Great Truett Videos from this past week.

We got to go to the pool this week and the boys had a blast. David especially. Truett is now asking to play in the water everyday.


Probably one of my favorite videos. Truett playing with the Smith kids, some of his best buds this past year. Obviously wrestle mania is just part of their make-up as boys.


This was this evening on the way to dinner. Daddy and Truett breaking it down and I was so thankful to catch it on video (praise iphone). I love moments like these.


Truett adores his Grandpa and Grandma Stringer, you can see it on his face, but then he crash and burns. OOPS

Truett Videos

Here are some up-to-date videos of Truett. They will probably be very boring to you, but anything this kid does puts a smile on our faces.



This was a first. We have this extremely pointless balcony on our apartment. Pretty much during the nicer weather months we use the door as a large window and open it. Well, it was raining this day and Truett decided to go out on the balcony. He was pretty shocked by what he found. He really started to enjoy it though and it was hard to get him back inside. Pretty funny too the music in the background is from the tv. Truett had been watching Signing Time, one of his favorites. Fitting song.


Truett all of a sudden got all crazy on us when he saw daddy trying to get skype working. He loves talking to family on skype. This night we were talking to Uncle Andy and Aunt Caitlin and he was crazier than ever.


Here is a video from Easter morning. It was so fun having him wake up to his Easter basket. I really wanted to hide eggs around the house because that is what my mom did when I was little, but I didn't think we would have time before church. Maybe we'll tweek our traditions next year. He got an Easter box in the mail from Grandpa and Grandma Stringer too so I had that stuff out for him. He loved it all as you can tell.

Truett's favorites shows are Signing Time, Mickey Mouse, Handy Manny, and occasionally Elmo. Anything with them in it he is all over. I think in that order too. We got Truett a bunch of Signing time books and music cds because we get the dvds all the time from the Library. It is nice now to have some non tv stuff for him that he loves.

Late Updates: Jan visit from Aunt Heidi

In January of this year, Heidi came to visit us in KY. This would be her last visit to Louisville (at least to see us) because we are graduating in May. WOOOHOOO!!! It was a lot of fun. I had just found out that I was pregnant and struggling through the first trimester sickness, but Heidi (as always) was a trooper. She soaked up all her time with Truett.

On this day I am pretty sure that Heidi read every single book that Truett owns. They both loved it. Truett still loves books and can sit in your lap for hours reading them.
Josh taking a turn down the big hill. This hill is a haul so you only do it so many times before you are exhausted from climbing it.
Heidi (carring Truett), Josh, and Zoe coming up the hill. Heidi and Truett just took their first trip down the hill. Way to go Heidi. She was nervous. She did great. Heidi had hoped that the snow would still be around when she arrived from Florida, and boy did it. I think we even got some more.
This guy is so handsome. This is a Christmas Story moment.
Thank you Aunt Heidi for coming to visit us. We were sure glad you did.

Warming up from playing outside in the snow.

This is a really good picture sometime in January or February. Truett is warming up in his cozy chair watching tv because he was just outside playing in the snow. Handsome little man.

New Truett Video

This is a new video from this week of him falling asleep at the table. I skipped his nap this day and it proved he is not ready to go without a nap still. He is too darn cute.

Truett's Farts

Last week, Friday to be exact, I was getting Truett ready for bed. We have a routine we do every night probably like most parents. Bath time, Diaper, Pj's, close the curtains, turn on sound machine, hugs and kisses to daddy, read books, rock a bit, and than night night in his crib with blanket and fuzzy. Well, this night was obviously no different. I was putting Truett's diaper on when he farted. It was loud and smelly. It was practically in my face. I reacted how someone would normally react to such an event, and Truett thought it was the funniest thing in the world. It was as if he was a teenage boy laughing at just doing a smelly fart in in his mommy's face. It really was funny even to me a bit. We proceed in the bedtime process. Now we are reading books, and he lets 2 more go. I now can not handle it.

During this pregnancy I am convinced that my nose is way more sensitive than it was with Truett. Half my battles have been living in my apartment because of my neighbors smelly cooking and no fresh air. Now that the sun is back and the weather is nice, the windows are open and I can walk around the house without a face mask on (literally).

So, back to the fart story. The second time, I can't handle it much longer. I yell for Josh to come and relieve me and take over bedtime process. I then proceed to the bathroom to throw up what seems like everything I ate that day. Which was a real bummer, Josh had brought home a T-bone steak from work to grill out. I ate the filet and he had the strip. It was awesome, well not for long. I don't think baby got any of that steak.

End of story, hope you got a good laugh.

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma

Last night Truett opened a present that came in the mail from Grandpa and Grandma Stringer. He loves it. We always read books before bed and this is the one he wanted last night and then this morning he read it to his buddy David. This is one of the coolest gift ideas.

New Years Eve Part 2

Truett and Jonathan wore the same shirt. Andy and Caitlin went to Disney in November and brought them back matching onsies. They were too cute. Not to mention every time they are together we do a photo shoot. These poor boys are going to grow up asking us why so many pictures of them together in the same outfits. You would think they were twins. We are probably going to pay for this when they get older.

Someone found the boots again.

Big Announcement

Josh eagerly posted on Facebook, but forgot our blog. Facebook found out a day earlier. We are excited to announce Truett is going to be a big brother. We are very early on barely 7 weeks pregnant. We had our first Dr. appointment yesterday. We are due September 24th. This shirt Truett is wearing was Josh's. Josh wore it when Andy was born. I don't know how we can recreate perfection, but we are doing it again (jk). Truett is a little model in this picture he looks like he is putting his hand on his hip. I love this little guy. He amazes me more and more everyday.

New Years Eve Part 1

New Years Eve was a ton of fun this year. I hope we can do it again next year.

Daddy, Uncle Andy, and Truett.

Marcy's memorable mock margaritas. Whenever we get together there is always a request. They were super yummy. Even Truett likes them (no worries, there is no alcohol).

Me, Caitlin, Marcy, and Judy

Girl band. I don't know why but I love playing rock band. It was a ton of fun.

The boys played their share of video games too. Truett was too cute. He wanted to be right up there with them. Josh and Andy gave Truett a piece of the controller and Truett would pretend he was playing too. It was soo adorable.

Piano Time

We went for a visit to the Howards for dinner one night. They have a piano in the front sitting room. Truett loves the piano.

Misc. Christmas Photos

Here are some more Snow day photos.

Truett love love loves going for rides on the cabota, especially with Daddy and Grandpa.

Aunt Caitlin and Truett

So cute - Uncle Andy and Aunt Caitlin trying to get Truett to do a snow angel.

Daddy, Zoe, and Truett playing in the snow.

It was really hard trying to pull together some snow gear for Truett. We didn't pack for snow coming from KY to GA. I ran to Walmart that morning and found 2 pairs of boots not knowing which ones would work. These were one pair I bought. They are more a rain boot, but the Walmart in GA didn't even have any snow gear. Turns out Truett loves these boots. He puts them on every time he sees them.

Can't stand how cute he is.

Not enough wants to go out again.

Truett's Favorite Christmas Present

Truet got a pop-up tent and tunnel for Christmas from Grandpa and Grandma while we were home. Here are some really cute pictures of him playing in it. This really is hit.

Aunt Caitlin getting in on the act. She was the first adult to brave the tunnel since she is so tiny.

Cute one of Aunt Caitlin and Truett.

This guy is so cute.

Truett standing by with anticipation. Notice his shoes on with his PJ's. Truett loves his shoes. He looks kind of silly

Sledding this week.

We had a great time sledding this week with all the snow. There is still snow on the ground and we are expecting more. People are still sledding. Heidi comes to visit next weekend hopefully there will still be snow on the ground so we can take my fellow Floridian sledding.

Truett loves the sledding. He yells as we go down the hill. He is no wimp either, he would go from high up on the hill.

Stringer Christmas

Truett had a good time at Stringer Family Christmas this year. He got to play with a bunch of family.

Cousin Jeffrey and Truett. He was trying to put him on his shoulders and Truett thought it was hilarious to keep his legs crossed.

Cousin Courtney playing with the Little People Nativity set. She swears he said baby Jesus. :)
