so sweet...

Back in November I posted about our trip to Raleigh, NC for Mary Peyton's wedding. The professional pictures were just posted online and they are beautiful. I just had to share a few. Tripp was the cutest little ring bearer ever...

With the beautiful bride! These boys were so precious together!

I love this picture of us!

These were only taken a few months ago, but he already looks so different. Yesterday he turned 19 months, and is getting very independent. We can hardly make it through the grocery store without him climbing up to get out of the buggy or high chair during meal time. He's still a picky eater, although this weekend he saw his bud Price eating broccoli and decided he had to have some too. Maybe that's why he eats so well at school since all his friends are eating the same thing.

I have to go to Mobile this week for work, it'll be the longest amount of time I've been away from him so far. I am looking forward to the trip and getting away for a little bit, but I know I am going to miss him so much!!

It's been a few weeks since I posted... Tripp came down with the dreaded RSV virus a couple weeks ago and then passed some of it right along to me. But we are both doing better and Lee managed to steer clear. Nothing too exciting happening now...

We have been busy though... First, Tripp moved into his new big boy room. We switched his room with the spare because it's a lot bigger and now all of his toys are in there, they use to be in the living room. They were overtaking the room and had to go.

The same week we did his room, he also got a new big boy swing set too!! We were graciously given a gently loved huge Rainbow play system! I am so thankful, knowing these things cost a thousand or more dollars, we were very excited to receive it. Lee and Neal spent all afternoon putting it together and Tripp loves it. Too bad it's back to freezing outside and hasn't been back out there much. But we can't wait till it warms up again!

Uncle Neal and Tripp playing on the swing set! Yes, he is wearing shorts, I believe it was close to 80 degrees outside! And now it's 30! No wonder we were all sick!

Tripp's been to work with me several days this month between being sick and out of school for the holidays. He loved wandering around and playing, although he really wanted to bang on my keyboard the whole time.

He is getting so big and so tall. He is talking non-stop and always is full of energy. I was telling someone the other day that he never "winds-down" at night. We usually put him to bed around 8:15-8:30 and he jumps in his crib till he falls asleep. He doesn't cry, just jumps! His class has started doing art projects and I love seeing his "artwork" and putting it up on the frig. Just another thing that reminds me how old he's getting!

We traveled down to Dothan the weekend after Christmas to visit my mom's side of the family. We had a great time visiting and catching up with lots of cousins and Tripp had a blast running around the barn playing. He loved climbing up on Uncle Fred's big tractors. We had a great time and can't wait to go back soon!!

They even had one his size...
