August

 

It feels like August came and went, just like that! Our baby boy is officially 2, and it is completely bitter sweet! He talks A TON now, and is getting more and more clear, PLUS mom and dad are pretty fluent in toddler now! Dad wins the award this month for figuring out the hardest word yet,  it was "calculator" Tripp was actually saying it really well, but we just really didn't even clue in that he was, in fact talking about a calculator!  Other than lots of talking and learning new things and new words (some good and some bad) not too much "new" stuff has been happening. But here is our summary, with pictures, for the month!

 

Tripp still loves to "accessorize" with headbands, bracelets (hair ties), sunglasses and pretty much anything else that looks cool!

This was at the doctors office for Tripp's 2 year appointment, again he has all the necessary accessories, including his comb.  His appointment went really well, he had a current allergy test and all of his food allergies are going down, except wheat, wheat took a decent jump in the wrong direction, but all the others have gone down, nothing drastic, but the fact they are going down, is definitely a good sign! His highest food allergy is now eggs, it used to be milk, but milk has now dropped below eggs, and corn is ALMOST completely gone!  Tripp has an appointment with an allergist on September 12th, our pediatrician wants an allergist involved in Tripp's care due to the fact that Tripp has had an anaphylactic reaction. So hopefully the allergist can be helpful and maybe teach us something new about allergies!

Tripp digging in Gayle's pantry, he takes after his daddy, has to investigate anywhere there is food!  Jon usually goes for fridges though!

Tripp playing with Maggie, Gayle's dog.  Tripp started saying her name this month, it is pretty funny he really accentuates the GIE part... he say's Ma-GEE!

Tripp got a Mr. Potato head, he thinks it is pretty cool, but he REALLY loves Mr. Potato Heads glasses!

Watching T.V. with Mr. Potato Heads glasses.

Playing with his cowboy boots, he wore them everywhere this day, everyone we ran into thought it was pretty awesome! He just needs  cowboy hat now!

Tripp, right after dad did his hair, with gel, Tripp decided it wasn't good enough and fixed it his way....

Ready to go to the spash pad!

I am THIS big!

At the splash pad, Tripp is in the center of the photo, he was walking around the entire park scoping it out before he decided if he was actually going to get in the water or not.

Mom's diaper changing skills are questionable.

Tripp wears sunglass inside a lot, so we have renamed him "Usher" when he does this.

Talking on the phone.  Tripp LOVES to talk on the phone! He acts like his daddy and wonders off though, so we usually have to follow him if we want the phone back.  

Just checking to see if we can still fit in this... NOPE.

Cheeser!

Gotta eat lunch WITH sunglasses!

Another picture of how Tripp does his own hair, right after someone else does it the "wrong" way.

He's just so cute!!!!

I don't know if he was hiding behind the chair or what, he was watching Toy Story 2, and this was his "seat" of choice.

Creative little mind. Created his own T.V. tray.

Racing his car and truck!

Tripp was so excited when we found this "Cars" shirt in the bag of old clothes from Laura, Scott, Beck and Owen.  He LOVES cars! One of his new words is "CACHOW"

We traded Tripp in for a duck!

Watching Football with daddy! Proud daddy, Tripp LOVES to watch football!

Tripp decided he needed mittens this day, so he used his socks.

Tripp had to show Mando the dinosaur house, and they got to sit on a baby T-Rex!

Aunt Mando lets Tripp ride in the cool cart at the grocery store!

Lil Stud!

Mom, you have NO proof I made this mess!

Monkey is ready for dinner.  Monkey is still is best little buddy!

We seem to be having more and more run ins with the kitchen table lately. Must be that perfect height right now.  Mom is using this as leverage to try to get a new kitchen table.... working? Maybe?

Tripp telling Louie "cheese".  Yes we have the most patient old dog EVER! Such a good boy.

Well that is it for August!  Come back next month!!!
