It is just amazing how time can really get away from you! Lots of things have been going on lately and we have been so busy enjoying our sweet boy that I just realized the other day it has been a month since I updated this thing! A long story short, the Lord has continued to bless our lives each day! Here's a list of new and exciting things going on:
- Tripp Ray is 3 months and 10 days old!!!! Oh how fast it has gone!
- He is rolling over, has discovered his hands and feet, reaching for and grabbing everything he can, smiling and babbling soooo much, growing so fast we cannot believe it, loves rattles, his little "floor gym", for us to read books to him, and has gotten lots more hair(that seemed to be turning blonde but as of 2 days ago has a VERY red color to it)
- Tripp also had his first round of coughing and congestion...we took him to the doctor and she gave us two different prescriptions to help his little cold run its course...and he is much better now. :)
- He now weighs over 13 lbs. and has gotten MUCH longer...I forgot to have them measure but his clothes are fitting very snug in the way of length! Also, he is still on the monitor just at night and probably will be until he's at least 6 months....and since he has started grabbing things he now pulls at the wires...so we will probably be jarred out of sleep when he starts pulling hard enough to disconnect them!!!
- A couple weeks ago, school was delayed due to weather and I turned my car over on my way to drop Tripp off....God is always watching us because we were both just fine! When I crawled back to turn Tripp's seat around he just looked up and smiled at me. I was obviously very scared and told him this was not funny but he seemed to enjoy the ride anyway...and thank you Lord for car seats! Needless to say, my car was history and I now have a Yukon XL that will hold 3 more children if I can ever convince Levi to have that many! :)
- We are excited to announce that two more of Tripp's friends have arrived! Last week, Jack was born on the 11th and Noah was born on the 12th!!!! They are both big, healthy, and just precious! We are so grateful to have them and their parents in our lives and praise God for safe deliveries and healthy babies! Can't wait to watch them play together!
- And.....one of my best friends, Laura, found out she is expecting in October!!!!
- We are at the end of Spring Break and Tripp officially had his first few days at MeMe and PaPa's without Mama and Daddy! We went with them to Dallas to visit my Grandma "GG" and for her to meet Tripp...then Levi and I were off to Ruidoso. My parent's were so excited to keep him for a couple of days! It was very hard to be away from Mr. Tripp Ray but we had a great time together and got some needed rest!
Well, I'm sure there's more but as you can tell we've been busy! Levi and I are doing wonderful and Tripp is just the light of our lives! Now....we do have one request before ending....we have really been in prayer for God to guide us and His will to be done in our lives whatever it may be...please just have it in your prayers for God to continue guiding us. Thank you for being in our lives and we love you all!
It was hard to choose this time so here's a "few" pictures!

Tripp is a good looking guy. Looks like he is really growing. You'll turn around.. and it will be time for him to graduate and be a man. Enjoy all the "little" moments.
