An Active Morning

-26w1d/5m4w2d-

Helping Mommy with the laundry... (Rajah stalking the laundry basket as I wheeled it along)
He loves riding in the laundry basket! :)

 Tristan chewing on a toilet paper roll... It's all about the texture...

"See Mommy, I don't even have to put it down to come after you..."

I have to hold him with one hand to keep him from getting my camera...  Then he decided he wanted to climb on me, so I'm taking pics above me head not knowing what's in focus or where I'm really aiming... lol

Next, the swing...

It's a little more challenging to use to stand up with... but he loves a challenge :)

And there he goes... and back to his butt.  

Next stop, the chair.
"Doesn't that look like fun..."

"Well, I couldn't quite stand up, so I'm just going to play under here..."

He picked his gym up and was putting in on his lap, then pushing it away, then pulling it back on... it was pretty funny.  I really should have got it on video instead of just pictures...

Time for Daddy to come home for lunch.  Today he was helping me pet Rajah nicely.  

Yet, Rajah still had the look of "help me" on his face LOL

But he was being a good sport and Tristan was really excited about it...

Carrots

-26w/5m4w1d-

Well, Tristan wasn't too sure about carrots to begin with...

But it turns out, he really likes carrots!  

Tristan really likes the cat toy.  Rajah was keeping an eye on him while he was playing with it... which is funny because Rajah doesn't even play with it!  He never has liked it; Samson is the one who plays with it and he didn't care at all that Tristan was playing with it.

"What are you looking at, Rajah?"

Freezer Licker?

-26w/5m4w1d-

"Uh oh, Mommy caught me"

Tristan found the little stand up freezer we have in our dinning type area... and was trying to "eat" it or something... I thought it was hilarious.  Kaleb was not amused. :P

After his freezer licking was finished, he crawled over to the chair I was sitting in and climbed up my pants.
"Surprise Mommy! I found you" LOL

"Come on Mommy, give me the camera or pick me up!"

First Halloween

-25w6d/5m4w-

We had a little game night at our house for Halloween today.  Costumes were required :)
Kaleb came up with Tristan's costume idea.  He was adorable! :)

Can you guess what he is?

Laser Pointer

-25w5d/5m3w6d-

Trying to get Tristan to sit for the camera now is almost impossible! All he wants to do is crawl away! LOL

He really wants my camera and now that he can come after me, he chases me down if I get on the floor!

Not sure who wants the laser more, Tristan , Rajah or Samson.

Tristan was sitting next to Kaleb on the couch holding his arm (you can still see Tristan's hand on Kaleb) and he just... fell asleep! hehehe  Tired little man.

Broke My Heart

-25w5d/5m3w6d-

So, this morning....

Kaleb was getting ready for work and they are suppose to wear costumes... so I was helping him get ready. 
Tristan and I were in our room hanging out.  He was sitting in the middle of our bed.  Well, he needed me to tie the back of his costume for him... and BOOM! We hear Tristan crawl off the side of the bed! :(

He cried, a lot.  I set him on the bed and he just tried to grab me so he could bury his head in my shoulder again.  :(
Kaleb feels horrible!  I'm very adamant about watching him and keeping him in the middle of our bed, especially now that he can crawl.  Well, he had me distracted dealing with getting him out the door for work... so I think he feels responsible.  He even apologized for distracting me.
It's no ones fault.  Yes, it was preventable... but kids are going to fall down.  We can't protect them from everything.

Tristan is a trooper though.  I think he was more shaken up than anything...

After it happened.. I held him for a while, gave him his morning bottle... he wanted to go back to sleep but had his eyes open.
I held him again, he immediately laid his head on my shoulder and went to sleep. *awww*
I put him in his crib.  Wide awake.
So, I picked him back up and held him.. again.. immediately laid his head on my shoulder and went to sleep.  I held him for a while then laid him in his crib, this time he stayed asleep.

He took his standard 30 minute nap and is just fine now... like nothing happened. He is happily sitting on the living room floor playing with his toys and crawling around.

He is such a trooper!

Teddy Bear

-25w4d/5m3w5d-

Tristan is really starting to like the Teddy Bear that Babette gave him.  And yes, he was born to be wild.

This little cell phone from Nancy is what Tristan was chasing when he started crawling!

Never too young to start on John Maxwell! Though he has heard him speak; I was 9+ months pregnant when we traveled to Spokane to see him speak. :)
He pulled the box off the shelf and hit it like a drum. lol
