Since Tristan learned very recently to move himself around, he has been a little machine. He wants to stand ALL of the time. This means that he wants to stand while he should be sleeping. Yep, he’s doing that fun thing where he starts standing in his crib and then has no idea how to get back down, so for the first time in a few months we actually must go into his room to deal with his crying when he’s not going to sleep. Poor baby. But I’m really glad that we have the standing thing well underway. I got worried when his crawling paws failed him for a couple of months! In addition to his standing escapades, Tristan can now switch from crawling and sitting at will. Finally, the little baby is rarely found lying down! He even sits up in the bathtub now and we’ve had a few bubble baths.

We also picked up one of Tristan’s new car seats a few weeks back and I think I forgot to mention it. Although he’s over 20 pounds, he’s still under 1 year, so he must face rearward. That meant that whichever seat we got had to accomodate that, and it narrowed our choices greatly. We did find a comfy one that I like using a whole lot better than his infant seat. We still need to get a second seat for the second car, since he’s almost officially too big for the infant seat which has just been kept in the second car since we got this new seat, and we’ll likely have to get another one of the ones that faces rearward as well.
