Going, Going, Gone!

Shortly after moving to Vegas Tristan began learning to crawl. Yes, we immediately began child proofing, having a baby on the move again. It didn't take long and he has now taken off...and quickly! He is soo on the move now! He crawls everywhere...he particularly loves to head for the dog dishes and the stairs! lol. He can go all the way up the entire stair case by himself! He also loves to follow Brodie around, and can get himself into the playroom on his own. He has recently began pulling or pushing himself up on things to stand. And just these last couple days he has been getting brave and letting go of those things to stand by himself. I think we will have a walker soon. I'm not sure Mommy and Daddy are ready for this!

We also have a teether! Tristan's first tooth broke thru last week (on the 20th, yes, at 9 months old). He may have had no teeth, but that didn't stop him from eating a thing. Tristan now boycotts baby food and wants our food, food that he can pick up and feed himself. Yes, every meal is very messy. ;) He is starting to know what he wants but can't express it to us (other than squealing), so we are teaching him a few words in sign language, as we did with Brodie.

Our little one is getting so big, right before our eyes. We are cherishing every moment...even the 5:45am wake up calls (Mommy's special snuggle time). ;) But, Mommy is thankful that he is now consistently sleeping fully through the night and can't really complain about 6am since the boys are in bed at 7:30pm. :) And...if you've been around Tristan lately you know he has become quite the Mommy's boy. He is very attached to Mommy...especially if she is in sight or reach. This sometimes makes things difficult but it also melts Mommy's heart.

It's late now, but I will post next on our other little warrior, Brodie and then some of what's been happening here in Vegas. Love yall! ;)
