Sitting up!!

Trevor has decided that it is time to start sitting up all by himself! He looks so stinking cute!!








*Trevor is 4 months, 1 week and 4 days old*

As Promised...

Trevor is really changing these days! He doesn't sleep with the swaddle blanket anymore. Now he flops all over the bed while he is sleeping! He really enjoys the sleep sacks we got him. They keep him warm but he can still flip over to his tummy if he wants to. His eyes have changed color from blue to hazel like mine. He is getting up on all fours, scooting, crawling and rolling everywhere and getting into everything! He is getting really good at grabbing anything he wants and studies everything with total concentration. He has outgrown his baby bathtub, finally found his feet and outgrown the bassinet part of his bed. He has also become quite attached to me the past week or so. He doesn't like for me to get out of his sight, and is starting to cry when other people hold him. He won't let Josh put him to bed anymore either. It has to be Mom. It is so exciting to watch him learn and grow. His favorite new toy is paper. He can destroy a newspaper in seconds! LOL That means Christmas should be fun!!!

And now, as promised....NEW PICTURES!!

Playing with Mom

Those beautiful hazel eyes

Yummy feet!

4 month Checkup

Trevor turned four months old yesterday! We had his four month checkup and shots today and the doctor said that he is growing just like he should!! He weighs almost 16 pounds and is 26 inches long! He's healthy as a horse! :) I'll try to get some new pics up later.

Has it Really Been a Whole Year??

One year ago today we found out that we were pregnant!! I can't believe how quickly the time has passed. I can vividly remember how excited I was to see that second line pop up! We had waited for this baby for a very long time. I ran to walmart and bought a gift box and a bib that says "I love my Daddy" and wrapped the bib and the pregnancy test and left it where I was sure Josh would see it. When he came home he opened his very special gift and I could hardly contain my excitement! He was definately in shock! LOL I think it took a day or two for it to sink in that we were finally really pregnant. Everyone told me that my pregnancy would seem to take forever, but in all honesty it seemed to fly by. I can't believe that it has been an entire year. That was definately the best Christmas present I have ever gotten!!


I think the shock has definately worn off now....

And He's Off!!

We predicted he'd be crawling by Christmas.....



Now we're officially having to baby-proof. He can get anywhere he wants to go (at an amazing speed), and can grab anything he wants to play with!!

Show & Tell

I've wanted to wear Trevor more often for awhile now, but the front carrier I had from wally world just wasn't all that comfortable for him or for me. The alternatives were pricey (read: hella expensive) and I didn't want to blow that kind of money on something that I didn't know for sure would be better than what I already had. So, I did my research and made a sling, specifically a ring-sling, all by myself for hardly nothing. It is SO comfortable and Trevor seems to like it. There are a ton of different ways I can carry him in it, including on my hip when he gets a bit bigger. I think I will be wearing him more often now! Since he is very much attached to mommy during the day, this should be a great help. I might actually start cleaning my house again!! LOL



Pretty cool huh?

Who needs toys?

We were cleaning out Trevor's closet the other night and emptied up this box. He loved playing with it!! He pushed it around for a good 15 minutes, he thought it was pretty cool!



And no, he didn't hurt himself at the end, he actually thought it was funny and kept on playing, but I ran out of battery. LOL

Trevor Got His Picture Made With Santa!!

We had Trevor's picture made with Santa at the mall Friday! The Santa was AWESOME!! Trevor could have cared less though, he just wanted to chew on his hands! LOL The picture turned out really good, although I'm not sure it was worth the price tag. :P

I love this poem.

Changing Grace By Amanda N. Maurer I've lost my grace, little one. Since your arrival, my shoulders have slumped, My hair is uncombed, and I cannot be engaged In polite conversation because my tired mind Lacks the energy and my gaze perpetually wonders Away from the speaker to you. But what is grace? I observe another new mother, and she is beautiful. Social graces were important to me once, But not so much anymore. My shoulders are curved in a warm and nurturing embrace As you nurse contentedly at my breast. My eyes radiate a newfound, unconditional love That leaves my entire being aglow. The pace of life has slowed until time stands still And I remember the simple pleasures of a perfect day, Sun shining on my face, smiling and laughing with someone I love. Thank you for reminding me what is truly beautiful in life. I am ready now to give all that I am to you, and All too soon We will both walk tall together.
