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?!

2 Months

So Triptyn had his two month check up last week. I can't believe how time flies! He's getting so big. He weighed 11.9 oz. (50th percentile) and he's 23.75 in. long (60th percentile). He also had to get shots, and he did so good. The pediatrician's office has been having problems getting a few of the vaccinations, so he has to go back in a few days to get the rest.....hopefully he will do just as good! He is really good at holding his head up, so I've started to put him in his bumbo to see how he likes it. He's not quite sure about it right now, but I think he'll like it because he doesn't like laying down! We've been having tons of fun the last week or so. Saturday--Mike borrowed his parents Razor and took us to the Sand Dunes. Then the next day we went with my parents and Tyler's family to West Yellowstone to have dinner with my Uncle Dewey and Aunt Marsha. Of course we had to wonder around West and go in all the fun shops. Triptyn got a little onesie for a souvenir. It has a picture of a bear picking his nose and it says "Little Booger". It's totally fitting because we call Triptyn "booger" all the time. On Wednesday, it was back to the Sand Dunes with my brother and his kids to play in the lake and roast hot dogs! Pictures to come soon!

What do YOU think........

Should Triptyn be a MONKEY for Halloween???

This is what I wake up to now.......

Hehe. Triptyn has started pulling the blankets over his head, so this is what I find every time I go to get him out of his craddle!

WARNING: POST OVERLOAD!!!

So I'm playing a little catch up today.......

September 1st meant back to work! I've enjoyed being home for the past 7 weeks and I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't looking forward to going back! My work has been awesome and told me I could bring Triptyn with me to work, so it wasn't quite as bad going back as it could've been.

Here is our first poop leak up the back...happened on the second day back to work. Good thing I've learned my lesson and I take at least two extra outfits with me everywhere we go!

Triptyn's Blessing Day

We decided to bless Triptyn on August 30th. It worked out well since all the family was already here for the wedding. I'm so glad my husband is a worthy priesthood holder and was able to bless Triptyn. He gave such a good blessing and I love him so much!

Here is the handsome little man

I'm so glad my cousin, Courtney, was able to make for the blessing. I didn't think she would be able to make it, so I was very surprised to see her.

Another pic of our handsome little guy. (I'm still having a hard time getting him to smile for the camera!)

After the blessing, we had lunch with both families. It was so much fun to have everyone together! There are only two girls in the family! Rylee on my side, and Teddy on Mike's side. They had fun playing together during lunch.

I guess Triptyn wasn't too excited for the party being thrown for him....he slept the whole time!

The Last Holst Wedding

Mike's older brother Dennis got married on August 29th. It was such a nice day! Dennis and Amber looked so happy, a little nervous, but still happy! I don't blame them, I was definently a little nervous on my wedding day......

The entire Holst Family

This will be the happy couple in a few years......haha

Just the siblings.....

The Cake

Triptyn enjoying his first wedding, he was kind of a little stinker all day..........

Congratulations to Dennis and Amber!!!!

Daddy's First Diaper Change!!!

I was finally able to convince Mike to change a diaper! It took 6 weeks and a lot of bribing!

Triptyn was not quite sure what to think of the whole process as Mike asked "how to work a diaper" and used a whole pile of wipes! :)




I just had to include this picture of Trip taking a nap with Grandpa, he's just so stinkin' cute!!!

Baseball with My Boys

Triptyn got to go to his first baseball game on August 26

Idaho Falls Chukars vs. Ogden Raptors

Dirtbikes and Pizza

A couple weeks ago we decided to go up to Kelly's Canyon again so that I could actually ride my motorbike on some trails rather than a gravel road. It was my first trail ride in over a year! My mom and Ethan came along to keep on eye on Triptyn while I was gone riding with my dad.

Triptyn loves being outside, he slept the whole time! (Unless it was time to eat!)

After we were done riding we decided to stop at Heise and enjoy some yummy pizza!

We even called Mike and he decided to drive up and meet us for dinner.

Our yummy pizza....Mike laughed at me for taking a picture of it.

Of course Triptyn woke up when there was food around. :)
