Trevor's 1st Official Haircut

Trevor got his first haircut from a stylist (besides Mommy and Daddy last night)! He did great! He was one mellow fella, allowing the lady to cut away. Piece of cake for our little guy. Well, it did help that there was a TV for him to watch while she was cutting.

Here is his before picture (yep already watching TV):

During (still watching TV):

We considered doing a mohawk but it made him look too old so we'll do that when he's 2 or so :)

And the after (Mommy stop blocking the TV please). So it's a bit shorter and all cleaned up. Mommy and Daddy took a scissors to it a few weeks ago which resulted in crooked bangs and a mess of a line over his ears. Much better now! Such a handsome boy!

Lazy Dog

We haven't been taking many walks these days because it is too hot and humid but we tried to take a little one yesterday and apparently it was too much for lazy Randle. He's done this before too but he just stops walking and hops right into the underneath part of Trevor's stroller. Lazy, lazy, lazy dog. And this was after like 6 blocks. Wonder what passersby think of a dog riding in a stroller?

That Ear!

That left ear is a bugger....it's caused our little guy to have another ear infection. Sadness. Mommy just knew it after a few days of tugging and rubbing his ear, moaning in his sleep, and less talking that the ear infection monster struck again. The doctor said it was so bad we were going right to the strongest antibiotic, Augmentin to clear it up. Ick. This is the same drug that Trevor wouldn't take in April. However, at that point he wasn't eating food so hopefully this time we can mask it in his food and be good. Cross your fingers for a speedy recovery for baby Trevor....who isn't so much a baby anymore. 30 inches long and almost 20 pounds!

New Toys

We had another wonderful weekend filled with friends, relaxing, and food. On Friday night we had dinner at our friends Erin and Dan's house and enjoyed much laughing and yummy steaks grilled on charcoal (love, love, love charcoal!!). On Saturday we ran a few errands before Trevor spent some time in his pool in our backyard. He loves splish splashing!!! On Saturday night we went to our friends Andrew and Deb's house. The boys watched the UFC fight and the girls chit-chatted. And we all enjoyed BTS (aka Better than Sex) cake which was an instant flashback to our time at grad school. We hadn't really had it since then and had to look up the recipe - we used to have it memorized since we had it so often when seeing Deb and Andrew! At both friends houses Trevor was a great sleeper so Mommy and Daddy could enjoy time with their friends.

Mommy noticed that she didn't take a lot of pictures in the past week (whoops!) but here are the few that she did snap!

Trevor is VERY into looking at pictures of familiar faces. He stares intently at his "Who Loves Baby" book. Sometimes it even looks like he's pointing!


On Saturday evening Deb and Andrew gave Trevor some of their kids' outgrown toys. Trevor really took to the musical stage toy...so much so he wore himself out being a rock star!


On Friday during the day Grandma Jeanne and Grandpa Steve came up to see baby Trevor. They brought with them a little rocking chair that Mommy and Uncle Jim used when they were kids. Trevor loves rocking back and forth. He smiles and chats with himself and laughs and laughs and laughs. We may use this as a prop in his 9 month pictures that are scheduled for later this month.

One thing we forgot to mention about this weekend was our visit to a local splash pad. It's a little water park that has water features and sprinklers for kids to play in. Trevor had fun not only playing but watching the other children...so much so that Mommy and Trevor went back today. He was so tired after our outing that he came home and fell asleep eating!

Where Does He Learn This?

Maybe Trevor has seen Randle walk through the bottom of our living room end tables because he surely didn't learn this trick from Mommy and Daddy. Gosh he's so stinkin' cute!!!

Kelly-Hannon Family Reunion

We spent the past weekend in Okoboji, IA for the Kelly-Hannon family reunion. It was a bit bittersweet this year without Grandma Kelly there, but it was nice having everyone together. Trevor got to meet a lot of his extended family!

The weather couldn't have been more perfect - it was great pool weather and Trevor took advantage of it in his new floatie.


Our little guy is quite the water baby. He spent time in his floatie as well as floating on his back. Love how he is all stretched out with his feet crossed. Comfy?


Trevor received a lot of attention from all of the relatives, especially all of the ladies. This picture seems to capture that well :)


It wouldn't be a Kelly-Hannon family reunion without eating every few hours. It's quite ridiculous how our whole weekend is planned around meals but what do you do? YUM!


And here is the clan with Aunt Alice Hannon front and center. She is Grandma Kelly's sister and it was great chatting with her even if it was a bit tough because of the resemblances to Grandma Kelly.

After celebrating Aunt Alice's "Almost 90th birthday" we headed down to the lake to snap a few pictures. Thanks Anne!

Speaking of "almost"...Sara's Aunt Alice (aka Double) was playing with Trevor and said that she's almost Trevor's Grandma and it stuck. Trevor sure loved the attention his "almost Grandma" was giving him!

Trevor was one tired camper. By Sunday late morning he was passed out in his Daddy's lap. It's hard putting on a show for all of his family members!

After leaving Okoboji on Sunday early afternoon we headed to Lakefield where both of Sara's grandparents are buried. Since we didn't get to go to her Grandma Kelly's funeral (you may remember that it was the day that Trevor was born) we decided to have our own little funeral for her. When Brian was little he used to put pin-wheels at the site of his Grandpas' graves so we decided to start that tradition for our family.

We miss you very much Grandmas! Thanks for watching over our family every day and every night!

It's the Simple Things

Trevor is very easily entertained these days as you can see. Not sure why we even invest in toys when he seems perfectly content with exploring and finding his own entertainment.

Wow this springy door stop thing is pretty cool. It even makes noise!

Ah, this door helps me keep my legs nice and toned!

I can chase a cool-whip container like no other. I can even worm my way through obstacles!

What Mommy - I'm not doing anything :)

8 Months Old!

We can hardly believe that 8 months ago our son was born. Where does time go? He is such a joy in our lives and love every second of having him around. Both Mommy and Daddy often say "I love you" to him spontaneously throughout the day and sneak him a little kiss.

At this point Trevor is very into opening and closing doors as well as pulling the door stops so that they make noise. He is very good at feeding himself Cheerios, even using his pinchers rather than his whole fist. He loves to eat and still prefers green veggies over anything (especially meat - have you tried that stuff - ICK!) He's so proud standing next to his music table (rather than play with it on the floor) and army crawling to wherever his little heart desires. He's talking more and more, still a lot of screeching sounds but more boo, goo, moo, doo sounds. He has 2 bottom teeth in and there are four on the top making their way through. The way he's drooling and chewing on everything we think there are even more coming in!

Como Zoo

On Sunday afternoon we decided to head over to Como Zoo since Daddy hadn't been there yet. Before we head out though Randle always has to go outside to do his business. Well while he was out there Trevor army crawled his way to the door. Trevor's look is priceless, like "hey are you going to let my doggie in or what?"


On the way to the zoo our tired camper passed out. Look at how he's holding on for dear life to his car seat (is Daddy's driving that bad!??)


While we were at the zoo we got to see the Sparky the Seal show. Like father, like son :)

Trevor was very into the seals and enjoyed watching Sparky's family for a while.

Trevor was pretty wiped after a few hours at the zoo but allowed us to check out the Japanese gardens. It was so peaceful and quiet back there.

After the zoo we hit Snuffy's malt shop to indulge in some malts. YUM!!! Note to self that we need to get some malt powder so we can make them at home. Or we'll just have to go to the Como Zoo more and make Snuffy's part of the tradition!
