I can't believe Tristan is 6 months already. He had his half birthday on Saturday. Today while I was playing with him I realized how big he has gotten and felt a little sad. He is so much fun these days. All you have to do is make eye contact with him to get a smile. Say a couple words and you'll get a giggle.
Devan and Tristan have become pretty good pals lately. Devan can get a little rough with Tristan sometimes, but Tristan puts him in his place by pulling his irresitably long hair.
Tristan started solid foods a few weeks ago. Up until just this last week he would spit most of it out, rub it in his hair and face, and call it good.
Well, he's finally getting the hang of it now. I'm so happy about that. Devan is such a silly boy, whenever I make Tristan his oatmeal he'll come up and ask for a taste. I give him a spoonful and he goes, "mmmmm...(makes a bite noise) taste gooood."
This is one of Devan's favorite places to lay. I think he's pretending to be asleep in the picture. He's a nut. He is a pretty smart boy though. We bought him a train table with a wood track and everything (used for $30 woohoo!) Chad couldn't figure out how to connect one part of it. Devan (who is great with puzzles) moved it around a bit and fixed it! Sometimes he's a little to smart for his own good. He's been potty training these last few weeks. He's figured out that he can use this to his advantage. When he get's in trouble and has to got to time out, he magically has to go potty, same for when it's time to go to bed. So what do we do? We don't want to discourage him from using the bathroom, I don't want to have to change his diapers anymore! But at the same time, how do we follow through with a punishment or keep a schedule for bed time if he does this. So frusturating...
On a different topic, I'm getting excited to go to Idaho mid-October. My mom is the only one on my side of the family who has met Tristan. So I can't wait for everyone to finally see him. Also, my sister Leslie and her family will be there from Norway with their new baby, Sophia. I can't wait to meet her! And finally, I can't believe I haven't met my new brother-in-law, Landon. I was 8 months pregnant when Lindsay and Landon got married so I couldn't make it to Idaho. It's going to be so great to see everyone, I can't wait!

There so adorable! There gonna be the best of friends forever! I love the pic with Tristan laying on the stairs, there just the right lenght for him!
I can't wait to spend time with you and the boys! It is hard to believe Tristan is 6 months old - he looks like he will steal our hearts! It is sure fun to talk to Devan when he calls. We need to get on web cam soon. Love, Mom
It is always sad when your baby moves out of baby stage. But even more fun to see how they change. Good thing he knows how to fight back:) Yay for you coming to Idaho. Enjoy the cold weather!
Your boys are so adorable and look like they're gonna be best buds!
That's so exciting your gonna be able to go see all your family soon. That would be hard being away and having a 6month old only your mom has seen. I hope you have a great time in idaho!
What cute kids!!! They grow up sooo fast, and then you look back and wonder where all the time went! I can't believe it has been 7 years since we were in High School!! Now we are all grown-ups!! Well, maybe not at heart..but we look older!
I still can't believe you have TWO kids! You are such a great mom though & your boys are soo fun!! Love the Pics!!
Wow it's crazy how fast time passes. You guys are all looking great! Tristan is such a jolly little man!
Holy cow...he is getting so big...and 6 months already!! We can't wait any longer to meet him so it's a good thing you come next month! :) Love all the cute pics!
P.S. The Kenny Chesney song just came on...James LOVES that song too!! ;)
Your boys are so cute! Having two boys is the best. Especially once they really start playing (fighting) together. ha ha... I'm jealous you get to go up to Idaho. I need to plan a trip one of these days too. Preferably before the 8 months of winter, right?
It is so good to hear from you, and yes I do remember that day from jr. high. Ahh. good times huh? Your family is so beautiful. Congrats on the handsome boys!! Keep in touch.
