update needed here I guess...

we had Tristan's appointment with the pediatric surgeon on Friday. he has a hernia and the doctor said he needs surgery. not immediately, but rather sooner than later. if left too long it could cause castration. definitely not something I want happening to Tristan. so we scheduled him for surgery on June 7. which I didn't remember why that date was so familiar, but it was Tristan's due date last year. go figure.

our little munchkin will be ONE in just over a week. I can hardly believe it! he has his 12 month appointment at the pediatricians this Thursday so after that I can update how much the chunker weighs.

in boy news, Tristan stands on his own a lot, he's taken one step, but is now afraid to take others. I could have sworn he'd start walking before his birthday, but we'll see! Michael's new favorite phrase is "where'd it go?" then he answers himself "I don't know". so much fun to finally see his vocabulary growing. he loves to talk, torture Tristan, but also love on him at the same time. I just love watching the two boys together to see how much they truly enjoy each other's company. except of course when a toy is taken from either of them...then all hell breaks loose.

I have pictures, but maybe later today!

and last of all, Tristan's birthday gift from my friend Amanda is here, how fitting for me, right?
