Tristan, Month Three Newsletter

Dear Tristan,

Wow, three months old! And what a month this has been. I can’t believe how quickly you grow. This month has been really fun because you’re starting to turn into more of your own person. You smile more, and you have started to laugh. Oh how I love your laughs!

Your favorite source of amusement seems to be the cats. And man do they love you! At the beginning of the month we adopted Milo, a 5 month old kitten. After Rowan went missing we thought Chloe could use a companion so that she would quit trying to use you for her play toy. As it turns out, Milo plays with you more than Chloe ever did, so that plan kind of back fired. They are so gentle though and just like snuggle next to you while you play with your floor gym. Milo’s favorite time is when we’re nursing and he can curl up on the pillow beside you. You don’t seem to mind having a warm fuzzy kitty purring next to you either.

You developed a UTI this past month which was pretty stressful on me and your daddy. I was so worried about your health, but nothing seems to faze you. You were still your bright and happy self through it all, despite numerous doctors appointments and being poke and prodded. Hopefully you’re all better now J

Despite the infection you are still growing like a weed. Who needs to work out when I am carrying you around all day? I think I’m stronger than ever! You love to be held up in the air and bounced around. Anything that will give you a better view of what’s going on is all good in your books. You are so curious now, it’s rare to see you looking in one direction for longer than a split second. There is so much to take in and you don’t want to miss anything!

Last week you came with me to Fernie to visit your Auntie Naomi. I was a little nervous about how you would react to her puppies, but it was love at first sight. Mischa licked your face and your toes and you squealed and giggled your delight, so I guess no reason to worry! Your Auntie Naomi thought you were the cutest baby in the whole world.
We ended up cutting our trip a little short because you have started teething and were not in your most charming of moods. You are such a good boy in the car though and slept almost all the way home.

Since you are growing so fast and are so curious about your surroundings, Daddy and I bought you an activity center with lots of fun toys to play with. I am amazed at all you are able to do with it! You grasp at the blocks, and have fun hitting the buttons to make the kitty “meow” and the cow “moo”, you are so much fun to play with now!

I hate to rush you along, but it is just so fun to see you learn and grasp new things. I cherish each day with you because it is always a new adventure. You seem to get more beautiful with each passing week. How lucky we are!

Love Momma
