Friendsgiving 2009

Every year on the weekend before Thanksgiving Aunt Bethany and Uncle Dave host Friendsgiving, it is what it sounds like, Thanksgiving for friends. Dada had to work but Tripp and Mama got to enjoy all the delicious food and fun times, thanks Aunt Bethany and Uncle Dave!!!

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Pillsbury!

We went to Burleson this weekend for Kinsey's after wedding reception. She was married this summer in France and had the reception this weekend for those that could not attend the wedding. On the way there we stopped to see uncle Ricky who met Tripp for the first time
Ricky and Mama go way back...I seriously could not resist posting this hilarious and totally embarrassing photo, haha!

Friday night we went over to Aunt Mayin and Uncle Dan's house for some homemade margaritas, well depending on who was making the batch it was typically just tequila and ice, but we will call them margaritas, and Mexican food. Tripp had a blast watching all the boys playing...

but then I think someone slipped him a sip of their rita...Daddy 2 - Tripp 0

The next night was the reception at Joe T Gracia's in Fort Worth.

My handsome boys...since we were all dressed up Tripp was not in the mood to smile and take family photos

Some of My Favorite “Before I Started the Blog” Pictures…

Grandpa Came to Visit!

And brought lots of goodies, almost all of which were burnt orange, our favorite color!

This is apparently Tripp’s favorite sleeping position…it is magic at bedtime…
That boy LOVES his dada!

Another Reason to Love Dr. Jean

Tripp had his second four month shot appointment today (he gets two shots at a time instead of four so he has to go twice). He weighed 18 lbs 12 ozs and was just about 27 inches long, which explains why I have to buy him 9 month clothing. He took his first shot like a champ, he didn’t even cry, in fact I didn’t even realize she had given it to him, but then came the second shot…this didn’t make him too happy. He was okay with one but two was pushing it…good thing we didn’t opt for four like the other babies get! He fussed for a little while but when we got in the car I popped in some Dr. Jean and by the time his favorite song (okay okay…by the time me and daddy’s favorite song) came on he was out, “My hands on my head, está aquí, this is my cabeza my mamacita….”

Your Name is Tripp, Well Actually it is Kent...

Monkey,

I read the other day on a website that at around 4-5 months you will start responding to your name, this is not the case for you and it isn't your fault. Mama and dada call you monkey - most the time - sometimes I call you baby love bug, and occasionally we actually use your name and call you Tripp (daddy is better at this than mommy). To confuse you just a little bit more Mrs. Elizabeth at daycare calls you Papi (she is Hispanic but I am not real sure what this means or how to actually spell it) and I also hear her call you Kent. Sorry buddy, I promise to work on this before you enter Kindergarten and have to say, "here" when your name is called...
