4 Months

Yesterday was Triptyn's 4 month well check with his pediatrician. He weighs 14 lbs. 8 oz. (50th percentile) and he's 24 7/8 in. long (also 50th percentile). The doc said he is looking great! He's healthy and getting big sooo fast. Too fast if you ask me, not fast enough if you ask his dad. :) He also had to get another set of shots. He did amazing, he only cried for about 10 seconds. Tough like his Daddy! Here's a cute picture of little Trippy with bandaids on both legs! :)

Thought I would include this cute pic, he's always sleeping with one of his hands on his face. This time his finger was actually poking his eye.....doesn't seem very comfortable to me?!

After I ate breakfast on Sunday morning, I came in to the bedroom to this:

Gosh, I love these two boys sooo much!!!

Look.....No Hair!!!

Bath Time

Today was Triptyn's first bath in the BIG bathtub! At first, he wasn't quite sure what to do...he just laid there. But then he realized he could move around and he loved it! Here's a video, it's kind of long, so you don't have to watch the whole thing, but I just loved watching him splash around. tThe video doesn't do it justice because he stopped splashing as much as soon as he saw the camera :(

The Cutest Monkey EVER!!!

We had a great Halloween this year! Triptyn went to visit all the family, so they could see him in his cute monkey costume. He was definetly happy to get out of it though!

I just had to post this picture.....this is the reaction I get when I put Triptyn on his stomach! He does not like it at all!!

Carving Pumpkins and Happy Birthday to Chase!

Carving Pumpkins

.......... Triptyn really likes his fist these days.........


The Pumpkins

Yesterday was Chase's 11th Birthday (gosh, that makes me feel old). Angie took the day off, so I went down on Wednesday night with my parents because Ang has been dying to see Triptyn. It was a quick trip but always worth it! Triptyn didn't want to miss any of the action while we were there, so he didn't sleep very much. He fell alseep long enough for me to eat dinner!

Then it was time for Chase to open his presents.

Triptyn woke up in time for the party

I'm so glad we were able to be there for your birthday Chase!

We love you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Where does time go?!?!

Oh my, I don't know where time goes these days! I feel like I'm so busy, yet I don't get much done!! :) Well, for some reason I'd been dying to go miniature golfing.....so we went one Monday night for FHE a couple weeks ago. It was tons of fun and I almost beat Mike!

Before the snow flies, Triptyn had to ride his 50! It was a little chilly outside so we dressed him nice 'n' warm and he went for a ride with Daddy! I'm not exactly sure he liked it....wait, of course he did, he's a Holst, right?! Well he didn't cry, so that's good.

Let's see, after that comes the Pumpkin Patch..........we've gone there every year to pick our own pumpkins! Here's Mike and Triptyn on our way into the patch. Can't you just see the anticipation on their faces?! They were pretty excited.

There were rows and rows of pumpkins! On the other side of the road were even more pumpkins. If it wasn't soo cold, I could've been there for hours searching for the perfect pumpkin...........

But it was cold, so we pretty much grabbed the first good one we saw, took a few pictures and then went to enjoy some hot chocolate and donut holes!

More pictures to come after we carve our pumpkins next week! (we didn't want to carve them too soon so they wouldn't get all wrinkly)

Triptyn's First Haircut

On Friday, Sept. 25, at only 10 weeks old--Triptyn had to get his first haircut! His hair was getting was too long, so I took him to a lady in my mom's ward who offered to do it and she wouldn't charge me. For those of you who know me, there is no way I could attempt to do this myself. I once cut Mike's hair, and it was bad. We had to buzz it really short to make it look better. :) Anyways, here are some pictures of my handsome little man. I LOVE that she even put a little cape on him! So cute. And sorry for all the pictures, but I couldn't choose which ones to use--so I used them all! Notice how long his hair is in this first picture.

All Done!!! He sat there sooo good the whole time, didn't make one peep. I'm thinking it's because he LOVES it when anyone brushes, washes, or plays with his hair. And, of course, we had to style it when we got home!!

Haha, I love this picture! It's like he's thinking, what the heck did you guys just do to my hair?!
