As per tradition, Tristan and Gunner each got to open a gift tonight. Tristan liked Gunner's best, so he stole it for a while until we managed to get it back. Then Tristan realized he really loves his new puzzle - and Gunner carried his new toy around all night to make sure that Tristan didn't get it again!

We took Tristan to see the Canton fireworks show last night to celebrate his first-ever Fourth of July. While we were waiting for the show to start, he held on to his blankie and loved just watching all the people go by. He climbed all over us so he could see what all he could see. ;0)
When he heard that first boom, he jumped... but then he looked up at the sky and his eyes just lit up. He was so mesmerized by all the bright colors. He really enjoyed them for several minutes, but then the noise started hurting his ears and he wouldn't let us cover them for him. He got a little fussy, but by that time, the wind had shifted and debris was falling right on us, so we all got back in the car. We watched the rest of the show from there and he was craning his neck to see the fireworks through the window. =)

Today, I woke up to a smiling baby and my wonderful husband. The boys gave me really sweet cards plus a lovely black & white diamond bracelet. I love it!!
My mom and godmother gave me some spending money plus a Boyd's Bear baby figurine.
We got dressed and took Tristan and Gunner to the lake for a little family time. It was fun, but hot, and I got sunburned. Brandon & I went grocery shopping for a while, then we took Tristan to see his Gma Gwen for Mother's Day.
**While we were there, Tristan rolled over for the first time!! He went from front to back and couldn't figure it out in the other direction, but still that was quite a milestone!!
Tonight, Brandon and I cooked dinner together and the baby is already fast asleep.
I can't believe that my little one is getting so big so fast... but I'm so proud of him for figuring out how to roll over! :)

I'm a day late, Easter was yesterday. But we had a pretty busy day and got home late, so please forgive me. :0)
In case you can't tell, that's a race car basket with Cars plastic eggs, a "My 1st Easter" stuffed bunny, a book, a "Chicks Dig Me" onesie, a duck wrist rattle, and a plastic ball. Plus, a card, of course, for his scrapbook. ;0)
After he got his goodies, we loaded up and drove to Bedford for Easter lunch at Aunt Monica's house. Also there were Uncle Todd, Aunt Libby & Uncle Roy, Stefany & Specer with Mallorie and Makenzie, Grandpa & Melissa, G-Gma, and TJ. It was nice for Tristan to finally get to meet his extended family! There was an Easter egg hunt, plus GGma gave him a big stuffed rabbit, and Aunt M had a cozy blanket and some burp cloths. Thanks everyone!
That evening, we stopped at Aunt Lori and Uncle Steve's house to visit. Tristan just loves to play with his cousin, Ashley. They had already given him his Easter gift -a cute stuffed duck that makes noises. We had Easter dinner there, and got in lots of play time and then headed home.
Tristan was exhausted and easily slept all night once he got settled in!
Here are a couple of pics from our time at Aunt Lori's house:

Tristan is one month old today! It was also his first holiday (Valentine's Day!) so here are some pictures to commemorate the special day :0)
