11 weeks going on 16 pounds

Ahhh... My sweet little boy, or big boy I should say. Tripp has mastered so much since the last blog! June is almost gone and Tripp is getting huge! He can now almost hold his head up on his own, he can most definately sit up at 90 degrees while on his tummy and he giggles and laughs at what he thinks is funny.

I started work the middle of June and I must say once I walked through the door I haven't stopped running. It's busy leasing season and not only am I trying to learn a new job, train new employees but also soak in the fact that I am not with Tripp all day like I got used to.

Thank heavens for Grandparents. Thankfully my dad and mom were pretty much on Vacation and able to work us into their schedule and help us out by watching Tripp. I don't know what I would have done without them! I couldn't imagine leaving him with a complete stranger and the thought of it drove me crazy. He seemed to enjoy going up to his grandparents house. I would wake up at 4 get myself ready, feed him, get him ready, drive him up there, drive to work, drive back up there and then come home. Lets just say those were LONG days. Starting at 4 in the morning and not getting home until 9pm, talk about being exhausted.

Tripp was able to meet his cousins for the first time! He loved watching Alex and Hailey! It was great to see Hailey for the first time and wow, Alex is SO BIG! We tried to get a family portrait taken but it didn't work out. I tried myself to get a picture with the cousins and that was hard enough. Alex called Tripp the Tripster. It was really cute. I'm so glad they got to see eachother and hopefully they will be able to keep in touch!

Look at this little doll baby. He really loves to smile for the camera. I love to watch him smile, he's just really sweet. He looks so good in his Ralph Lauren outfits. Speaking of outfits he's in size 3 to 6 months clothes. He can't wear his just 3 month clothes anymore. They are too small, and sometimes he can wear 9 months.

I'm working on loseing the weight. I have about 20 more pounds to go. I really need to get back into the Gym! I can't seem to figure out when I am going to have time though, with Tripp and work...

Reading time with Daddy! Phil works all day as well and tries to spend as much time with Tripp when he comes home. They're so cute together!
