Tristan's Story

It's amazing what a difference a baby can make. I know it's cliche, but he is such a joy and brings so much light into our everyday lives.

Today, he watched me hide a toy in the laundry hamper and not only did he pull himself up to standing, but he he then reached for the lid to try to get inside so he could retrieve his lost toy. He's so smart!

Then this evening when his dad came home from work, he was playing with my cell phone while we caught up on our day. Brandon's phone started ringing, so he handed me the baby and then started laughing - his caller ID said that *I* was calling. Tristan had called his dad on my cell phone! It was an accident, of course, but he was so excited to hear his dad on the other end! ;)

He also learned how to open the kitchen cabinets today, so it's off to the store I go and the baby-proofing officially begins!
