Do you think they look the same?

James and I are debating about this. Do you think Tristan and JR look alike? Here are pictures from ~3 months of both with big smiles. Comment and let us know what you think.

JR's first sleepover

JR had his first sleepover at a friends house on Friday night. His friend from across the street invited him over for a sleepover. It was the perfect first sleepover. If there were any issues, no problem just walk him across the street and he's home. But all went well. He ate dinner over there, and then brought a tent which they set up in Russell's room, then they got in thier PJ's and read some stories and got in the tent with their flashlights. Russell's mom said they stayed up past nine talking until JR finally told Russell to be quiet. Hee hee, that's my boy! They didn't wake up til after 7AM and then enjoyed a pancake breakfast. We picked JR up at 9:30. He had a blast. We'll have to try our house next time. Later that morning we went to watch the Picnic Day parade in the rain. Not as fun as the sleep over, but quite adventurous.

Happy Easter

Easter is JR's favorite holiday. He says he likes the hunting and candy best. We did our hunt at home and then went to my sister Cassie's house for lunch. We had a wonderful time there. Cassie got JR an Easter bag there and JR's cousins hid eggs for him to find. My mom and my other sister, Sonia, and her kids came over so JR got to play with all of his cousins. We had a family baseball game and JR did so well at batting, hitting the ball within 3-4 pitches, and his cousins helped direct him to the bases. The family was so great with JR. Everyone played with him - cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandma. Tristan got to meet his auntie Sonia and cousins and Nanny for the first time. He got passed around several time and slept and spit up on many shoulders. He seemed to enjoy himself and flashed a couple smiles at the relatives.

JR is so organized, he had to line up all his eggs and count them. There were 18.

JR was so good at hitting in the baseball game. And his cousins were so good at helping him too. It was a fun game.

Two Months Old

Tristan will be two months old tomorrow! Time is just flying by. We went for his two month check up yesterday and he is 12 lbs and 24 inches long. He is doing really well. He has been drooling a lot and likes to chew on our fingers, but the Dr. said she couldn't tell if teeth were coming in. I'm really hoping they are not, but I don't really want a drooly kid either. Tristan also got his first set of shots yesterday. He did well and seems to be fine now.

Here is our two month old . . .

It's great to have a big brother

JR has been a great big brother so far. He is so loving with Tristan and always gives him hugs and kisses and is even sharing his toys. The best thing is that he is great at entertaining Tristan, and Tristan LOVES to watch JR play. JR can keep Tristan from fussing while I make dinner just by playing with his toys for Tristan or dancing. It's been a big help and I love to see them bond. I hope they grow up to be great pals. Here's a video of JR entertaining Tristan.

The poopy face

One month olds don't do a whole lot - they eat, sleep, cry, pee and poop. That leaves very little to post about. And as most parents will be able to relate, people with very young children discuss pooping a lot. So I give you the poopy face. Tristan makes a cute little face when he poops where he makes his mouth really small and has a serious look on his face. This is usually followed by a smile when he is done. All of this helps with timing of the diaper changes. I didn't catch the smile, but here is a picture for you.

JR's haircut

JR finally got his shaggy hair cut. Mimi was so nice to watch the baby while I gave JR a hair cut. She even bought popsicles so we headed out in the backyard and JR ate his popsicle while I cut his hair. This was a great idea because I am slow at cutting hair. JR sat (mostly) still for the whole thing. It's not a perfectly straight cut, but luckily he has curly hair and it's not very noticable. Here is a picture of JR hiding behind the chair because he didn't want me to take a picture of his haircut.

JR the train engineer

JR got a train engineer costume for Christmas from his uncle. Last week we pulled it out and he had a blast with it. He really got into it and gave us tickets for our trip to Hawaii, set his pocket watch, and told us the departure times for our train. He wore it almost all day, even to go play tennis at the park. Isn't he cute?

Mimi came to visit

We had fun with Mimi last week while James was at a conference.

Mimi got to meet Tristan for the first time.

Mimi was so great at playing with JR and helping out while I was busy with the baby.

So much fun with Mimi!
