Well Travis has finally shown an interest in trying to stand up. It took him forever but finally one day I was sitting there just watching him play and he came over to the coffee table and tried to pull himself up on it. He can't get all the way up on his feet yet he just makes it to his knees but at least he is trying. It is so cute because whenever he tries to pull himslef up on the coffee table he sucks on the edge of the table. Everything is still all about tasting for him. Travis has also taken to pulling our movies off the bottom shelf and our books off the shelf as well. He is getting to be so fast. We are still trying to teach him what no means but to no avail or so it seems. All he does when you say no is either ignore you or turn and smile at you. It is so cute. Just this morning I went to get him out of his crib and he was up on his knees that is the first time that he has done that, pretty soon one of these times I will go in there and he will be up on his feet and then again we will have to lower his crib. Travis is not veery vocal most the time, he has his moments but for some reason he has taken up to being really quiet unless he is hungry or upset. I kind of miss the days when we couldn't get him to be quiet. :( O yeah and yesterday morning I actually got Travis to laugh, like actually laugh not just hum after me it was so cute.

As far as Travis and I are doing. We are still trying to get used to this new budget that we need to have in order to make it each month. It is a big difference to add 650 dollars to your bills each month and that is just for the mortgage. But we are getting by. I told Travis the other day that now we are in the same position we were in when we got married, back then it was a whole new life and we had to work from near the bottom up. And now that we have bought the house and we have a baby now it is like we have a whole new life again, and again we need to work from near the bottom up. I still work at subway, but thanks to my hire happy boss we are way overstaffed and I am luky to get two shifts a week. But I found this work at home business that I am going to try out and I am working on the training for it now hopefully it goes well. Travis is working just as much if not more than ever. O and we are both on a diet and workout plan and so far Travis has lost 25 pounds I think. But I have only lost one and I blame that on my diet because we are trying not to put me on too strict of a diet because, well the reason for the thing that I have talked to you about earlier. If you know what I am talking about please do not comment me and say that word in it, there are still a couple people we want to keep in the dark about it. But so far we have been trying to no avail hopefully that will happen soon too. Well I better go until next week. Bye.

Travis is growing up so fast

Sorry but there will be no picture with this one. We just got a new computer and I have not had the time to upload my pictures yet.

Anyway Travis is growing up so fast. It seems like every morning that I go in to take him out of his crib he has grown an inch at least and put on 5 pounds. Lol. Ok maybe not that much but man you try lugging him around everywhere. Travis is crawling all over the place and getting into everything within his reach. He is so cute, we are trying to get him to learn what no means and all it means to him right now is to stop crawling sit up smile at you and then go on doing whatever he was doing again. His second tooth is completely broken through now and he is learning to use those teeth very well. He is doing so good with feeding himself. I give him some gerber snacks and he feeds them to himself and it is so cute. If ever I do not get any that he has dropped on the floor fast enough he will crawl back over there and try to eat his leftovers. Travis loves dill pickles. Travis is fascinated with anything on the floor and anything he can get everything that is not his toys. Travis will not stay in his little saucer for more than 10 mins now. I am lucky I can keep him in there long enough for me to get dressed and ready for the day. And if ever I am not in the same room with Travis he will come find me it is so cute. Oh it was so cute today, Travis didn't have an afternoon nap and so he was so tired for bed tonight that when I was giving him his dinner bottle he was falling asleep drinking it and I had to keep him up just to get his pjs on then the moment I laid him in his bed he was out and he had his hands above his head like superman, we have not been able to see that position for a couple months at least it was so cute I had to take a pic. Anyway that is all for now. Next update will be next Sunday.

Updates on Travis

So Travis just learned to crawl forwar about three days ago now all he wants to do is crawl everywhere. It is so much fun and requires a lot more attention as I am sure that you know. :) I finally was able to talk Travis my husband into buzzing Travis's redneck hair. :) Travis's second tooth has finally broken through. And it was so much easier with his second tooth than his first he didn't whine or fuss at all it is nice. Travis is just starting stage three foods, he doesn't mind the fruits and vegetables in stage three but when it comes to dinner he is still having a little trouble. We had to buy Travis 18 month onsies this week and he is wearing 12 month clothes. I can't believe he is growing up so fast. Travis got his first taste of sprite yesterday. We just got a cafe rio in town and we went there for lunch and travis choked a little on some chicken I gave him and I had to give him a little sprite and he loved it. :) But Poor Travis, he won't be having anymore soda if I can help it till a lot later like 2 or 3. I am very careful with what I let Travis eat. I don't want to start him eating too much sugary foods, because if he is anything like me he will be addicted to sugar and I don't want that to happen to him. I get a lot of crap from my friends and my family about being so strict with Travis's foods, it is so annoying sometimes because I feel like Travis is my son not theirs, who are they to tell me what to do and how to do it. Anyway that is the update with Travis. I hope you guys are doing well.

Updates with Travis

Sorry that this has taken me so long, but I am still trying to figure out how to work this thing.

Travis has one tooth and one on the way, they are both on the bottom. Travis can scoot backwards on his tummy and he can sort of crawl backwatds, it is actually kind of cute. He doesn't know hoe to go forward yet so he gets going backward and gets himself backed into a corner and gets mad, it is so cute. :) Travis can get from his tummy to sitting up now, he sits up so good now but he still has his moments. Like the other night when Travis was sitting up in the bathtub and we turned around for one second and he had fallen backward and bumped his head. Also the other day I was playing our wii and I sat Travis down on the floor next to our bed and he tipped over and hit his head on one of the legs on our bed. I felt so bad. But he stopped crying after I held him for a min or two. Travis stills smiles just as mucch as ever, it is so cute. Some nights when we put him to bed and he doesn't want to go to sleep he will cry and yell in his crib but once he sees us come into his room he gives us a really big smile. :) Just last night I stood Travis up next to one of my friends granddaughter and she is 14 months old and travis was just about as tall as she is and he weighs a good wo pounds more than her. I have a big boy. :) We are taking Travis to flaming gorge in a couple weeks. My parents just bought a boat and they invited us to come with them. I am so excited, it will be Travis's first time in any water more than our tub. lol. Travis doesn't have a binky anymore we stopped that at six months and let me tell you that was the longest two nights of my life. Travis is using a sippy cup now too. He still doesn't understand that he needs to tilt his head back or be on his back to get anything out of it.

Well that is all I can think of now I am sure that once I post this I will probably remember a lot more things but oh well this is all for now.
