6 Months in Review

Happy 6 Months!

Here is our little man's photos from the crib. Trevor is now more aware of the camera, and seems to lose his smile while waiting for the flash. He is also moving around a lot more. He can pivot himself around on his tummy, but still has yet to mastered the illusive roll over. He now has 6 teeth (4 on top, 2 on bottom), and it seems like a new one sprouts every week or so! Next week we have our 6 month check up along with some more pokes. It is amazing to think that we have already had him in our lives for a half of a year!!!!

A Little Plugged Up...

Took Trevor to the doctor's office last Tuesday where we found out that crazy congestion and harsh cough = a sinus infection. His top teeth are starting to really show now. You can even see how there is going to be a big gap in between them. He even popped out another tooth today! That makes 5 teeth for the five month old!!!! What a man child. At Tuesday's appointment he weighed in at 18 lbs. 13 oz. He is getting so heavy. Just a few couple weeks until he is 6 months old.

School's Out For Summer

Summer vacation has finally begun for myself and Trevor. We spent our first official day sleeping in past 8:00 am! It was magical. We got up and had some breakfast before taking a cold slightly damp walk around the neighborhood. The little big guy has also popped out two top teeth! Watch out for your fingers, as he can be quite the little vampire if he gets hold of one. I have teased Brian by saying that I was going to get Trevor a "Team Edward" shirt...

Here are a few pictures of Mr. T enjoying his exersaucer, as well as cousin Jackson's cool race car that he received as a birthday present this past weekend. It looked like he was ready to start driving around the yard. Unfortunately his legs aren't long enough to reach the pedals. Oh well, just a couple more years.

Happy 5 Months!

Trevor was very wiggly this time around. He continues to work on pushing his top teeth through. Man do those take forever!!! He has even taken to biting mom with his sharp bottom teeth when he is very sleepy or frustrated. Not fun. Trevor has found out that he enjoys sitting up, and can stay sitting for an extended period of time. He likes to knock over blocks for fun, and has discovered the joys of interlocking links. Trevor is looking forward to spending more time with mom, if the school year ever ends...Just a few more days.

4 Month Doctor Visit

Trevor had his 4 month check-up on Thursday and passed with flying colors. He tipped the scales at 17 lbs. 2 oz. which the doctor said was still quite good considering that he was cutting teeth, had a cold and started drinking from bottles at daycare. He is also 25 1/4 in. long. He is just a growing boy.

Here are a few recent pictures of Mr. T. The first shows him posing with his super-cousin Jackson, showing off his classy AC/DC Angus tie. The second is with mommy in the kitchen.

Happy 4th Month!

My Lovey is four months old today. It is remarkable how time seems to fly by, especially since I have started back at work. It continues to amaze me how much Trevor grows and changes on a daily basis. He is now able to grab things out of our hands. He has even gone after food I am eating! It seems like his nose is ALWAYS running. (See picture above. You can just start to see his two teeth on the bottom.) And drool is present on his chin and clothes for 95% of the day. He loves the exersaucer, and staring at the windsocks moving about at daycare. He is quite the popular baby thanks to his cousin. We are greeted every morning with joyful shouts of "Baby Trevor is here! Baby Trevor is here!" not only from Jackson, but the other friends in the room as well. It is wonderful seeing Trevor respond to Jackson. He just loves watching his "best friend". We couldn't ask for a better role model for Trevor.

Trevor was quite wiggly for this month's photo shoot in the crib. He kept trying to hunch himself into a sitting position, and was subsequently falling over onto his left side. He was pretty happy through the whole thing. Better than the teething experience of last month.

We go in later this week for his 4-Month check-up and shots. I'll be sure to update the blog with his new weight.
