Tristan...

...is FINALLY going from a tummy position to a sitting position! :)

Okay, a little background on that since you are probably asking "isn't he 13 months old?!" So we moved the end of February into a new house in Montana. The house has all hardwood floors on the main level and so Tristan was not on his belly much. He would just scream! (Think cold Montana winter and hardwood floors!) So he mastered scooting around on his butt and was doing just fine. We got some area rugs but he still did not like being on his tummy. I talked to the pediatrician and she said that since that was the only delay he had, she was not concerned. She did say to force time on his tummy even if he screamed and if there was no improvement in 3-4 weeks, call for a follow-up appointment. Well, he was making progress. About 2 weeks ago, he started army crawling all over the place. He tries to get on his knees but does not really crawl. Well, yesterday, I went into his room to get him up for the day and he was sitting on his butt! I made a big deal over it to encourage him. All day he kept it up, going from tummy to butt to tummy to butt. YAY! This is great progress! Now we can start to work on walking.

Now for Emilia...We are leaving tomorrow for my parent's house in California. My sister is getting married on Saturday and we are heading out for that. Well, Emilia has caught on that we are going to "Oma's house" and is SO excited about it! Whenever we get into the car, she asks "Go Oma's ow-ssss?" I hope the drive is not too long for her! It is going to take us about 18 hours to get there. She keeps telling her baby doll, Grace Grace, and her stuffed animal, Lamby, that we are going to Oma's. She is so sweet!
