Tristan Update

Besides having had a stomach bug the last few days, Tristan is doing fabulously.  Growing like a weed.  Still tilting occasionally, but like I said before, we've decided to just let him be.  Poor kid has been tormented enough.  He's fitting his 2T clothes snuggly, which is tragic because that is where we run out of hand-me-downs!  As soon as he outgrows these clothes, we're going to need to buy them for him ourselves, hahaha.  So, thank you to my sisters for giving us all your boys old clothes, they have saved us two years of shopping!

We had been advised to take him to speech therapy because he still isn't talking, but don't think we're going to do that either.  He'll start talking when he's ready I guess.  For now, he's started saying "yeah" "uh-oh" "wow" "buh-bye" "dada" "mama" "caaaa"(cat or car, we aren't sure....) and his favorite "buggie!".  Yeah, we have no idea what that means either.  Otherwise, everything else is a loud grunt or scream.  He also goes "huh??????" like an old senile woman.  Which is funny, especially to strangers.

And the stink eye.  He glares at everyone!  Probably because I glare at him when he's naughty.  And he rolls his eyes, pretty sure he got that one from Nick.  

He is getting better with Korra and Lilly, not trying to squash them as much.  We bought a little cat wand with feathers and stuff, and he loves to play with that with Lilly.  She will follow him all over the house if he is holding that thing, which of course he gets a kick out of.  She has got to be either the sweetest or stupidest cat ever.  I think the sweetest, because she adores Tristan even when he tries to stomp on her.

And my favorite, Dr. Tristan.  I gave him my first stethoscope to play with as a toy, and he figured out how to put the ear pieces in and listen to everything.  Including us and the cat and all of his toys.  His favorite is me and Nick though, because he can actually hear a heartbeat.  It's super cute, he will wear that stethoscope all day long.  Who knows, maybe he is going to be a doctor one day!  Or a dancer, he's pretty good at that too, haha.  

It's going to be really cool for him, in less than a month he will be 2, and in about two months he'll be a big brother.  Lots of stuff happening in this family lately!
