A doctor's visit and the park

A couple of weeks ago (yes, this phrase seems to be a trend on this blog lately) Tristan had a follow-up doctor's appointment at the ENT to check on his ear tubes. As we were sitting in the exam room waiting for the doctor I couldn't help but notice just how grown up he looked sitting in the chair. The first time he went to the ENT he was just shy of nine months and Victor and I had to hold him in our arms for him to be examined. Not now, he sat in the chair all by himself and let Dr.Franklin check out his ears, nose and throat...he was so good and he got a good report, the tubes are still in and apparently working fine since he has been ear infection free since getting them again (this is his second set).

What a big kid!

After his appointment we went home and picked up Parker and Grandma Mildred, who watched Parker while we went to the doctor, and headed out to lunch and then to the park. We actually hadn't been to the park in awhile so Tristan had a lot of fun running down by the water, seeing the ducks and of course, playing on the swings and slides.

Kicking the sand, a favorite thing to do

Waiting for someone to go put him in

Probably wishing I would stop taking pictures and just put him in the swing!

Weeeeee

Love this face

Looking a little peeved that Mommy didn't take him out to swing too
