Trevor enjoys being read to which probably started when he was first conceived. Sara read to him most every day when he was in her tummy. Here is a pic of Daddy reading one of his favorite books - Monster at the End of the Book - to baby Trevor. We're glad that Grandma and Grandpa Hillins saved all of Brian's favorite childhood books so that he can now read them to his son!
Trevor LOVES his hands, which are now not covered in mittens since he's stopped scratching himself. He loves feeling the different textures of his toys as well as touching Mommy and Daddy's skin.
Trevor learned to like his pacifier this week, thanks to Daddy and Grandma Jeanne. He's still particular in taking it but will take it from time to time. The lactation consultant thinks he really needs it because he eats so fast he misses out on sucking time. So she had us try a new pacifier (2+) and he seems to like it once in a while!
People think he looks more like Sara now. We think he has her eyes and lips and Brian's nose!
Trevor had fun hanging out with his Grandpa John and Grandma Pauline when they were here for his Baptism. They enjoyed reading books, cuddling, chatting, and playing with his toys. He is very into black and white toys and books right now. And they took good care of him while Mommy went to get her nails done - what a treat for all!!
We learned this week that Trevor is 11 pounds 6 ounces. He gained 15 ounces in 10 days (they are supposed to gain .5 to 1 ounce a day) so he is getting more than enough food! Note the chubby cheeks in his pictures!!
His usual schedule now consists of eating every 2.5 to 3.5 hours during the day. He has always followed the routine of eating, then active time for about an hour to hour and a half, then nap time until he wakes up to eat. At night he has his last feeding around 10 or 10:30 pm and goes to bed right after. He usually sleeps until 3:00 or so, eats and goes back to bed until 6:30 or 7:00am. We feel really lucky that he is such a good sleeper!
Trevor loves visitors!! This week Aunt Chandra and Uncle Matt finally got to meet him and Auntie Erin stopped over to catch up with Mommy and hang out with baby Trevor.
Trevor is officially out of newborn clothes. Mommy tried to put him in the outfit he wore home from the hospital, but it clearly didn't fit. That's good though - he has a lot of 0-3 month clothes to be wearing!!
Another big happening was Sara and Brian having their second big outing leaving Trevor with "babysitters" ie Grandma Jeanne and Grandpa Steve. We headed to the Vikings game (in which they beat the Cowboys) and Trevor and his Grandparents had quality time. He had no problem taking the bottle and probably didn't even notice Mommy and Daddy weren't there. Although, we sure missed him!!
