Easter Weekend

With Colson away at the Masters over Easter, it stands to reason that Trip would be sick the entire weekend. Gaky and Pops came in to give me some much needed assistance. Even though Trip was under the weather, he felt well enough on Saturday to hunt eggs. On Sunday the Easter Bunny brought Trip a Spiderman four wheeler that made him feel better for a little while.

Trip's 1st Birthday!

Trip's first birthday was Saturday and we had a ball! We had friends and family join us for his first taste of cake that he hated, his first whack at a pinata that he loved, and for love and laughter. We are so blessed to have so many friends and family to share the day with. Trip has been such a joy and we couldn't be more proud to have him be apart of our family. HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY T-RIP!!

Trip Walks!

Trip started walking Jan. 13, but this is the first decent video we have of him doing it. It's been a lot of fun and interesting to see the trips (no pun intended) and bruises. He's definitely keeping us on our toes!

Trip's Frist Christmas

We have truly had an amazing holiday season. We've been surrounded with family, friends and lots of love. Trip seemed to enjoy himself altough I'm certain he had no idea what was going on. He received a ridiculous amount of toys, but he most favorite toy of all is his little red wagon from Gaky and Pops. He will dash out the garage door to get to it in hopes of going for a ride anytime of the day or night. I need to take more pictures of him in it, but here are some snapshots from Christmas.

Gigi's Visit

Gigi just came for her first visit since Trip was a couple of weeks old. We had such a good time! We finally got some great pictures of the two of them and some with Dad.





Colson (the biggest kid of the family) bought some silly string because he just knew Trip would like it (translation = he wanted to play with it and if Trip liked it all the better!). Well, Trip LOVED it. He thought it was hilarious, so we video taped him laughing at it since he is still a hard one to get a chuckle out of.

Halloween Weekend

Halloween weekend was a blur for all of us. We had Gaky, Pops, and Aunt Bunny here for the weekend and the majority of us were sick! Trip is going on his second round of the stomach virus. It's not fun for any of us. He hasn't slept through the night in over a month and it's definitely taking its toll. Regardless of the growing pains, we are still having fun. I think he had his Halloween costume on for maybe 5 minutes... it was way too hot in Texas for that!

Trip's Album

Trip is getting is bottom two teeth right now, crawling like crazy and thinks he can just stand up anywhere he is. He has already learned to go up the stairs, but still doesn't have good balance. (We still haven't figured out a way to baby proof our stairs!) We finally got someone to come to our house to take some quick "professional" pictures of Trip. ("Professional" is used loosely here, but they are definitely better than anything I could have done.)
