Tristan's Trying to Crawl

Tristan's been making some huge leaps lately. He's definitely a force to be reckoned with now. He's not technically crawling, but he scoots and low crawls really well. He can successfully get to anything on the floor already. Once he's mobile he's going to be GONE!! I can just tell. Luckily Noah's always right there and is the caring big brother type. I tried to upload the video, but I guess after the bike video it crapped out. Once again it's on the scrapbook site.

Tristan's also entered into the really frustrated baby stage. He wants to do so much, but he just can't. I've had to find more interesting things for him to experience to help keep him happy. Today we played in the kitchen sink for no particular reason. I was surprised at how stable he was sitting in there!

Ahh that is so cute. Matthew was slow to crawl and walk, but it was as like as soon as he got walking down...He ran. He is a runner and he is gone. No hesitation, he just goes. He out runs me for about 10 feet, which is scary. :)

Holy crap!!! That is crazy!!!!!

That is more then scooting, he is up on his hands and knees! He will be crawling all over the place before he even turns 6 months. That is amazing. Ava crawled at 6 &1/2 months and that was early compared to other kids.....5 & 1/2 months is really early....ok I'm done now,lol. I am just amazed at how strong he is already!!

I love the picture of Noah bathing Tristan. Ava loved the video and kept saying "Baby Tristan!....Baby brother!"

I kept explaining that he is Noah's baby brother....haha. Her response is "Ava's Tristan!" I guess she likes him :)

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE. We happen to be surrounded by water. The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between. Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights. We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right? Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace. I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that. I at least want a gas stove and water heater! So, anyways. We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober! YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn. Whoops. It was fun though. OK so here's where we began our journey. You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant). All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery. We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path. The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating. I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places. There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees. We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
