Trevor is 4 months

Today is Trevor's 4 month b-day! It has gone by soooo fast! He is such a good baby! He loves his Mommy, Daddy & big brother soo much! He is really paying attention to Jack now & giggles like crazy as Jack entertains him. I can still see the caution is his eye though when Jack gets rowdy...he still has that gear of being hit by a flying dino or monster. He enjoys grabbing my hair. He rarely leaves my arms without a handful of it. He is starting to drool...not sure if that means teeth are coming, or if it is just meaningless drool. Today at the doctor he weighed 15 pounds-13 ounces (75%), was 25 & 1/2 inches long (75%), and his head circumference was 41.8 (45%). They said he looked healthy & had met all the milestones a typical 4 month old should. As a comparison, at 4 months Jack was 14 pounds-14 ounces (45%), 25 inches long (55%), & his head was 42 (45%) in. around. So Trevor has Jack beat by 1 pound & 1/2 an inch. We will see how the battele continues as Trevor grows. I have a feeling he might be a little bigger boy than Jack??? So far so good with how Trev is handling his shots. I gave him Tylenol ahead of time this go round & he has been sleeping since we got home (3.5 hours & counting). I am keeping my fingers crossed he won't have a crying fit when he wakes up...my boys don't seem to handle the after effects of shots very well. Hopefully we will break that trend today :)

Videos I meant to post a couple weeks back...

This is Trevor at 3 &1/2 months...posting it a little late....

Jack can normally count to 20 easily...but I caught him skipping a few #'s this time & I thought it was too cute not to post.

Farsi

Since Jack was 20 months old he has been saying "FARSI" when he means to say "SORRY". "Farsi Mama" was a phrase commonly heard on a daily basis...until last week. He started saying sorry...it was a sad day for me! My little boy is growing up. He proceeded to tell me, "look at me when I am talking to you"...that, I did not appreciate quite as much :). Trevor is getting big too! He will be 4 months old tomorrow. He is giggling up a storm & is now sitting in his exersauser & jumper. He is such a happy baby & very easy going. He is sleeping 10-12 hours at night now consistently (finally). I am not sure how he went from only sleeping 3 hours at a time to 12, but I'll take it. My goal each day is for Jack & Trevor to nap at the same time. It works out sometimes...but other times not so much. Today, just as I put Jack down & was walking down the stairs to go lay down, guess who woke up. WAAAAAAAAA!!!! Tomorrow is Trevor's 4 month appt & shots. I'll post his stats tomorrow.

waterpark fun

We went to the Howard Moore splash park in Arlington with Nana, Olivia, Aunt Sharon, G-ma & pa. Jack & Olivia had a blast & I think Trevor had a good time too. It was his first time in the pool. When he wasn't in the pool he chilled in his carseat next to G-pa with icepacks all around him to keep him cool. It was a great day!

video clips

Not Jack's best ABC's but funny nonetheless...Jesus Loves Me-Poor kid got his mom's voice :)I was trying to get Trevor to giggle, but of course since I was recording he didn't. The video is kinda dark, but you can still see his sweet smile :) (3 months old)

4th of July

What a wonderful 4th we had this year! Mel, Josh & Tess came down for a weekend of family fun! They got inlate Thursday night. We hit the lake early Friday morning with all the kiddos. We thought we'd go early to miss some of the crowds. Jack had a blast! He loved the water this time & was ready to jump in and swim around. He did the tube with me & then again with Daddy & giggled the whole time. We even got it going pretty fast this time & he had a ball. Before we know it he will be out there riding it by himself. I took him & Tessa both out once, but she did not like it too much. I don't think she is quite ready for the lake yet. Trevor was a trooper & just hung out on the boat with Aunt Lissie (she is not a big lake person). The big boys had fun too just relaxing & enjoying the water! That evening we had a big family dinner at Nana's house. It was great getting everyone together. The boys played pool & us girls just talked & played with the kids. Saturday we played at the pool, ran some errands, Josh & Russ went to a movie, & then had a bbq at Nana's house that evening before going to the front of the neighborhood to watch the freworks. Jack LOVED the fireworks this year! He talked through the whole thing (as usual) giving a play by play of each one. I kinda felt bad for the people around us, but they seemed to think ie was cute...so who knows. Trevor enjoyed being held by everyone. It was a late night, but we had a good time. I am so glad Mel, Josh & Tess made the trip! It is always fun getting to see them!
