On the way to Nana Jerri's place. ->>
On December 25th in the year of our lord 2009, Tristan had his first Christmas, his mom and several witnesses (with questionable integrity) state that he said “Mama”, he rolled over all on his own (twice) and he slept all night without waking up. The long night of sleeping didn’t stop his mother from waking up at least twice to check on him.
At his first Christmas morning he opened three gifts. He received a thick jump suit for keeping him warm. It is so thick he probably could strike out on an expedition into the deepest tundra (or the mid west these days) and stay cherry cheeked and giggling. He received sweaters and pants to fit his growing body and plenty of books and toys from his aunt, uncle, nanna and papaw.
<<- Silly Mommy and Daddy
A note on his quest to roll over on his own:
His temper seems to match his father’s.
He gets red faced and groans and moans his woeful heart out when he can’t move his arm out of the way to finish rolling over on his belly. We have to check ourselves to make sure we are not using the “rack” or a “thumb screw” on him just to make sure it is no our fault that he sounds like he is being tortured by the inquisition of old Spain. Maybe, like his dad, he’ll persevere through his own frustration and grin with triumph when he can finally roll over and do a push up. We will have to wait and see.

I am a little skeptical about the “Mama” thing but that’s only because I think he should say “dada” first. Oh well.
That is Tristan’s first Christmas. If it is any indication of his speed of development he should be applying to Harvard some time next month and becoming partner in the Wright, Wright & Wright law firm by the end of the summer. I’m sure he’ll run for office when he is two and be elected Senator of Tennessee. By 5 he’ll receive three Nobel peace prizes for the work he’ll do when he is 8. Yes there are great things to come from this little hellion.
