Thanksgiving Happenings

Grandma B. got Trevor an activity station thing a few weeks back but it doesn't do a whole lot for him laying down so we modified it a bit by taking the activity thing off of his kick and play and sliding the leapfrog one up while he is sitting in his bouncy seat. He loves it! We put him in his sit and he grins ear to ear and gets really excited.
The day before Thanksgiving we had him in the seat in the kitchen while I made cheesecakes for the holiday and he was actually reaching out for it and moving stuff on it. It was so cute, he was concentrating really hard.
On the morning of Thanksgiving day, Trevor was trying very hard to work his hands. We noticed he was looking intently at his hands and trying to clasp them and reach for stuff. He's been practicing his new skill alot!!!
Thanksgiving day was fun. We went to Grandpa G's house. As always Trevor was a hit! Everyone commented on how big he is getting and how alert and active he is.
I had to work very long days Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. Travis said that Trevor was extremely fussy pretty much all day both days. This morning we looked in his mouth and you can see the teeth looking like they are all coming in. I didn't figure that we'd be able to see them all under the surface but they're there alright. Maybe that is why he has been so fussy.
My Uncle Ron, Aunt Debbie, and Cousin Nate stopped by on their way home to break up the drive a little. It was nice to see them. I cooked lunch for them and they got to meet Trevor for the first time. After they left we put up the christmas tree. It made me think of the years to come. Next year Trevor will probably be trying to pull christmas decorations off the tree. It's hard to believe it is christmas time already. Last year this time Trevor was with us but we didn't know it yet.

Trevor reached for daddy today

Yesterday, while I was at work, Trevor was much more vocal according to Travis. He said that Trevor even gave a few giggles. I have been doing everything possible today to get Trevor to laugh. But so far all I have gotten has been some big grins. It is so cute when he smiles! His mouth opens really wide and his nose wrinkles up! I ~will~ get a laugh today!!!
While I had him looking over my shoulder Travis came behind me and was talking to him. Trevor actually reached for Daddy's face. He did this several times. I would consider this his first reach as he actually reached out for him. He has grabbed stuff but usually only when it is near to his hands.

Why I created this blog

So, Since I changed myspace blogs to private, a few of my friends have wanted to catch up on what we've been up to. So, I'm going to cut and paste those posts over to blogger. :o) So the next bunch of posts will be oldies. Not that I've been blogging for all that long, or that much. I'm also bringing over my old posts from MSN spaces. Me thinks it would be a good idea to have all of my blogs in one space. :o)

So here is the first "spaces" flashback for your reading pleasure.

Why I created this blog
I decided to create this site as a means to keep track of the happenings in our life. I had every intent of keeping a journal of what is going on in Trevor's life so that some day I can look back and remember some of the tidbits that I'm sure I'll soon forget. Some of the memories of his first days have already started to fade. : (
So ~hopefully~ I will be able to keep up with this and write a little each day. I'm sure that is not likely to happen. I have learned that being a working mother to a young baby definately has it's challenges. My free time is much less than it used to be, but that's ok! I wouldn't have it any other way. I love spending time with my little guy.
