He's still on the small end (10th percentile for ht & 40th percentile for wt), but he's so much bigger to us! I notice the difference in his arms & legs the most... and in his hair! His hair isn't as red as it was when he was born - mostly a dark blonde now (with a tint of Auburn). And his "bald spot" on the back finally grew back in! He's got a nice new set of thick baby hair now.
Tristan's arms have grown so much this summer and he can reach anything these days (starting to get daddy's long arms)!! He's now rolling over both ways and can roll and scoot his way just about anywhere. He discovered his feet a few weeks ago, and then quickly figured out how to get his hinney up & flip over to his belly. Ever since then - he's mobile!! He's really good at scooting backwards & rolling sideways, but hasn't figured out forward yet! The world is his playground. He's got about a 5 foot floor span to navigate; so, we always have pillows and blankets set up to keep him confined to a safe space. He's working on getting on his knees to crawl - not sure if mom & dad are ready for that yet! He also jibber-jabbers a ton, started solid foods last week, walks around & pulls himself up with a little help, & he loves to do his baby sit-ups. He constantly does his little baby-crunch when you lay him down. He wants to sit up SO bad... it's very cute, and building great muscles. The boy has his own little baby 2-pack! Hmm... maybe I should try that.
Here's a pic of him eating solids with Daddy for the first time last Friday. Stuart is so excited - and has WAY too much fun laughing while Tristan tries to eat with the spoon. Apparently it's the best show in town!
Just keep trying daddy!
Until next time...
