Blog update aka "photo dump"

So due to my computer dying and no internet, I have not been able to blog in awhile (since October). So here is my Halloween/ Christmas blog post.

D-F: Trick or treating for my big Hulk and little Lion.

Winter:

Snowball fight for brother and lazy snow chillin for baby boy

1-3: Christmas decorating with my itty bitties.

4-5: Zombie hunting time. Walking Dead eat your heart out :).

6: My cutie!

7: Tristan's hand-print ornament from school.

So I hope you all enjoyed the photo avalanche, now onto the boys updates. Hope you all had an awesome Christmas!!

A combination of post updates :)

So this post will combine a few things: Halloween picture post, Emmett's 1 month post, Tristan's speech update, and an update on our lives currently so here you go:


Our Lives and Tristan's speech: 

So right now we are still working on our housing situation and are hoping to have a house within the next week or so! I cannot wait to start Christmas shopping and decorating and getting our lives back to normal. Things have been very hectic with Tristan hating being cooped up in a hotel room, Emmett having thrush, filing for child support, a funeral, and other stuff so I'm ready for our lives to get back to normal again. I have currently lost 25lbs so far since having Emmett so I'm very glad about that. Eventually I will get around to Emmett's birth post once things are less stressful. Tristan's speech has improved majorly and he's now using 3-5 word sentences!! I'm so proud of him. He now knows his animals, animal sounds, and body parts. He's also now almost out of 4t and completely into 4/5s in boys and 5t clothing. He's so big now and it's all height.

Halloween:

So my friend took Tristan trick or treating this year and Emmett and I stayed home. He was Iron Man  due to his new love of the superhero. I got his costume at Goodwill for 37 cents and his grandpa got his mask for $5 so we did good this year. 

Emmett's 1st Halloween!

Emmett's 1 month update:

Height/ Weight: 9lbs 3oz and 21.5in long

Milestones: Holding up his head pretty well, slowly working his way to 6oz per feeding of formula, and we've caught a few smiles. 

Halloween 2011

            So yesterday was Halloween and we (Chris, my best friend KG, her chihuahua, and I) took Tristan trick or treating. He stayed in his stroller to avoid any crankiness but he LOVED it. He loved the attention and the candy but he refused to hold his bucket or his toy club. He'd occasionally say hi to the people giving out candy and even said thank you once (he also took 2 pieces of candy instead of 1). All in all, it was a pretty good night. We didn't get any trick or treating pictures (though his grandparents got a couple when we stopped there so might have some when/ if they upload them) but we got a couple at home later but he really wasn't in the mood for pictures.
