Happy New Year!  Tristen had a wonderful birthday and holiday season.  Two new photo galleries have been uploaded to capture the festivities for year-end!

Tristen enjoyed his first trip to the North Pole, via Lake Coeur d'Alene's Christmas Light Cruise tour.  It was pretty neat to hear Santa read his name along with all the other kiddos on the boat!

Tristen is loving his new home and we've managed to play outside a few times when the sun has been out.  He loves being outside and picking up rocks.

Tristen has added a few words to his vocabulary:  pear, ham, and No! (ugh!).  He sort of says "car" which actually means "cracker" and "toe" for "toast".

Bath time is one of Tristen's funnest times of the day. He really wants to put his face in the water, and will come about an inch from doing so, then smiles and comes up.

Tristen can play the harmonica!  OK, blowing a few notes, at least.  We found one that KC had when we unpacked a box the other day that's been in storage.
