4 year update

So Tristan turned 4 and he has changed so much since he turned 3. He started Head Start in September and has changed so much since. He can write several letters including 4 of the letters in his name. He has 5 friends from school that he talks about and knows his full name and age. He lately has been talking to me about his feelings when he is upset as well. I've also noticed how crazy and hilarious his imagination is.


Height: 41.5in
Weight: 41lbs
Clothing: 5/6 boys shirts, 5t pants and some tops, and size 10.5-11 shoes (depends on brand)

Easter 2013

So I originally thought I wouldn't have much of an Easter post just like every other holiday lately and I don't have much to mention but I got pictures so that makes up for it :). Well, Saturday we decided to color eggs since Tristan would be gone most of Sunday with his dad (Emmett wasn't going since it's first Easter and that was just not going to happen). We followed this pin on Pinterest (sort of). We used whip cream and food coloring mixed together and rolled the eggs in them. We didn't do eggs with multiple colors, we separated them. 

We let ours sit for 20-25minutes.

They came out pastel colored and our yellow egg just stayed white.

And then here's our Easter Bunny pictures and Spring picture:

Yep, not our best but next year we'll hopefully get better ones. Now yes, we celebrate Easter and I do the whole Easter Bunny thing but I also try to teach Tristan and eventually Emmett about God. We didn't get to do church this year though. Tristan's Easter bucket consisted of mainly toys and such but also I got him Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe which is sadly his only gift that even relates to the story of Easter.

So you saw our morning began with an Easter egg hunt and then we watched Springtime with Roo. Then I watched Chronicles of Narnia about 2 or so times with Emmett and took pictures of him and we laid around until 5pm when Tristan came home and we went to my best friend's house and ate tacos. Yes, new tradition for us... tacos. It was a good day for us though and I enjoyed spending it with the people I love. 

How was your Easter?

Christmas and kid updates

Christmas:

This year I thought would be terrible due to recently moving and no job but at the last second, we had money for shopping. Tristan got (from both myself and friends/family): a spiderman chair, Avengers shirts and sweater, more clothes and socks, tons of blocks, puzzles, toy guitar, a pillow pet, and more toys. Emmett got tons of clothes, a musical seahorse, teething rings, teething books, pillow pet, stuffed animals, and a crib bumper. Everyone played pass the baby with Emmett and he loved it. Sadly though I didn't get any pictures.

3 years old:

Height: 37in
Weight: 36lbs
Clothing/ Shoes: 4/5s and 5t, some 4t pants and size 10wide shoes

His language is rapidly growing and he really does have my attitude. He is obsessed with Iron Man and the Hulk and his wardrobe consists of mainly superhero stuff.

3 months old:

Height: unknown
Weight: 14lbs 8oz
Clothing size: 3-6 months onesies, sleepers, overalls, and sweaters. 0-3 months pants and some sweaters and vests.

Sleep: 11pm-5am (bottle) then sleeps again til about 8-9am and then a couple naps during the day.

His head control is so much better now, he's still lazy about rolling over but he can do it. He's always full of smiles.

so chunky!

took 3 months to get this kind of picture :)

Sorry everyone for not posting sooner. Everything is still hectic and we still don't have internet. Oh I recently have become a fan of the Hunger Games books... it's an addiction.

Wordless Wednesday: pictures of things you've missed

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.
