Mischief

That should be Tristan's middle name!  What were we thinking?

Tristan has officially learned to throw tantrums.  Before I thought it was funny and kinda cute.  Now it's just plain obnoxious.  He will literally throw himself on the ground and start screaming if we say no or take something away.  Isn't that just like a cartoon or kid's book thing?  I didn't think it was for real!

On the bright side, we think he is getting smarter.  Because when we say no, it's an automatic invitation to do it.  My favorite is when I tell him not to touch something, and he will stare at me and go to touch it with one finger.  Or he'll just tap it really quick.  Ulgh!  He knows!

This is cute though.  I built him a little fort today with blankets and chairs.  He thought it was the coolest thing ever!  He crawled in and out of the door, giggling like mad.  And if you spooked him when he poked his head out, he would shriek and laugh so loud.  Kids are so fun because everything is a new surprise.  What would it be like to see the world that way?

And chicken.  He LOVES grilled chicken.  Seriously, I think he ate a whole half a chicken breast tonight by himself.  It's goo though, the kid needs some protein in his diet.  We gotta bulk him up for football, right?  Hahaha, go ahead laugh.  I know he's never going to be big enough for that.  If he ever tried out he would be pulverized.  Nah, best I can hope for is soccer.  Oh, and tennis I guess.  But, I think I'm going to steer him towards the piano and dancing.  That way he can get onto "So You Think You Can Dance?" and play Mozart.  The arts are what really catches a girls eye.  Who cares about all the manly sporty stuff that's basically just to impress other men?  Might as well turn his efforts to something that will actually win him a wife someday!

And okay okay, this is a little twisted……Tristan is scared of the vacuum.  No idea why.  He thinks it's going to suck him up or something.  Anyhoo, I was vacuuming, and he let out  this terrified shriek and "ran" to hide behind the entertainment center, but actually ended up just being squished in the corner.  When I got closer, and he realized he was trapped, he started freaking out and sobbing.  So I moved back, and he "ran" again to his bedroom, crying all the way.  It was sooo funny.  I gave him a hug afterwards and was like, Tristan, I was driving it, why would you think I would run you over???  Kids are hilarious.  One minute he thinks the vacuum is fun, and the next it scares him out of his pants!

Daddy likes to make baby wear capes

Awh, being sweet with the kitty

Mmm, this chicken is soo good!

Forget the hands!  Just eat it right off the tray!
