Today Triptyn has discovered he can scream...and he does it often...and loud. When he's playing with his toys, he screams loudly. If he's having a really good time and very happy, he screams louder. But if he is angry, he screams loudest. (i don't even know if that's a word, it looks funny...oh well) Let's just say he's either been very happy or very angry today.
So can i just tell you......today i have a headache.
Triptyn had his 6 month well check today. He also had to get shots, I just hate that! He has done pretty well in the past, but today....not so much. It all started when he saw the pediatrician. He's already getting to that stage where he doesn't like people he doesn't know, so let's just say he wasn't very good during the whole visit.
* He weighs 15 lbs. 14 oz. (20th percentile)
* He is 26 1/2 in. long (50th percentile)
* Head circumference is 43.5 cm (40th percentile)
I can't believe how fast time has gone. The doctor gave me the go ahead on baby food, juices, cereal, etc. He also said Triptyn should be sleeping through the night, which he's not. So I asked if he had any suggestions. He said to just let him cry it out. :( So that's what I'll be doing for the next few nights. Wish me luck! On a happier note, here's a look at Triptyn -- 6 months old:
* Sitting up
* Jabbering ALL the time!
* Grabbing for EVERYTHING
* Putting everything he grabs in his mouth
* Eats cereal once a day
* Nurses or has a bottle every 3 1/2 to 4 hours
* Smiles and laughs all the time (especially at Daddy)
* Has only rolled over once...but we're working on that
* Hates being on his tummy
* Is a little momma's boy :)
That's about all I can think of right now. He's so much fun and we love having him as part of our family! Last Friday he also had his 6 month pictures taken! So far I love them! Caralee does an amazing job.
So, Triptyn is six months old on Sunday....and guess what?! His room is officially complete! Haha, I bought these letters for his name as soon as we decided on a name -- just barely finished them last week and hung them up today! I bought the vinyl lettering before the letters. Don't ask me why it took me so long to do them, they were super easy. I guess I just needed to be in the mood!
And my post wouldn't be complete without a picture of the handsome guy himself! Love him!
is to be more thrifty, particularly in my grocery shopping. I just started clipping coupons on Saturday. I'm hoping that some of you might have some tips or suggestions on how to go about this!! Looking back at 2009, I feel like we wasted soo much money that we could've been saving. So here are a few things I'm going to do, but PLEASE leave me comments on the things you do to save money!
-I've decided to purchase the Wednesday and Sunday papers for a couple weeks, to see if it's worth the subscription for the coupons inside
-I'm going to print coupons from the internet
-Instead of my usual trip to the grocery store to buy everything all at once, I'm going to try to shop the sales
So far, that's all my ideas! I really need some help with this! Oh, and I also want to try and cook more at home (I'm terrible at this) so if you have any recipes you'd like to share....feel free!
