All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

Trip has been working on getting his 2nd bottom tooth for a few days and it finally showed up this morning. He's growing up so fast!

What about Buzz? He's a sweet potato!

Somebody likes sweet potatoes.

Life lately

We’re still here. We’ve been busy trying to figure out how to balance being parents with the rest of life’s demands.
I love being a wife and a mom. I still can’t figure out how to get everything together though. I’m constantly late. (Ok, I’ve been late my whole life… I’m now even later.) I find myself wearing outfits that I probably wouldn’t have worn before. I’m not talking about “mom jeans.” I’ve just become a little less picky in my wardrobe and have been forced to just put on anything clean that fits. And my concept of matching has become a little broader. It’s a little freeing. I feel more artsy… or so I keep telling myself.
The other morning was really cold so I had to pull out my scarf and gloves. Well, I actually could only find one glove. And I was running late so I ended up just wearing the one glove… on my left hand… just like MJ… and it was cream… which is kind of similar to white… just like MJ. See, I am more artsy!

Trip is growing so fast! I can’t believe he’s already 5 months old! He got his first tooth last week and has started eating some solid food. He’s tried cereal and squash so far. He doesn’t seem too crazy about either one. I can’t say that I blame him.
He is a very happy baby and he loves to laugh and squeal. He does have a little bit of a temper when he gets hungry or tired. He seems to be pretty smart too. He’s already said, “Oahu” and “blue.” Ok, maybe it just sounded like he said those words. :) We’ll wait a little bit before we contact Mensa.

I’ll post some pictures of him sometime soon. We think he’s really cute.
