15 weeks old!

Tristan is 15 weeks old this week and boy have things changed quickly!  Two weeks ago Tristan got to go on an airplane for the first time because we flew to Las Vegas for Dalein Taylor's wedding (Nick's cousin on his mom's side).  Tristan really loved all of the lights and fun things to look at in Vegas, although traveling messed with his sleep schedule and he started waking up in the night and then waking up at 4 a.m. again.  When we got home on Sunday, the 3rd of the month, Nick, Tristan and I had a nap and then drove 2 hours to Vail to spend the 3rd and 4th with my mom at her condo.  Tristan really liked the fireworks, but not the noise.   Nick had to go home to work, but Tristan and I stayed the whole week in Vail with my mom and spent our time swimming (Tristan) and getting the stomach flu (me).  Also on the trip,  he started blowing raspberries with his lips.  It is the cutest thing ever!  He also laughs a TON now.  He laughs when someone says something that sounds funny, he laughs when we tickle him, he laughs when we smile at him (ok, so maybe his laugh is the cutest thing ever!).  On the 14th, Tristan got to eat rice cereal for the first time. AND he LOVED it!  I'm so glad he liked it because it will help with the GERD a lot if he can get some solid food in his stomach.  Lots of little milestones this month.
Tristan is also:
Holding his head up really well,
Trying to communicate with little squeaks, squeals and vowel sounds,
Become really good at saying the "p" sound,
Looking people in the eyes and smiling
Recognizing people he knows like both sets of grandparents
watching people eat, following the food from the plate to their mouths (I think he's getting ready to eat baby food!)

I'm so proud of our little boy! He has his 4 month doctor's appointment on the 29th (the day before Azalea's birthday) and we will see how much he weighs and how long he is...I think he's about 25 inches long and I'm sure he's around 14 lbs.  but we'll just have to wait and see!
