Heather Rae El Moussa’s Son Tristan Reaches a Major New Milestone & Her Shocked Reaction Was Caught on Video
Heather Rae El Moussa and Tarek El Moussa’s son Tristan has officially entered the toddler phase! They caught the 14-month-old taking his first steps on video, and Heather Rae’s reaction is priceless.
“Guess who’s walking!!??? Ahhhhhhhh” the Selling Sunset captioned a new video on Instagram. “Here we go….Watch out world!!”
“We are so proud of our little love,” she added. “The most steps he’s taken is 8 now!!” Aww, she’s such a proud mom!
You can see how excited she is in the accompanying video, taken from an angle above the couch where Tarek is sitting. Heather Rae is perched on the floor, and Tristan is standing near the couch, supporting himself with a hand on the cushion. Everyone looks like they are either ready for bed or just woke up, as Tarek is in sweats, Tristan is in pajamas, and Heather Rae is wearing a matching brown sweatsuit. As soon as Tristan pushes off the couches to walk toward his mom, Heather Rae drops the toy she was in the middle of picking up and reaches her hands out to her baby.
For a second, Heather Rae has the biggest surprised face. Her mouth dropped open and her eyes got wide. It is shocking to see your baby walking! Then she shrieks “Yes!” as Tristan toddles his way over, and Tarek pulled out his phone to take a picture (good man!). Tristan falls right as he gets to his mom, and Heather Rae lets out this excited squeal. It’s such a cute moment!
“Can I just take a moment to point out how much joy I got from Heathers INSTANT toss of what she was holding to cheer on and support her bub?!?! ????❤️ #mom” one person commented. Someone else wrote, “Your face when you realize this is happening ????????????????❤️❤️????”
“The proud mom squeal is the best ????,” another wrote.
The Flipping El Moussas star recently shared more updates about what Tristan has been up to, as well as cute pictures of the blonde-haired boy. In the caption, she wrote, “He says mama, dada, dog & is trying to say other things. He’s taken 2 steps but not walking yet. He gives kisses & hugs. He loves being outside. He’s so sweet but strong willed. He loves pacis and drinking water. ????”
Heather Rae, who is also stepmom to Tarek’s kids Taylor, 13, and Brayden, 8, who he shares with ex wife Christina Hall, also shared how much motherhood has changed her life. “All 3 of the kids have made me a better person in different ways. I got my feet wet with Tay & Bray & then Tristan’s sweet soul chose me to be his mama,” she wrote. “The kids have given me different perspective of life. There is a different purpose when you become a mother, you think different, you feel different. Life is more fun, but scary, I worry about things I’ve never worried about before.”
“It’s chaotic but it’s beautiful chaos,” she continued. “I barely rest, I never have lazy days. Some days I miss that. But the alternative is SO much better. ????”
