Trey and Grandma over spring break.

We stayed in Friendswood this Easter because we were just in Keller 2 weeks ago for spring break and Trey got goodies from Grandma, Grandpa, and GG. About a week before Easter I took Trey to see the Easter bunny at the mall. He didn't seem to mind sitting on the bunny's lap. I didn't know how he would do since we didn't take him to see Santa. He didn't start crying until I put him back in his stroller and was paying for the picture. The day before Easter we went to Clear Lake United Methodist Church for their Easter festivities. Robert took Trey in the petting zoo and I rode the train with him. On Easter day, we hid easter eggs but Trey wasn't interested in finding them. He did eat a chocolate coin out of his basket and played with his giant legos. We went to 11:30 am mass in the hall (overflow mass) and Trey decided to talk and squirm all through church. Gramps and Gamma Bean came over for Easter Sunday dinner and brought us all goodies. Another update- Trey is waving like crazy now.

April Fools Day 2010

April 1st is the anniversary of our first date. We met 5 years ago. Geez has it been that long? Robert didn't make it home from his track meet until around 1:30 a.m. and I didn't wake up when he left so he technically got pranked on April 2nd. I put orajel on his toothbrush and when he came home I kissed him and asked him to brush his teeth b/c he had bad breath. Then he was like "what did you put on here my mouth is burning!" Then he said his mouth was numb. It was pretty funny.

4 Year Anniversary Celebration

We decided to celebrate our 4 year anniversary early this year. We went to Keller for spring break and Robert had been wanting to visit Tom Colicchio's restaurant Craft-Dallas. Tom Colicchio is one of the judges on the popular tv show "Top Chef." We got grandma and grandpa to babysit and went and had a wonderful time and tried some new foods we had never tried including: Duck Galantine, Wagyu Beef Cheek, and baby broccoli. Another highlight of dinner was the diver scallops. It is so rare that we get some alone time together and it was very romantic. We definitely needed it!

Trey's 9 month update

I took Trey to his 9 month appt. today (at 9.5 months). He is 31 3/4 inches tall and weighs 24 lbs. He has grown 2 inches and 2 lbs since his 6 month check-up. The doctor said he is doing just great.

At 9 months he:

Cruises along all the furniture

Can stand up on his own for about a minute

Crawls all over the place

babbles often

wears 18 month clothes

resists a diaper change

eats real people food all the time

goes to Toddler Time at the library and just started going to The Little Gym

favorite new thing is opening and closing doors and taking things out of cabinets.

He still has not quite mastered his sippy cup, clapping, or waving. We're working on it.

"Trey's stalker"

Trey has a stalker at Danbury High School. She is one of Robert's students named Taylor. So far she has made him a 1/2 birthday card and for Valentine's Day she baked him brownies and heart shaped cookies. So sweet that he already has a Valentine and he's not even 8 months old yet. Here he is devouring one of the cookies. Despite the expression on his face, he really did like it and managed to eat the whole thing before I could even put the camera down.

Car accident with baby

Today someone rear-ended me at a red light with the baby in his car seat in the back. My sweet little angel slept through the entire thing. It was harder than I've ever been hit before. The headrest actually hit me in the head pretty hard and the back bumper is coming out. I tried to drive the car but it would sputter and die. I was so worried I was going to have to call a tow truck and I would be stuck there while we waited in the cold. Luckily, the police came and showed me the fuel cutoff switch. I am so thankful that my baby is ok and now I am starting to realize what a huge responsibility I have. And even though I was being so responsible, there is nothing I could have done differently. I am still stressing about the whole thing. I'm just glad my little guy is happy and well.

All I Want to do is Stand UP

Trey has started pulling himself up to a standing position. He tries it all day. Most of the time he looks like he is going to army crawl. But he can walk himself up sometimes. He pushed himself up to standing on me 3 days ago. Two days ago I found him standing up in his crib in the morning, and last night we took this picture of him when he didn't want to go to bed. He is getting to be such a big boy!

On a side note, Trey, Tryvor, and I went to a Danbury basksetball game last night and Trey dropped his dump truck popper from the stands onto the court. A ref picked it up and gave it back to us. Good thing it stayed out of bounds!
