Tryg and the Ravioli

I was feeding Tryg some ravioli, which typically is a favorite of his. He was getting fussy so I gave him the child-fork and was going to let him feed himself. He grabbed at the fork (which I had preloaded with a bite) with such bravado that it flew off the fork on to the floor. He didn't see the piece fly off so as he opens his mouth to put the piece in - he looks at the empty fork and says "uh oh." It was hilarious....

Happy Halloween from Our Little T-Rex

T-Rex is short for Tryg-a-saurus in this case!  

 

 

 

 

Tryg truly enjoyed his 2nd Halloween!  Since putting things in a container is one of his favorite past times, taking candy and putting it in his pumpkin bucket was in his element!  He didn't so much love all the attention, but he did really well.  Mom & Dad will enjoy his trick-or-treating stash!  Mom & Dad will also have to eat the remains of the 150 piece Costco candy bag since we only had about 15 trick-or-treaters this year!  What happened to all those little fairies and ghosts?!?

Someone discovered sauce!!!

Weekend in Appleton

Our family had a wonderful time exploring Appleton this weekend. Mindy's former coworker Lisa was getting married and we decided to drive out and be a part of the big celebration (and make it a mini family vacation at the same time). None of us had been to Appleton before and were surprised at how beautiful and happening the whole town was.

We enjoyed walking along the river and discovering old railroad tracks on a beautiful and warm fall day.

We enjoyed the wedding and meeting new people. We wish Lisa and Matt all the best!

I Love Fall.

Enough said.

Bee Sting on a Little Nose

 Before:

Our poor little man got stung by a bee today.  We were on the pontoon boat at the cabin.  A bee came and was flying around Tryg and me.  Grandpa Randy was going to speed up the boat to try to get it away from us....but right as that was going to happen, the bee landed right on Tryg's nose.  I tried to blow it off and shoe it away but it was too late.  Tryg started screaming.  I'm not exactly sure what happened but once I was able to look at Tryg's face I could see the little red sting mark right on the end of his nose.  


Now, bee stings are bad enough...but if you know me, you know that I am deadly allergic to bee stings...so is my Grandpa.  So, we feared the worst from my genetic pool as we were out in the middle of the lake with a red sting mark on the Little Man's nose.  The poor guy just screamed for about 20 minutes.  However, it didn't swell up the way my bee stings have done in the past.  


When we got back to the cabin we put some baking soda paste on the sting.  So far, (now about 5 hours later) he seems to be just fine.  Maybe the bee didn't get the stinger in all the way...maybe Tryg's not allergic...  We're not sure, but we are very grateful that we did not have to make a run to the Emergency Room in Rice Lake, WI.  
After bee sting:

 

 Then we tried to distract him with Grandpa Randy's remote control truck...

 

He does have a red spot on the tip of his nose, but I think/HOPE that he's going to be just fine.  I think I'll be up many times tonight just listening to him breathe though.

Cranberry Festival

We enjoyed the beautiful fall day at the Cranberry Festival in Stone Lake, WI, just a few miles north of Erik's family cabin.  We walked around to many different crafters booths and food venders.  Tryg was fantastic even though he didn't get a chance to nap until the drive home.  We had perfect weather and a great day.  I even ran into two different groups of people I knew from growing up in Owatonna --Small world!

 

 

 

Tryg took the picture above. :)

 

 

We ended the day by viewing the fall colors during a short boat ride before the sun went down.

I Love This Little Boy

Such a sweetie. --even when he's not sleeping :-)

A Day at the Orchard

 We enjoyed the day at the apple orchard.  The weather was absolutely perfect!  We could not have asked for a better day.  The only down side was that the great weather also attracted many other people making the orchard a bit crowded.  It wasn't that bad though.  It was really fun to bring Tryg around to the different apples, giant pumpkins, little pumpkins, goats, chickens, and our friends, the Skerbitz family.  Tryg had a great time.  He was bouncing all over and excited about everything he saw.

 

 

 

 

Sorry.

I'm so behind on this blog....I didn't realize how bad it was until today.  Someone commented on my last post and I honestly thought that she must have went back into the archives to leave a comment.  Nope!  It's just really been a full month since I have posted!  Yikes.

Sorry!  I'll work on it.

I can tell you that Tryg is SO FUN these days!  He's everywhere but he's as cute as ever.  I love seeing him in his little hoodies and fall hat.  The kid cracks me up.  He looks like a little man as he walks all over and grunts at things.  

 He has not developed much of a vocab yet, but everyone says, "He's a  boy."  He does say "Hi" and "Aah...Ohh" and then "Dadadada" or "Nananana" and the occasional "Mamamama" when he wants something.  It's not so much for 'Daddy' or 'Mommy,' it's just to get anyone's attention who has working hand-eye coordination and a taller reach. :)  Oh well.  He'll get there....and we love him even if he doesn't call us "Mommy" and "Daddy" just yet.   

This photo is from cousin, Kaleb's 3rd Birthday Party.  Tryg loves "driving" anything he can.
**I'll work on more photos and more posts.
