O' Christmas Tree

Each year we go in search of the perfect tree, and it seems like we always get one just slightly bigger than the one before. This year, we kind of went almost too far -- the trunk was too big for our stand, and the top barely clears our ceiling. But, we finally got it set up and decorated this week. Tristan loves to stare at the lights!

Bye-bye grandma & grandpa

Grandpa & Grandma Chen returned to their home in Wisconsin for the holidays after visiting us for 6 weeks. We sure appreciated the help with babysitting and making dinner for us! Can't wait until you come back again in January!

6 months old

Sorry it's been a while since our last update. We've been so busy since Grandma & Grandpa Chen left us to fend for ourselves here in Camas! Tristan has been changing so fast! He is sitting up on his own very well now and can hold objects in his hands. He has been eating 'solid' foods this past month, and so far we haven't discovered anything that he doesn't like to eat. His growth has slowed down at bit, but he is progressing well -- at his last appt, he measured at 20lbs, 28" long. Here are some pictures from his 6 month birthday.
