well, here we are, months later, and this little guy is now ONE! So very hard to believe. we still don't know exactly what "free time" is (as shown by the lack of posts here), but we just keep moving from day to day, week to week, and month to month. This year has been a busy one, and while we were so looking forward to summer, it already feels as if it is on its way out. I just saw Halloween decorations AND xmas wreaths the other day displayed for sale in a store....how depressing. I think I will avoid retail shops until we actually hit October. We just celebrated a wonderful milestone for Tristan this past week. No, not turning over or crawling or even walking with a bit of assistance, or mastering finger foods.... simply his turning one! With two baby BUG cakes (one for him, and one for us!), balloons and lots of family in town, it was a good time for all. Some cake and icing actually made it to his mouth, and we think he liked it, until the nose scrunched up, eyes squinted, and before long he was wearing blue mucky gloves. It was all good. Off to nap time a few hours later, all in all, a memorable day for us.
So here we are, one year later, and what's next? who knows! This guy keeps us busy busy busy, and we have been so blessed with a baby who is most certainly "good" if not "great." Yea, let's go for great. He's so full of life and spirit and energy, always with a smile (as long as he can keep those feet moving!). Thank you to everyone for a wonderful year of congratulations, smiles, visits, FOOD!, advice, gifts/cards, and most of all support. We have enjoyed sharing this incredibly amazing journey with you all this first year, and look forward to keeping you updated as our little man continues to grow his personality.
