Happy boy as usual!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, hope you all had a great holiday. We celebrated with our friends Brad and Emily since we couldn't make it back to OK/TX and we had a great time. They have a newborn too, their daughter Charlee is 5 weeks old. Here are a couple pictures of Tripp and Charlee on their first Thanksgiving. There is also one of Tripp and Blake watching football... the other Turkey Day tradition :) Also.... Happy Birthday Aunt Tessa!!!!!!!!!

Nana, Pop, Uncle Brett, and Megan in town...

Over this past weekend, Pop, Uncle Brett, and Brett's girlfriend, Megan, came to visit. The boys went to the Cowboy/Packer game on Sunday and everyone got to spend some time with Tripp. Everyone left on Monday and we were sad to see them go. Here are a few pics of all the fun!

Mimi's 50th Birthday

Over this past weekend, Tripp and I went to Oklahoma for Mimi's 50th birthday. He did really well on the flight and slept most of time. While we were in Oklahoma, he got to see some family again and meet some that he hadn't met yet. We had such a great time and it was so nice to be there and see everyone. Here are a few pictures from our visit

Halloween Week with Aunt Nikki in town

Last week was so much fun! Nana is still in town and Aunt Nikki came to visit for the week. Nana, Nikki, and Tripp were going all week... they took a road trip to Wisconsin, another trip to the apple orchard, and did lots of shopping. On top of all that, we had such a blast with Halloween - Tripp was the cutest dinosaur in town! He had so much fun trick-or-treating at Dad's work on Friday and then passing out candy on Saturday. Here are a few pictures from the busy week...

Baby Einstein's Biggest Fan

Tripp has been staying with his Nana for the past several weeks during the day and the two of them have found something new to keep him entertained. He LOVES Baby Einstein!! We got out his bouncer a couple weeks ago and have started showing him the DVD's from time to time. We have also learned that the CD's come in very handy for a long car ride when he loses his paci and starts to panic a little... yes, we are those parents already - driving down the highway singing lullabies when we were swearing just a few month ago that we would NEVER do that. Funny how things change, isn't it?

Weekend with Nana & Pop

Over this past weekend, Pop came up to see us and spend some time with Tripp. While he was here, he and Nana took Tripp back to the apple orchard and had some fun.

Bathtime

Believe it or not, Tripp went through all 4 stages of his 4 stage infant bath in just 11 short weeks. For a week now, he's been bathing in the big boy bathtub and he LOVES it!! He's starting to play a little more and is really enjoying his bathtime so far.

Favorite New Gadget

So we realized this week that Tripp can now sit in the bumbo and it has become our favorite new gadget! He loves to hang out with us in it no matter what were doing... cooking dinner in the kitchen, watching TV in the living room, or even in the mornings when were getting ready for work if he's awake. Here are a few pictures of him Thursday morning sitting on the vanity with Mom while she was getting ready for work. He was in such a good mood - we were having tons of fun!

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we made our first trip to Edward's Apple Orchard. We picked our own raspberries and a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch to get in the fall spirit. Tripp had a great time and loved being outside.

First Full Week of Daycare

Last week was Tripp's first full week of Daycare. He stayed with Emily all week and the two of them got to know one another a little before Emily welcomes her little girl Charlee sometime in the next few weeks. Since Charlee could be here anytime, Nana Thomas is now in town to stay with the little guy for the time being. Here are a few pictures of Tripp playing at daycare...

Big Boy!

Tripp went to the doctor on Tuesday for his 2 month appointment. He measured 23 1/2 inches and weighed 15lbs 11oz putting him in the 99th percentile! We were so shocked... we knew he was big, but didn't realize how big! He also had to get his first round of shots which he wasn't too excited about, but he was over it in no time.

First Week Without Mom

It was back to work for me this week so Mimi and Aunt Tessa came up to stay with Tripp the first part of the week to make the adjustment a little easier on both of us. It was so nice to have them in town and we all enjoyed it. It was a rough week for me leaving the little guy, but of course he gave me something to smile about all day :)

Weekend with Papa Roy and Cousin Maci

Papa Roy and Cousin Maci came to visit us over the Labor Day weekend. We had a great time while they were in town and they both got to spend some quality time with our little man. Here are a few pictures from the weekend...

College Football Kickoff

Tripp celebrated his first college football weekend with both Mom and Dad's alma maters. We watched a UNT game on Thursday (yes, it was televised) and an OU game on Saturday (I know... a horrible first impression of the crimson & cream but we're hoping he won't remember the loss)

Boomer Sooner!!

Caw Caw!!

Cookout at the Stockton's

This weekend we went to a cookout at our friends Dana & Michael's house and introduced Tripp to some of our friends for the first time. Everyone passed him around and took their turn saying hello - he was quite the hit! He was very good the entire evening and slept pretty much the entire time dispite everyone loving on him. He did wake up to eat once and say hello so we were able to get a picture. This is Tripp and our good friend Emily who will be watching him when I'm back to work in a couple of weeks.

Weekend With Uncle Brett

Uncle Brett came to visit us from Texas this weekend and met little Tripp for the first time. We had a great weekend with him in town and we think he may have liked the little guy just a little :) Here are a couple of pics from the weekend.

Playtime with Dad

Time flies! It seems like we just brought Tripp home from the hospital and now he's already 4 weeks old. With every new day, he seems to be more alert and is staying awake more and more. We're also noticing him making faces and focusing on our faces when we talk to him. We're both so anxious to hear him coo for the first time... I guess any noise besides a cry or scream would be nice :) Tripp is starting to play with some of his toys too since some bright colors and moving objects seem to be holding his attention. Here are a few pics of his most recent playtime with dad.
