Latest Trick

So, today Truett learned to stand up without holding on to anything.

While I was uploading this video I guess he decided to do some walking, too.  Luckily I ran into the living room and got a video of that.  How fun!

More Milestones

It's crazy to me the amount of growth that happens to babies during their first year of life.  This time last year, Truett was squirming around in my belly, and now he's about to walk!  This past week he hit a new milestone...he took 4 consecutive steps on his own.  Each day he gets a little more brave and stable.  He still prefers the crawl because he is pretty speedy, but occasionally he likes the challenge of taking a few steps to get somewhere.  

He also had his first tooth break through 2 weeks ago. It didn't seem to give him much trouble, in fact I don't think I would have known if he hadn't bitten my finger.  He doesn't really like to show the tooth off right now, so it may take awhile for a good picture.

Below are some fun pictures from the last week.

We have had some beautiful days lately, so Truett has been able to play on the back deck some.  He loves going up and down the stairs and trying to eat the snow.  He doesn't really seem to mind that his hands are freezing!  (another way he is NOT like his mom)

He gets to spend alot of time with his friend Brecken.  The Paynes (Brecken's family) and us often have a babysitter system that allows us both to ski some!  
Yes, travel shampoos are Truett's bath toys right now.  He prefers them over his rubber ducky, so I'm not going to go purchase toys anytime soon.
Truett also cracks me up everyday with his facial expressions.  This is his favorite right now.
I've gotta say, this is the first time I've noticed the expression below.
