Cookin' Cuteness

I thought I'd try a little photo shoot with Tristan on this rainy day! Here's my cutie pie in a pot...

1st Piano Lesson

I've been struggling to find something to challenge Connor since he's so far ahead in school right now. Since Connor is such a good reader I thought we could start an instrument now. So, Connor had his first piano lesson today. He LOVED it. His teacher is our Bishop's wife and she is also the Primary pianist so he knows her well. We really like their whole family, my kids love theirs and vice versa even though there's a big age difference. After his practice he asked me multiple times if he could hold his piano binder. When I would ask why, he'd say, "just because." When his Dad came home he had Scott sit and watch him practice his first assignment. Yeah for piano!!!

Tristan's 8 Months Old

Tristan is 8 months old on this St. Patrick's day. I thought I'd do a little update. He's still not crawling which baffles me. He does however sit up perfectly well, roll almost everywhere he wants to go, turn 180 degrees and scoot backwards. He's been like this for weeks, he just prefers sitting up to laying down so crawling hasn't happened yet. I also haven't been pushing it since I've seen what that entails and can wait as long as he wants. He's sleeping well but schedules are kind of crazy after the time change. He's such a happy little munchkin as long as someone is paying attention to him. His newest joy is when I say "Yes, yes, yes." and "No, no, no." while shaking my head in the right direction. It gets him smiling really big, if no laughing hysterically. He even learned to shake his head no. He's enjoying being outside with us now that the weather has been nice. I took the boys to the park today and Tristan loved the swing. We love our Tristan. Here's some cute smiles from him.


This is the bald spot that will NOT go away (I will let you know when it finally does.

This is his cute little puppy dog tongue that is out half the day.
