Trip/Jovie 2.5 month comparisson

Trip and I got to spend a little bit of time with Kat and Jovie when they were in town last week picking up Mark. It is always fun to see these two next to each other. Jovie is 5 days older than Trip, but they are definitely very different! Jovie is such a sweet dainty little girl and Trip such a big boy! I love these pictures because I think they represent what Trip and Jovie's relationship will be like as they grow up. Trip is reaching out to grab Jovie's hand and she is obviously not interested. Hopefully she continues to stand her ground and totally ignore any boy that is trying to hold hands with her!

Visit with the Jains

Our good friends Priti and Suneel Jain came to San Antonio for the day yesterday before heading on to Austin for a short vacation. It was so good to see them and catch up. Priti and I shared the same due date (March 17) and had our babies on the same day (March 9) one year apart! Below are some pictures of Suneel and Priti holding Trip and a cute picture of their little girl, Syra.

Baby Cow

This post is a shout out to Aunty Johanna ... Trip in the adorable cow bath towel she gave him!

Uncle Buck

Last night we were able to see Trip's Uncle Collins (aka Uncle Buck) who was in town for work. We met for dinner at the usual Kuper Family watering hole, La Fonda, in San Antonio. It's pretty unbelievable to see how Collins has transitioned into being so comfortable holding Trip now compared to when Trip was just a few hours old. It's easy to see already how these two will grow to be best buds!

I see myself!

Trip has learned to recognize himself in the mirror and is starting to grab at toys with his hands. In the pictures above he is playing with the MP3 player music mirror my sister Whitney gave him ... it's really cool because you just hook your iPod up to it and the music plays through a speaker in the mirror. If you can't tell by how mellowed out Trip is, he is jamming to Jack Johnson! My family might also appreciate the Mizzou t-shirt and pants he is wearing - Go Tigers!

TV time with Dad

Hopefully TV at such an early age doesn't impact Trip developmentally! If Trip turns out to be a TV junkie, I blame his father.

My first Mother's Day

Thanks to my wonderful husband, this was a fantastic first Mother's Day! He gave me a Bluetooth to make it easier for me to talk on the phone while holding Trip. We ate a wonderful brunch at the Cypress Grill here in Boerne. And the best part of the day was the long nap I took while J took care of our little man. Then, we ate dinner with J's family in San Antonio. All in all, a fabulous day!

Our first family picture ... Isn't that terrible!?!
