Updates

So much has been going on I'm not surprised it's been 2 months since the last posting! Tristan is nearly 8 months old now, and in the last 3 days he has figured out how to crawl and is trying to pull himself up. He's become more mobile over the past month or so, but was doing more scooting around and seemed to have trouble getting a leg out to get the crawling motion down, but now he's figured it out and it was exciting that Don got his first crawling to me on camcorder a couple nights ago! I am happy to say Tristan and I are feeling better. I am on a second round of antibiotics for a sinus infection that I apparently shared with him, so he is taking his first antibiotics after 3 days of fever, congestion, and runny nose. So far Jordon and Don have managed to stay healthy, so we'll hope that continues.

Jordon is saying some fun things now. Here are some recent things he's said. The first 2 were on our way to the ENT for his f/u after having the 2nd set of tubes placed in his ears. He was looking at me from his carseat and said "Mamo, I like your earrings". Then he said "Mamo, you look like a girl". I was glad to hear that :) Recently we were walking into Wal-Mart and he said "I like holding your hand". He has also picked up on some things we say to him- he now says "Mamo and Daddy, I'm talking to you" to get our attention and make sure we are listening. He recently has been very excited about his new Buzz Lightyear, a gift purchased with a gift card sent as part of his birthday goodies from Grandpa Don and Joyce. This Buzz has many different sayings, spreads his wings, and has laser and light functions. He has barely put him down and wants to take him to daycare to "show friends". Don said the first day he immediately heard him tell a friend not to touch but things improved from there.

I still need to go back and post pictures from Jordon's 3rd b-day, but will get it done eventually. Right now we are in the midst of selling our home, packing, and trying to find a place to live and move within 3 weeks! I'm sure it will all work out.
