Real men wear leg warmers...

Who says leg warmers are just for girls???

Don't these little knees deserve to be cushioned from the carpet too?

Who can deny these thighs from being stuffed into leg warmers 

like sausage links...

So despite what daddy says... Real men wear leg warmers ;)

Mommy Photography Strikes Again!

When you have a baby as cute as this its hard not to set up a home 

photo shoot whenever the mood strikes.

At every stage I find my self saying, "this is my favorite age...

no this is my favorite age."  

We are enjoying every milestone with you Tristan but I am not going to be sad about

you getting older and not doing "baby things" anymore because I know now that as

you grow I will always say..

"This is my favorite!"

A Toothy Grin

Teething Time

My little teeth are coming through I don't know what to do
My Mum gave me a teething ring to sit all day and chew .
Dad said ,
"You've got to get your teeth before you eat your meat"
I watch him crunching crispy bacon as I nibble on my feet .
If only I had teeth like Dad I'd crunch my teething ring,
but all I have are red raw gums and oh my how they sting .

Tristan, you have been such a trooper through your teething.

Your favorite remedy right now is a cold wash cloth to suck on.   

Through it all, you are still such a good natured baby.

You got your first two bottom teeth a couple of weeks ago

 and now your two top teeth are trying to make their debut.  

Oh, how I love your new toothy grin!

Best Mother's Day!

I had to work my first Mother's Day and I was sort of feeling sorry for myself until I helped another mother bring her daughter into this world. Then, Luke and Tristan come to see me at work and made my day! Being a mother is the greatest gift!

May Day

Woke up to this out our window today...

(some kind of May Day, huh?)

-Mother Nature is truly playing tricks on us this Spring.

Anyway...

Remember 3 months ago I posted "changing right before my eyes" and ended 

that post by saying- Can't wait to see what the next three months will bring.  

Well, this is what they brought...

4 months

5 months

6 months

Tristan had his well baby check earlier this week and his stats were:

Wt  15 lb 10 oz

Ht  26 in (2 ft 2 in)

He remains consistently at the 15th percentile 

and is hitting all his milestones.  

He is growing by leaps and bounds!
