Guess what I can do!!!!!!!

Well, as most of you know, Tripp hasn't really had too many words in his vocabulary, but oh how that has changed now! He can so many things now and actually has a few phrases that he says. But, I have to say that the greatest moment came when Michael went to leave the house on Saturday, March 21, Michael told Tripp "Love you Bud" and Tripp said "uvv uww" right back! 2 times! The tears in our eyes could not even begin to express to you the immense amount of joy we felt at that moment. I eventually got an "uvv uww" later that night and it made everything in this world around us just be right.

I have been taking pictures, but I haven't been able to upload any yet b/c I keep forgetting my USB cable to do it, but I promise that I will get some new pics on here. Until then...........

What have we been doing?

Well, it's been forever since I have been on here and updated anything. I won't even try to put in here everything that has been going on, but I will update with the latest. Tripp is now 15 months old and so much fun! He is walking & running everywhere and loves to be outside. He loves to ride his four-wheeler, swing, and going down the slide is the most fun for him! He's a "big boy" now so he likes to do things by himself, which makes me kinda sad, but hey-they have to grow up even if I don't want him to. He will hold my hand to walk some places and to climb some steps, but everything else he has to do by himself. He still likes to test us whenever we say "no" or "stop" and it is a fun game for him when he doesn't listen and takes off and we have to chase him down. But I guess that is how they learn some things.



At 15 months, Tripp weighs 24lbs is 31.25" tall and has 8 full teeth with about 6 more that have cut through. Teething bites!



Hopefully I will start to be able to find the time to keep this updated, but until then here are a few pics for the past few months....

Oh, just as an update, I had the fine-needle biopsy doen on my thyroid and the results showed a solid benign mass. I have my next appointment on 3/26/2009 to check on the size of the mass. If it has gotten bigger, we will then make the decision of whether to take medication to shrink it or have it removed. Will let you know what we decide in a couple of weeks.
