This and That.

Hiya.  Tripp had a pretty good day today.  He was a little moody this morning when he got up and it seemed like his eye was bothering him a good bit, but then he took a good 2 hour nap rocking on MeMe and when he woke up he felt much better.  I think he actually sat up on his mat and played for about an hour kicking his feet and watching Mickey (without reaching up for me to hold him every time I walked by.  What a good kid.  He is such a great baby.

For about the past 2 weeks, Tripp has started figuring out what "bath" means.  He gets the "vibe" when I'm getting everything ready for dressing change (which is a HUGE process and I'd like to video one day so you guys can see).  And when you sit him on the table to start taking the dressings off, he immediately breaks down... holding his arms out for me and making the saddest face I've ever seen.  It's really sad.  Then he still HATES the water part (of course) even with salt.  Some days are better then others.  But then when we put him back on the dressing table after we get him out of the tub, he is good.  We let him play naked just for a little while because he jumps and kicks around like crazy.  He loves being naked.  But he is SUCH a good boy for the "putting on the dressings" part.

Still waiting for a few more pics before I post the party ones.  But I wanted to post a few from today and this week that were cute.  He finally started rocking on his baseball rocker by his self!! It's so cute... I've been waiting for him to be able to get on it and actually like it!

Hey Mom, if you put batteries in my ball popper from Christmas, 
it's like a new toy!!




Check out my B-eautiful arms!!


Tripp got this frog from our cousin, Lindy, for his birthday.
I LOVE it!  It's SO soft and SO padded. 
Plus it's super CUTE.


The "G-raffe" MeMe bought him after his shots. 
Think he's rotten? Noooo. 


This is a book my cousins Jackie and Julie bought us for Mother's Day/Tripp's Bday.
It is TOO cute.  It's from Flattenme.com.
And it has my face super-imposed into every page. 
I know Tripp is thinking... "I see this woman every second of the day.. and now she's in my BOOKS?"
Haha. 


And my favorite... 
This is what I wake up to every morning. 
The King.


Learning to rock on Homer.



Love,

  3. i used baking soda in my bath water when I was a kid. I thought it stung much less then salt water and even just plain water. i never measured it out, just dumped some in as the tub was filling up. I just to pop blisters in the bath under the water with the baking soda in it. which i know is hard to do on a wiggly baby!

  5. What a Cutie Pie! Looking forward to seeing birthday pics! I have been reading your blog for a few months now, and read some of the archived posts also. You are an amazing strong mother. Truly a blessing to each other. Tripp truly is a gift, teaching not only you, but all of us that you share with. Thank you for that, for showing there is joy and love in every moment, and blessings all around. You are in our prayers.

  7. oh he's got to be the cutest baby. you are so strong Courtney. my heart aches every time i look at his photo on my blog. a good reminder for me to keep praying for others and not get caught up in my own little world. i am praying for Tripp to be healed completely so he can run around and play like other kids without having to worry so much.
