Week in Review

Where does time go? Well, we know - time goes too fast when you are having fun and that is just what we are doing these days. Trevor is such a joy! He's chatting like there is no tomorrow. We love how he has conversations with us and when done with a sentence that you can't entirely make out he just looks at you and waits for a response. He's talking up a storm and repeating everything so watch what you say around him (Mommy needs to remember this when yelling at Randle!!). He's very big into saying 'bye bye ____ (fill in the blank)' - could be house, Randle, people, bird, poop or grass just to name a few! Yes, that read poop. When he gets his diaper changed he says it or when he sees someone go to the bathroom! We don't think he's far off from potty training. Ugh...he's growing up too fast!!

He had his last week at his current day care. We switched him to a different day care for the summer until he switches one last time to Calvary - the top rated center in our area and the place he was going to go as an infant before Sara's job was eliminated. The day care he was at for the past two months was never a top choice but it was a faith-based program that was 2 blocks from our house and they had openings when Sara had to start work. You could tell they really loved Trevor, even saying he was their favorite, but we wanted to try out another center while we could.


One of Trevor's parting gifts from one of his friends at Sunshine Valley was a bite. It's always ironic when they say 'one of his friends bit him today.' What? Friends don't bite friends! Ouch!




Trevor continues to be a great eater and is not afraid to get food from the cupboard when he's hungry! He doesn't discriminate against foods but continues to prefer carbs, fruit, and meat.



He went through a stage of not liking his baths (weird) but fortunately we're past that. Or maybe not...because now he has a tough time getting dressed in the morning. It's not very much fun to fight him on getting ready for school!


Other news for the week is that on Friday night we tried out a new sitter since two of our other ones have left for other nanny jobs out of state :( and we had plans with grad school friends. The Hases are moving to North Dakota so we had one final rendezvous at Psycho Suzi's! Who knew that build your own s'mores could bring such belly laughs!



Saturday morning Trevor and Mommy made blueberry pancakes. Trevor really is a good helper - stirring when asked. He also does a good job eyeing the dough and trying to take a lick!



He is a bit messy but nothing Mommy's apron couldn't fix. Although it is a bit long!



He wasn't too happy when it was time for Mommy to make the pancakes on the pan. He surely likes stirring and helping!


On Saturday afternoon we had fun around the house. Especially playing 'up' with Dada. Trevor could play this for hours and just giggle away! He's great at saying more and please too!


Late Saturday afternoon our friends the Flaherty's came over for some play and some dinner. Trevor was a bit startled to find people in his house when he woke up from his nap but after some food in his belly he wasn't shy and had some fun hanging out!


Myles and Reagan even brought over some of their 'old' toys for Trevor to play with! He is very fond of the elephant rocker.



Did you notice what was missing from all of these pictures? Yep, a little hair - just got his 6th haircut! But no, that's not it! He's nuk-free for over a week!! After talking that 'nuks are not forever' we took his nuk away last Saturday (June 4). After he got up, his nuks just mysteriously disappeared and he really hasn't asked for them since. Saturday nap was a bit rough with him crying for close to 15 minutes before laying down to sleep and Mommy almost caved and went in to give him his nuk but she held strong and it's been great. He really is such a big boy that is growing up way, way too fast!
