8 months

Well another month has just flown right on by! 8 months old little Truskie is now! He doesn't have too many new tricks, he's still a very serious kid, he'll stare you down all day long and not even flinch! But he's definitely a goof ball around us and especially around bedtime he really gets going. He's mastered crawling and now working on getting stable on his feet... he's taken a few headers into the empty bathtub and his toy box but really handles it like a champ. He's still not sure about food much thicker than a puree but other than lamb and now avocados he pretty much eats anything I give him the latest being green beans and whole wheat pasta which he loves! No teeth yet, there's one little trouble maker on the bottom right that I think is going to pop threw any day now but I feel like I've been saying that for weeks. He's still pretty stubborn about naps, mainly the morning one, I think he thinks he'll miss something exciting... but we're finally getting into more of a routine with the afternoon nap at least. Every minute with this boy is such a joy, he makes me smile and laugh every time I look at him! And he's just really easy going, every time I think Mason and Waylon are torturing him he usually just starts smiling or laughing, they carry him around (with supervision...mostly) and he doesn't care, is just along for the ride!




Loves being tickled!

The BFF comes to town!

The wait was finally over, I got to spend some real life (not facetime or text time) with the one person who knows all my crazy quirks and awkwardness and still loves me :) We picked the Smiths up from the airport on a Wednesday and were able to just relax and catch up and watch the kids play a little that day and we also got in a really nice beach day and of course Lake Tahoe Pizza Co. And got to go out with just the 4 of us to the classic and delicious La Ferme! Then I had to share them for a few days with their family in northern CA but dont worry, they returned and we got to spend another dayish together, we threw a dinner get together for them so others could come and see them! It of course went by way too fast, I can't believe they're already gone, but I guess you could say distance truly does make the heart grow fonder! Love them and can't wait until we meet again!


































until next time...

Rylan turns 4

A couple weeks ago we went up to reno to help Rylan celebrate his 4th birthday! It seems like just yesterday we were sitting in a tiny hospital room waiting for this little guy to come out...48 hours later! I can't believe it's been 4 years! The boys sent him a birthday shout out video and they were cracking me up "We're you cousins!!!" So funny. Anyway, so we got to swim around in Mary's apartment pool and have some spider man cake.


Ed was very concerned about his shriveled hands









Little Explorer


This little guy is very busy these days! At about 7 1/2 months he was in full crawl mode! At first he was pretty happy just hanging out by his toys and just being able to move around a little but now he's not happy unless he has the whole house to freely roam, which means my life has gotten very busy! And not only is he crawling everywhere but he pulls him self up on anything he can and thinks he's pretty big stuff.
