Time is passing us by....

Lots going on at the Hillins household lately - both Brian and Sara's jobs have been busy, busy, busy so blogging has taken a back seat but here's some updates.

Trevor is done with the step stool as his chair at the table. He now has taken over Dada's chair!


When getting out the first down marker costumes for an event at Sara's work, we came across some other costumes. Trevor thought the glasses and nose were hilarious!


As did Dada....


Trevor is back in his crib (with the mattress pretty much on the floor) and has been doing great with the adjustment. He goes to bed on his own, doesn't really wake up and call for us (unless he pooped) and stays in bed until we come to get him in the morning. Well, minus the 2 times he was upset and showed us that he is super powerful and can pull himself up and basically plank on top of the crib. Not even joking - would have loved to have taken a pic of that but we definitely did not want to encourage that behavior. Talk about dangerous!!

So how did we get him to go to bed on his own, no crying, and stay in bed (he even now says 'stay in bed' instead 'outta the bed') - a little food bribes! Over the weekend it was donuts. Weekdays it is all about M&Ms. He wakes up asking for them because he 'stay in bed.' 3 or 4 M&Ms seem to do the trick!


In the theme of food, Trevor has never been afraid to go into the cupboard to get food ever since he could crawl. Lately though his food of choice is cereal. Especially for his pre-dinner!


Trevor is very into sports these days. Not sure where he learned it, but he's started to hike the ball like a true center!


Hut, hut, hike!


And like a receiver he's learned to spike the ball after a touchdown. He even has a celebration dance where he says 'woo hoo' as he goes around and around in circles!


And lastly, there have been no shortages of horsey rides. They make our little guy laugh and laugh.

Oh and the latest rider....monkey is Trevor's newest best friend. He picked Curious George out himself when he was 18 months after his ear tube surgery and while he sat on the shelf for many months he now has been taken off the bench and upgraded to BFF. Monkey even sleeps in Trevor's crib now along with Skip It 1 and 2, little pillow (often without the pillow case), big pillow, and blankie. What a crowd :)
