Tristan's First Food

Tristan got his first bit of real food yesterday. He's about 4 1/2 months old. He really liked the rice cereal mixed with a little milk and water. He gobbled it up like a champ. He's still learning where to put his tongue while eating but he did good for a first try! He loves sitting in the highchair. I think he likes to be able to sit upright and see everything! What a big boy! He's growing too fast!

First Snow

We got our first snow Sat. night. We only got a couple inches but we had some fun with it today. We sledded (as best we could in our yard), had snowball fights and made snow angels and snowmen.
The first snowman of the season.

Tristan came out in the snow too. When I put him down it was too bright for him and he was squinting too much to make a cute face.

I love Haydn's looks of sheer joy!



Connor tried his best to make the most of the slight slant in our yard...

Tristan's Stats

Our little baby is growing up. He's 4 1/2 months old already. A week ago I took him in for his doctor check-up and he was 15lbs 7.8oz and 24 3/4in tall. He's almost in the 75th% for both. He's still VERY much Mommy's boy but he's starting to like Daddy too. I think he's the sweetest, calmest little guy-as long as I'm around that is. He LOVES baths, being changed, patty-cake with his feet, his brothers attention and all the milk he can get. He recently started an I-don't-need-you-to-rock-me-to-sleep phase which I can't complain about. Sometimes if he won't calm down when I know he's tired I'll lay him in his bed and he konks out happily. I love his sweet smiles!
