I do realize that Tristan's birthday party was over 10 days ago and that I never came back with an update. I'm a horrible mommy. Being a full-time mom and student is getting to be a little harder than I imagined. Though I just spent the better part of 36 hours reading this blog: Matt Logelin and that makes it seem like I have such a simple job.
Tristan is doing great... he had his 12-month check-up and shots, which broke my heart. He's older now so all the emotions just seem more real. Also, as of 1/27, he moved up to the "big kid" (12-18 mos) room at daycare. He now only takes 1 nap a day, goes to recess, does art activities and is just generally growing up right before my eyes.
On all other fronts, he's doing great. He now has seven teeth (for the most part). He can walk, run, climb and a number of other special maneuvers. He LOVES to read his (huge array of) books and now divides his time between reading, riding his 4-wheeler and sweeping/mopping. He's going to make some girl a wonderful husband some day. ;0)
I'm adding some pictures from his birthday and party, to make up for the belated update.

Tristan had his 9 month well-baby visit today with Dr. Norris. It was his first regular check-up with his new doctor and we really liked her!! She got down in the floor to play with Tristan and talked to him the whole time. He loves her!
As for him... he is at 20.1 lbs, which puts him in the 75th percentile. A little big for his age, but he started out big for his age! haha. He's still only at 27.5 inches, which is about the 25th percentile, so he's a little on the short side, but that's okay. His head circumference is 19 in., which is the 98th percentile. Again, he's always been ahead of the game on that one, lol.
His eyes and ears and everything look great and she was really impressed that he's so active and already walking. She was also surprised that he also says words and knows their meaning, like calling me 'mama' and Brandon 'dada' and not confusing the two.
He didn't get his HIB and flu shots today, they still haven't been able to get his records from his old doctor. But they're going to call as soon as they get them so we can go in and get him caught up.
