefully next week will work out.
He is still teething pretty bad and not sleeping to well. I give him Tylenol at night but that only takes the edge off for a couple of hours. I hope his little gums will feel better soon. Other than that nothing else new has been going on. Hopefully I will have some zoo pics to update with next week :)

We got some toofers!

Well Tristan is finally getting some teeth! I had fed him dinner and he usually sucks on the spoon but this time I had a harder time pulling it out. I couldn't figure out what he was doing different. Well I went to make some avocado for the next days dinner and since he had already eaten dinner I just put some on my finger to see if he liked it. Well I was surprised to feel a sharp little tooth. It is just at the surface but its coming through. I guess that's why I had a hard time pulling the spoon out. I am so excited! I never realized how exciting it would be for Tristan to get his first teeth. I keep trying to get him to show me but he is always sticking his tongue out so its really hard to see. We are getting his 6 month pictures done in a couple of weeks and I hope they are up by then so we can see them in his pictures. It's crazy, all with in a couple of weeks he is sitting completely on his own and getting teeth. My how the time flies.

I fed him Avocado for the first time last night and he absolutely loved it. He whined every time I took the spoon away to get more. I couldn't shovel it in his mouth fast enough! So far Avocados and Green Beans are his favorite. He has been such a great eater so far and I really hope it stays like that. I would really hate for him to be a picky eater like his mom! I will probably make pears or bananas next and see how that goes.

Oh, I will try and post some more pictures in the next day or two. We got some cute ones of him in his Ohio State apparel. As soon as it gets chilly he will be wearing his Cowboys Tony Romo shirt. Cant wait!

Race for the Cure

The 15th Annual Komen Race for the Cure is on Sunday, September 28, 2008. Those who want to register go to:
http://www.komennwohio.org/race/race_information.html

Registration is $25 for adults and $20 for kids. You get a t-shirt and refreshments to follow the race. There is a Family Fun walk that is about a mile, 5k walk, and 5k timed run. I think I am going to do the 5k walk. If you have never done race for the cure before you should come out and support these Breast Cancer survivors and the support to find the cure. It really is an amazing thing to attend. Our company will have a table there so if you come make sure you stop by the Toledo Surgical Specialist table. We have one of the leading surgeons in our practice for NW Ohio for breast cancer. Her name is Doctor Candilee Butler. Just wanted to give those interested an FYI. I missed registration last year so I couldn't do the walk so instead I just ran the table. Up to 75% of the net proceeds raised each year at the Komen Northwest Ohio Race for the Cure remain in Northwest Ohio. No other race or breast cancer fundraiser allocates as much to local programs. Since its inception, the Komen Northwest Ohio Affiliate has given more than $3.8 million to fund breast cancer programs that directly benefit the 18 county service area. At least 25% of the net funds raised support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grant Program that is regarded as the most innovative and responsive grant program in breast cancer research today.

He's sitting, He's sitting!

Well, this is a week over due, but Tristan is sitting all by himself now! I updated before and said that he was sitting for up to 5 seconds; well we went over Uncle Charlie and Aunt Margies last weeked and I wanted to show them that he was sort of sitting, and he just stayed there. He was sitting for a minute or so and now he is barely falling over at all. I can't believe it! I kept telling Ken I didn't even know if he would be doing this by 6 months and he did it right when he turned 5 months. I swear, he never ceases to amaze me. I was talking to my mom yesterday and she was reading me things from my baby book and I couldn't believe how on track he is with where I was. Tristan only weighed 1 oz more than me when I was born, at 4 months I only weighed 1 oz more than him and a half of an inch longer, and he did baby talk and rolled around the same time as me. If he stays on track with me, he will be walking around the couch by Christmas. I want to look at Kens baby book and compare with him as well. I just love this first year so much!
