Going and Growing

I need to catch up! Story of my life these days. Lil T is growing like a weed, outgrowing many outfits already. He took his first out of state trip last weekend to my dad's lake condo in Missouri. Way too hot for him outside so we took turns on baby duty. Trenton loves everything about my dad's place...swimming, boating, fishing-a kids dream. He never made it to the bed for a nap, always passed out before he could even get there! My favorite part is always Marshalls Mega Store...puts TJ to major SHAME! I went twice.
Here are some pics of Trevor from the past week.

Whoops, got that one twice.

Look at his hand...HA


These are from Emily's camera, I'm saving the "good one" for the announcement. You'll have to wait.

Trevor is 1 month old!

Trevor turned 1 month old last weekend. Time is flying by. I THINK he weighs about 9.5 lbs. I'm not sure how accurate that is. He is getting really long and has outgrown several outfits already. Trenton is still loving his lil bro...kissing him all the time. Sometimes when Trevor is crying Trenton will go up to him and say "It's ok, Trenton is here." I can't wait to see these two interact more and more.

Trevor in his Boppy Lounger. He LOVES it. He sleeps in it all the time.
He also loves his carseat (thank goodness). He stays asleep for hours even after we get home.

Laying in Trenton's bed pissed. Trenton trying to talk to him.

Here are some pants that he wore last weekend. These actually fit the week we came home from the hospital.

Tried to get a 1 Month pic in his crib...this is the best I could get (he kept tipping over!)

Laid OUT! One thing that is different with Trevor is that he doesn't like to be swaddled. We swaddled Trenton until he was 5 or 6 months old.

Why you should buckle your baby in the swing. He wasn't even rocking (because it's broke). They can fall out so easily....so I've heard (don't worry Trenton turned out ok).

Matt never goes off the clock. :)

Sneaky Enfamil

Sorry no pics again. I will tomorrow.

So, got the mail today and got another pkg from Enfamil. I thought, hmmm..they are sending me another one because they somehow KNOW that I'm still breastfeeding. I put the formula in the cabinet with the others and started thumbing through the pamplet with all the info ( on how great the stuff is you know). Well let me tell you, they are sneaky...they planned this whole package 4 weeks into Trevor's life for a reason! They are thinking..."she's probably really sleep deprived, let's play into that!" At the END of the pamplet, they just MENTION their new formula called Enfamil RestFull. It is designed to gently thicken in your baby's tummy and digest slowly for a more natural way to help keep your baby feeling satified. WHAT!? My baby more satisfied...what about me!? I called Matt and told him their scheme....and how nice that sounded. They are sooooo smart...I'm not caving yet...yet :)

Mom Talk

Ok, so I think I jumped into the colic category too fast the other day. Trevor seems to be doing much better now that I've pretty much cut dairy out of my diet. He is still the tootiest lil thing though. Sounds like a man in my pack n play all night...HA! He pretty much just sleeps and eats until about 4 or 5, then is awake until 7 or 8. He is a little fussy during his long wake time, but he's a baby....he's allowed that I guess :) Still looking just like his big brother.

Now some car talk....Matt has been bringing different SUV's home for me to try. My current SUV is just too small. We are feeling crammed. Thank goodness Matt can bring home stuff so I can drive them for a few days to see if I like it. Tonight.....he brought home a MINIVAN! I agreed to drive it to WalMart for my errands and I have to say....it's my favorite, but I just don't know if I can do it.....I am not ragging my friends and fam for having one...I'm actually jealous...and very shallow. I agreed to wait for the 2011 body style of the Oddessy to come out (a few months?) before I cut it out completely. Emily...if you get one, I'll get one-but you have to go first--we'll start a movement :) Other options- Sequoia, Tahoe, and Pilot. Anyone have one and want to weigh in?

4th of July

This post is late....I am aware of the date. Trevor celebrated his 1st Forth of July. Well, he slept through most of it I guess. I had matching outfits for the boys. I was excited about going to the rodeo this year. But....when we got there, it was OVER! First time like in 60 some years that the rodeo did not end of the 4th. I was so bummed. So we headed to Outback for lunch and home for naps. We went to our neighborhood pool for a while then headed to our friends, Jason and Staci's for fireworks at their house.

Trevor sacked out at the pool. Check out those crazy overalls. Everytime he would cry, Matt said it was because of what he had on. :) That's my job!
It's not a dress...I am just too lazy to snap the bottom everytime after a diaper change.

Trenton swimming it up.

Munching on Doritos. This pic is for my sis, Rachel, who works for Frito Lay and does not allow anything but Frito Lay...I have to hide my Archer Farms chips when she comes.

Trenton and new friend Chloe at fireworks. Trenton covered his ears the WHOLE time.

Waiting for more. Poor thing, he wasn't a big fan this year.

Trevor never budged.

I eventually went inside with the kids. Trenton was tired of the noise and Chloe was dying to hold Trevor. She is about to be a big sister!

Our family of four...Wow, rough day for mommy.

Trevor is 3 weeks old

Time is flying by already. Trevor was 3 weeks old yesterday. He is sweet and cuddly during the day (because he sleeps most of it) and a stinker in the evening. I'm afraid this little guy has colic from around 6:30 to 9:00pm. He'll stop crying if we push him in the stroller or give him a bath...that's about it. :( I looked up colic on the internet and it starts at 3 weeks, peaks at 6 weeks, and is usually gone by 12-14 weeks. There were about 10 signs of true colic when they are upset and he has all of them. It's an immature digestive tract that causes the crying. He falls asleep, then seconds later, draws his knees up quickly and cries. He roots a lot, but is not hungry. Feeding them a lot during his "time" actually makes it worse. Poor booger...we can make it. I know how fast weeks go by and it will be over before we know it..anyone want to babysit tonight?! From about 6-9? hehe

Look at his cute old man pants! He loves napping in the boppy lounger.

Check out man hands.

In the swing...which does not work by the way. Battery acid ate the spring in the battery pack. Gotta get that fixed...it might be soothing in the evening.

And last....sleeping in the moses basket. He's hanging on to the edge of the basket. Maybe he's got the spins :)

Trevor's 1st Week

Here are some pics from this week. Trenton is enjoying watching Trevor and wants him to "wake up!" I have to keep telling him that if he wants him to grow he has to sleep. Our second night home, Trenton walked into my room and said "Is he big yet?"

Wearing his car shirt for daddy....even though it doesn't even resemble an Acura.
Right after a much needed head wash. He gets greasy fast.

Loaded up and ready for his 1st Dr.'s appt. He is 4 days old.

Dr. checking him out....looks good! I can't wait for the crusty belly button thingie to fall off. I hate that thing...and so does Trenton, he thinks it's poop. :)

Every night, Trevor has some good wake time from about 6-8pm. Trenton wants him in his bed to cuddle. Don't worry, I am always on gaurd to break up any horseplay.

Sweet boys.
Trenton sharing his blue blanks. If this isn't love I don't know what is.

Trenton lined up his teddy and harmon bear next to him.

Aunt Tammy and cuz Cam for a visit.

1 day after hair wash...greaseball. It's my new term of endearment for him.

Showing off his little chicken legs....another motherly term of endearment I promise.
Fuzzy Razorback socks from Aunt Michelle. I'm afraid to wash them they are soooo fuzzy!
Trenton Jr.

Thank goodness someone is keeping up with the plants.


I love this picture.

Going Home

I know, we are obviously already home. I've got to catch up on these photos. Trevor is soooo sweet and pretty much just sleeps all the time. He has some good awake time between 5-8pm. He gets up about 1-2 times a night to just eat and get a diaper change. Life is still easy right now with him sleeping most of the day away.

Daddy dressing Trevor for our ride home. The outfit really swallowed him :)

Mommy putting on your huge booties (they stayed on for about 10 sec. )

All snapped in.


I jumped in the front seat (well more like slowly crawled in) and didn't even think to ride back there with him. This is the moment I knew that you are definately more relaxed with the second one. I even forgot to put up the mirror so I could see him! He kept wiggling those monkey toes so I knew he was alright.

Out of order pic. I still had the same feeling when we walked out that door to go home with a new baby. I can't believe they are letting us take this little person home. :)

More Trevor Pics

Things are going well at home. Just busy baby stuff. It's soooooo much easier the 2nd time (everyone told me that). I can handle night time by myself without being too nervous. I know I can go get my mom or Matt if I really need help. Here are a few more pics from the hospital. I will post a pic from his first dr. visit on Monday. Dr. said he didn't need to come back for the 2 week check! He was already back at birth weight and she said since it's my 2nd, she knows I'm not nervous and she's sure he's fine. I was pumped that I don't have to go back for a while. I would have been terrified to not go back for Trenton's checkup.

Trevor with his Aunt Lexi. Aunt Sydney was at basketball camp and got to see him at home.

Me with my sisters, Rachel and Michelle. Jenny and Tammy were there too but didn't get a good group pic. This was not long after surgery, think I was still a little drugged. Looking rough even though I didn't really have to do anything. :)

Linda (work friend) with new baby. Thanks for coming Dr. Jones, Jennifer, Katelyn, and Linda. Hope you are surviving without me! hehe

Hair shot.


Trenton has been asking to hold him a lot. Wasn't so interested at first. He loves to put his paci in and try to feed him bottles (he tries to feed our dog, Gretchen, too). He has still shown no signs of jealousy and tells Trevor he loves him a lot and that he is cute.

Oh, and we celebrated out 8 yr anniversary yesterday. My mom watched the boys and we went to Shogun. I finally got to eat sushi!
