santa pics and new surprise trick!

ho ho ho....

grinch grinch grinch.
looking happier, sort of... well, cuter anyway.

not too sure about that beard, santa... and arent you supposed to be wearing a hat??
ok, seriously. the beard is freaking me out. get me OUT of here.
immediately after the "santa incident" - on the way to the car. trying to get the smile back!
this is more like it - fun at the track meet!!
and tj's newest trick - omg he's pre-walking. bought that booster seat today, put the box on the floor for him to play with, and boom he just started walking around with it. ??!!

dawning of a brand new TJ...

the last 3 days we tried something new... putting him to bed at 8:30. short version: first nite, he cried for 2 hours. :( sad tj. second nite, he cried for about 30 min. last nite, he didnt cry at all, was asleep by 9, and slept til 8:30 this morning!! YAY TJ!!!



crawling and standing

what a big boy!!! on one hand exciting, on the other, STOP GROWING SO FAST!!!
this is his very first time standing up in his bed - i looked over and YIKES time to put the mattress down!! he even took a few little cruiser steps.
he's been pre-crawling for a while, sort of a "crawl crawl bellyflop legkick crawl crawl bellyflop legkick" kind of thing, looked like "the worm" from the 80's... but now he's really crawling with tummy off the floor, all the way across the room. i had to roll his pantlegs up cuz he kept slipping on the hard floor!! his poor little knees... he needs some kneepads.

jabbering up a storm ;)

more video to come of his jabbering... he "says" other stuff! but the timing has to be right (ie he says baba, but only when he wants his bottle! and "mmmmmo" but only when hes nursing...more??!) i SWEAR im not imagining it!!

5 month pics and a new trick!

aw, so cuddly cute in his bunting :)
his newest trick: he can now go from tummy to sitting up all by himself!!! he's so excited... he does crash a little at the end but he was fine :) haha he's pretty tough about stuff like that. its sleeping he screams about.

4.5ish months/18-20wks

cuddling with grammy
playing with the popup thing (i'll post video of this too!!)
sitting up all by himself!!
expensive taste... dream away, kid.
obsessed!!! loves that corvette...
GO BUCKS!!!

rocking in the little chair
he's right around 15lbs now... he had been sleeping through the nite like a champ for about 3 weeks, and has now reverted to getting up several times... hopefully this is a short lived phase and he'll be back to sleeping the nite again soon. hes trying to learn lots of new skills, which is probably why hes up a lot and needing to eat a lot. and needs mama a lot!! ;)
we've been to 3 more football games, and he LOVES them!! and he loves his ergobaby carrier, sometimes i have to carry him in it ALL day long because its the only place he's happy. but he's starting to get better (and less frustrated as he gets to be more mobile - he's precrawling) about entertaining himself - he likes the exersaucer and his arch with the toys dangling from it, especially the inflatible ball with the little ball inside. it drives him CRAZY!!!

4 months old!!

cousin kelsey bonking him in the head with his binky (one of my favorite pics!!)
cousin logan (one month older, born 4/7) trying to get tavin to check out his toes
tavin however is happy with his own toes
and the newest way to calm tavin: FHS football game!! he had a great time, looking around and checking everything out... then fell asleep for this FHS touchdown!
in his sunhat, ready for the pool!!
wow, time is going really fast. he's sleeping the night FINALLY, and is MUCH less fussy now that he's a BIG boy!! haha ;) he also just seemed to gain a noticable amount of weight overnight! we'll weigh him tomorrow on the postal scale!
heres a video of one of his many new tricks: he is very deliberate about it. i should get better footage of it.

the crib, finally!!!


but in our room for now

bookcases from Grampa Tom & Darleen

the queen bed is still in here, and his crib is built but in our room for now. the bassinet is in here for naps. will likely stay like this til he's sleeping through the night consistantly, which is NOT right now!! :P

what is IN this teddy bear??

twice now he has grabbed it, put it over his face, and fallen asleep within 30 seconds of it being there. wondering if this is some kind of genetic thing, needing the "cave of darkness" to sleep in, and the teddy bear covering his eyes is like the underwear blocking out the sun?! grampy?!?!
