Balloon!

Who would have guessed that one yellow balloon would bring our son so much happiness! While out for dinner last night, Trevor got a hold of his first balloon. We were hoping it would distract him while we paid the bill, little did we know it was going to be his new BFF. He loved it!

It was still by his side when we got home. He wouldn't let go of it!

It even went with him to his new favorite spot in the house - standing next to the toilet. Mommy and Daddy have gotten pretty good at making sure the seat is down so Mr. Trevor doesn't practice his splish-splash in icky water!

He probably even dreamt of the balloon that night because the next morning he gave a big smile when he saw that it was still in the house. He just had to figure out how to get to where it was hanging.

While the balloon is a new favorite, so is bread. Any bread! He's our carb lover! He was first introduced to bread while out to lunch with Mommy and Grandma and Grandpa Hillins. He rapid fired through his baby crack and was apparently still starving so we gave him little bits of bread. Well, that worked well until that evening when we were out to dinner with the whole Hillins clan and he got his hands on a breadstick. He happily fed himself until Mommy and Daddy took it away (with much protest from the little guy).

One thing Trevor isn't too sure about right now is egg yolk. He's very into feeding himself so we're trying to think of more and more things he can have that isn't just baby food. He gagged on most of this but we'll try again tomorrow. With peas and carrots he gagged on day one but by day two he was sucking them down without a problem.
