Well, Tripp is officially crawling! No more of the army scoot, inchworm stuff. It's fullfledged, all out crawling!! I have found him in places I never imagined a baby would ever fit, find or climb! He has a huge obsession with Fred (definitely not mutual yet) and if he's not chasing him he is trying to climb in his bouncy seat, chew on the fireplace, bar stools or a chair in our keeping room as well as other's baby carriers (see pic with Anna Claire Smitherman). The other morning I went in the laundry room to fold some clothes and upon returning Tripp was gone! I heard some paper(another strange obsession) rummaging and proceeded to find him in Jay's office playing with his ad cards...wonderful! He is fond of shoes as well which runs in the family already so I think we're in trouble! They need to make protective head and knee wear for these babes. We have had fun watching what he chooses to get in to and it has definitely changed the routine of my day but I wouldn't trade it for the world! The collage is just a FEW of the places we find him these days(and one of the "snow" today) Usually where Fred is, there Tripp will be also!
Thanksgiving night we went to my aunt's house in Memphis and were able to get all 4 cousins together. After many tries, these are some of the only pics that turned out....notice Tripp finds it hard to sit still (like father like son)!!

Poor Linds, she was trying to be so sweet but Tripp was making that pretty tough!
After the Rebels beat up on the Bulldogs, we went to Jay's family cabin for the weekend! Tripp finally met his cousin, Conner and they had a blast playing!
It's hard to believe that 5 months ago we were in the hospital waiting to find out what this precious gift was!! Tripp has grown SO fast and has been doing so many fun things:
-Getting on all fours, moving his knees but not quite figuring out that he can crawl....still amazes me how fast he can move!
-Has 2 TEETH and they are sharp! -He is infatuated with Fred and everything he does...Fred doesn't quite feel the same way and has been showing out by getting in to things that he never used to do!
-Rolls from back to front (this is kind of funny to watch when he doesn't quite make it all the way:) -Talks, screams(in a good way) and blows bubbles which sometimes turns out to be just spitting -Grabs EVERYTHING, from my hair, to my cell phone, and my food! No more peaceful eating with him in my lap -Giggles when we play peek-a-boo and when I sing "Amzing Grace"...no other song makes him laugh which cracks me up at the same time! -Loves to eat everything but peaches (terrible diaper rash) and is even on to the stage 2 foods -Likes to watch sportscenter and football with Jay -Can find his paci, pick it up and put it back in his mouth, though not always the right way
-Real into any other "small person"...he had just bitten Hayes' booty before I took this pic The greatest is when he smiles when he hears mine or Jay's voice and breaks his neck looking for us! Thank you God for this beautiful, healthy baby boy!

Our little monkey was out and about Halloween night! He actually did really well with the whole costume thing and LOVED the banana he had to chew on. He is chewing on anything he can get his hands on and that little tooth is showing finally and sharp as a razor! I can't believe my little baby has a tooth already!
Getting ready to Trick-or-Treat
Our sweet friend, Amaris, who will be bringing Tripp a friend to play with in February! We can't wait to meet you, Bradley!!
Such a great family photo (I'm kidding completely)! Notice Fred was dressed as Yoda but not real excited about the whole thing!
