Random shots (we're back!)

It's been a long time, I know.  Too long.  Lots of happened since then.  In February, Tristin had his first febrile seizure.  A traumatic experience for both C, T and I.  It happened on a random Wednesday night when his fever shot up to significantly high levels and C and I had ignorantly failed to monitor.  Bad on us for thinking his body could easily fight it off and for us to underestimate how powerful and scary fevers could be.  It was the worst night of our lives as we held T in our arms not knowing what was happening to his little body and terrified at the thought of losing him. We immediately called 911, went to the hospital and learned about the world of seizures driven by sudden rise in temperature.  Lesson learned.


Since then, T has flourished. He bounced back rapidly from the night and has started saying more words ("perro", "Ah no", "Vamos"), albeit only a few more and all in Spanish.  His favorite past-time is talking on the phone and dancing.  These days, his dance moves can range from moving his head side to side to doing the moonwalk - he glides backwards and disappears into another room.  We can have intense conversations with him where he stares at us and in a stern voices, expresses his thoughts except C and I have no clue what he's saying (he's baby blabbing).

More posts to come.....as soon as we (or rather mommy) gets her act together but in the meantime, some random shots with no captions.  Old but at least they're new (meaning never seen) :-)
