Okay, okay... I fail! But come on, this Mommy Business is hard work! The only reason I have time to post right now is that he fell asleep after I finished my Rockstar. I don't know what's going on with my crazy child... He's been sleeping oh so perfectly for the past month or so and tonight he just wouldn't go to sleep! We started trying to get him down at 10 and he literally just fell asleep. I posted on BabyCenter asking if it could be teething because he's also drooling up a storm and he has a constant snot river coming from his adorable little nose and someone else thinks that could be the culprit. I just hope he isn't up at 7, ready to play. But then part of me hopes he is. Mainly because I hate staying up all night these days. Bryce is working 7-11 this morning and then if Tristan's awake and happy and the sun is all shiny and warm, we're heading to the park! I'm excited. I think it's just what we all need. Some sun, some laughs...sounds like perfection.
Once again, we're one week away from a new month... the big 7 months. And the fact that he's growing so super fast is really depressing me. I had really bad PPD and I don't think that I'm ever going to be off my meds again. I need to get into the doctor soon because this whole crying every night thing is really getting old. I know it won't stop the depressing thoughts ("he's never going to fit into his newborn stuff again", "soon he'll be feeding himself", "he doesn't need me to rock him to sleep anymore & he doesn't like to cuddle with me anymore"), but I hope it will help with the hormones. I seriously hope I'm not the only FTM out there who cries over every little thing. I forgot what it was yesterday... He did something new and big boyish and I started crying. I started crying over the fact that in a few days, my baby could have itty bitty teeth and then he'll be moving on from baby food... I try to cherish every moment... but these thoughts just keep haunting me. My sweet little son will never be this small again. My heart aches...
ANYWAY! We got pictures done on the 18th or something? I think it was the 18th. The point is, we get them back today! I'm super excited! Because of our awesome membership, we were able to get enhanced photos and collages for half price. So we got our favorite picture with his name on it, we got a collage with four pictures, plus we got wallets and 5-7's that we didn't even need! :) I love discounts. So Uncle Mike & Aunt Sandi, if you're reading this, I hope you're prepared =P I'm definitely sending these out (plus all the ones I meant to send out and failed to). Linkage:here
Since Easter is Sunday, we've been putting his Easter basket together. The only problem is, with all the stuff, the basket we got is too small. So I'm having a difficult time fitting everything prettily. Including all of the stuff my mom bought him, he's gotten five movies (we're still buying more... we still have a few days ya know =P), four books, a box of flash cards to do with his daddy every night, two bath toys, a new teether (keys that make noise!) new jeans, a new shirt and new cute little sandals that are all skulled up :). He's a spoiled little turd and we're okay with that. I still want to get him a new towel (Costco has an adorable hooded towel that's a dragon!) and some swim trunks. And maybe some sunglasses. We found some awesome ones at Wal-Mart - They're Phineas & Ferb sunglasses and that just happens to be one of his favorite shows! And Saturday night we found out he loves Toy Story. Our child is freaking awesome.
He still isn't crawling, thankfully. I'm still trying to catch up on my rest from when he wasn't sleeping at night. He's a little lazy... we put him up on his hands and knees and he'll rock for a few seconds and then he'll push his legs out and just lay on his tummy.
He's been trying new food- he loves mangoes, mangoes-kiwi-apples, apples-cherries, pears-green beans, green beans, pumpkin-apple, apples-blueberries, strawberries-bananas... his favorite dinner is apples and chicken. Bryce gave him a piece of turkey a few weeks ago and he chew it like he'd been doing it all of his life. He loved it! He HATED the mashed potatoes I made him try a couple nights ago. He wasn't too thrilled about the avocado or the yogurt. He doesn't like jarred bananas. He didn't really like the jarred turkey either. He's been trying to get the hang of a sippy cup (he hold it sideways...sooo cute!), but I think he prefers drinking out of ours. He liked our ice water. He talks up a storm!
We went to see Bryce's parents and brother weekend before last and at first Tristan wasn't too sure about these "new" people. It'd been a few months since we'd had the chance to get over there. I think he was mainly just tired (we got in late) because the next day he had so much fun with his grandma and grandpa! He was confused by Bryce's brother... I'm sure he was thinking (and Bryce said it first!), "Why do you look like my daddy...with long hair?" While we were there, he would only sleep with us which was fine because I couldn't do much anyway. (That morning before we left I stupidly bent over funny to pick him up and I pulled a major muscle in my back. It STILL hurts, but not as bad. The pain shot around my left side and it still stings in the middle of my chest. And it still gets tingly at random moments. It sucks.) We had a lot of fun and we're going to try going over more often so that Tristan remembers them, even if he is tired. While we were there, he also got to play in his cousin's walker! He took a few steps backwards. And he had a bite of Jell-O. I know now not to give him Jell-O because his sister yelled at me in two different ways on Facebook because her daughter had a seizure after having it. But he was so cute when he was eating it :)
When we came home, Tristan was playing in his activity center thingy and he took a few steps around it! I was excited and sad all at the same time. We also discovered his obsession with Gizmo, Bryce's cat. He loves petting the kitty. And the kitty loves the attention. Gizmo will walk over to Tristan and headbutt him for pets. It's so cute. And when Tristan sees Gizmo he's just mesmerized and he'll start giggling like crazy!
Not sure what else to mention... this has been a lot and taken a lot of thinking to remember this much! So many new things happen on a daily basis it's hard to remember it all. I'll try to get better at updating... but no promises =P
