11 Months

Wow! I can't believe that Tristan is already 11 months old! Just one more month and he will be 1! The other day, it was the 25th I was thinking back eleven months. I was at home and little did I know that Tristan Jacob Haun would be born the next evening at 8:36 pm. I knew at the time that it would be close but I had pretty much given up hope that I would go to the hospital that night. It turns out that that is just what had happened. It really does not seem like it was that long ago.
Tristan is walking full speed now. He can walk across the room without much of a problem. Sometimes he takes a spill but more often than not he can get to where he is going. I can't believe how fast he has perfected it. Just three weeks ago to the day was when he took his first unassisted step and now he is walking across a room!
He has not said "Mama" since the first time that he said it. I am hoping that he will pick up on it before we come home, but he has perfected "Dada" Robert will be happy about that.
Robert is still doing fine. I have not talked to him in a few days but he is keeping really busy. Which is good for him as it makes the time go by faster.
Well that is all for now. See you all soon.

First Step

The other day Tristan took his first real on his own step! I was so proud of him. In our living room I have our couches set up in a sort of an "L" shape. I was sitting on one of the couches and he was standing up next to the other holding onto it. I told him "Tristan come here" and put out my hands and he took a couple of steps to get to me!
It is kind of funny because Tristan is a very out going baby and always has been. He always tries to do things. It seems that he has no fear at times, but when it comes to him walking on his own he is a little bit timid. He is getting there though. I am sure that he will be walking by the time that we come home in December to see everyone.
If any of you are wondering, the picture above is of Tristan right after he pulled his sock off with his teeth. He is so silly, he does that a lot. He will take it off and then crawl around with it still in his mouth. I always get a good laugh out of him being so funny.

Mama

Tristan has been getting more vocal and is able to make more sounds. Everyday he gets closser to talking. About fourty five minutes ago he got up from his nap. After he was up I got him a snack of apple and strawberry chunks. He ate that up good! After that we got out of the highchair and he was wondering around the living room. He was making all sorts of noises and tried to go to the phone cords without me noticing. "darn she caught me" I told him to come to me and as he was doing so he said "Mama"! I said "Tristan you just said Mama!" He finally said it! He has been saying "Dada" for months so this was really exciting for me!
