Nom Nom Nom

Soooo, we are eating now! The pediatrician said we are ready and good to go if we want to! She was happy with his strength and motor skills. He is hold his head up very well now and is very interested in our meals so we gave it a try.  We thought it might coat his belly, make him more full and help him sleep longer too. We started him with cereal and he was a little hesitant at first, not about the food but about 'this wierd spoon object' being pushed into his mouth. We learned that it takes a while to figure out the whole spoon thing. He wasn't loving the plain cereal but when we spiced it up with bananas he was all over it. He literally will dive into the spoon at times. I tried to capture this moment on video but of course the minute I record he stops.. so just try to picture it.. with his hands spread wide like he is flying (he does that when he is excited), mouth wide open and diving very quickly head first into the spoon. He cracks us up. He gets SO excited for his cereal.

We recieved this whole chart from the pediatrician about the order in which to feed them different foods. And, apparently we were supposed to start with veggies, then go to fruits after this cereal.. well, we already kind of screwed that up so he is getting a nice cornacopia of goodness :)

All that said, he is doing great. I can't believe this lil' guy was the one that was just in my tummy kicking around and now he is out, talking (not english.. but we will get there) and eating! unbelieveable.. it's already going so quickly. But, we are having SO much fun experimenting with him haha.. the first child is always the ginny pig, right mom? thats what happened to me.. :)

Have a good weekend! Thanks for reading.

Father & Son

Melts my heart so I just had to share..

4 months old!

We just had his 4 month dr appt and he is 16 lbs, 25 3/4 inches tall and in the 85 percentile for head circumference/size. He's a big boy with a big noggin! But, very healthy and growing consistently. The doc was pleased with his strength, rolling over, tracking sounds and other developmental progress. He got two more shots and an oral immunization.. He did great.. I think it hurt me more than him. He's growing so quick and we are loving each stage/month.. Each new noise, facial expression etc is 'the cutest thing we have ever seen' and so much fun. I want him to stay this little forever but grow up and talk to me and play basketball with Shaun at the same time ;) look at how much he has changed in just 4 short months.. Time flies when your having fun!

Trenton Update

Wow, we can't believe almost 4 months have FLOWN by.. I know I abandoned this site and i'm sorry about that but i'll try to do updates and posts randomly when I think about it.

Trenton is growing SO quickly and is just more and more fun each day. He is giggling, talking/coo-ing upa storm, bouncing, standing, teething & tooting etc haha. SOO much fun. I am obviously back at work now and hating leaving him each day but the G-ma's (GiGi LaBarre & Nani (sp?) Engle) are enjoying their time with him, thank God for them. I can't get home quick enough to see him each day. I am so lucky to have both of the G'ma's so close and able to watch him and love him when we can't. He is totally content and doesn't even know i'm gone (yet)... but i'm sad. He just plays all day. He is just LOVING all of his toys, walkers, jumpers, colorful animals etc. Everything is so fun and exciting to him.. it's a kick.

He is not a picky or whiny baby by any means. We were so blessed with an extremely mellow tempered lil' guy... for those of you whom have met him can attest to that. He is SO good and so darn cute. We just can't get enough of his smell and kisses.. we find ourselves staring at him. That's normal, right? What an amazing gift from God. I couldn't think of anything better. We LOVE our new life with him and as parents. Our whole perspective has totally changed. Things that once mattered, don't. We now know what life is all about and the incredible love and joy you feel as a parent. We are so happy and fulfilled with life and know that it is just going to get better, which is so exciting. We now understand why people do this over and over again :) Can't wait to grow our family even bigger!

Here's a couple of quick pics ... they arent beautiful by any means but he's so darn cute it doesn't matter :) We really need to get better at the whole picture & video thing, now that we are parents. I feel like that is a requirement. We have taken so many videos of the most exciting/funny things to us at the time then we watch them back and wonder why we took them. Everything is just SO neat for the first time. I guess thats the beauty of the first child.. Anyways, enjoy!

  

Vid of his first real laugh.. thanks Aunty Paige for capturing the moment!

Just thought I would share a couple of quick pics and update for those of you we don't get to see much. Thanks for tuning in.. again ;-)

Lots of love,
