Thank You Grandmas.....

Dear Grandma Diane and Grandma Teresa,

Thank you for taking good care of me while my mommy is at work. I hope you like the little sign I made!

Love,

Trevor

It's not supposed to happen like this!

I officially went back to work this week. I had it all planned out to be a smooth transition. I typed up a schedule for Trevor including approximate nap times and toys he likes to play with. I had my clothes all laid out for the entire week. Everything was good to go....then my poor child came down with his first official COLD. Of course it happened the night before I went back to school. Thank goodness that Grandma Diane has been taking care of him the last few days! I think after 4 days of saline, tylenol and nose sucking....he's getting better!

Seriously Cool!

Trevor got to wear his new sunglasses last weekend. I think the title of the blog describes his look....seriously cool!

New Toy for the Boy

I decided to purchase this Jumperoo last week. I debated about it because he already has an Exersaucer and I thought that they were pretty much the same idea. Boy was I wrong!

This Jumperoo was worth every penny. It looks so fun, I actually want to slide right into the plush froggy seat and jump around a little bit. I mean, think of the calories that would burn. Trevor already LOVES this thing. He hasn't quite grasped the idea of bouncing up and down on his legs, but he's licked, drooled, and sucked on all the toys. Such fun!

TKO...KNOCKOUT!

Has anyone ever changed a crib sheet and seriously thought about leaving the dirty sheet on the crib and never changing it again? This picture shows my battle with Trevor's crib sheet this afternoon. 30 minutes later and after breaking a solid sweat the sheet was actually back on the crib with the bumper in place.

Say Cheese

Basically I just think this is the CUTEST PICTURE EVER!

Those of you that have ever had a 4 month old know it is nearly impossible to capture a smile on their face by the time that the flash on the freakin' camera actually goes off. Here is how it works....

1. Sit child up on your lap.

2. Ohh and ahh at them until they smile.

3. Think "Shoot, the camera is over there in the office."

4. Jump up and run to the office hoping that your child is still in the smiling mood when you return with the camera.

5. By the time you get them to smile again, you press the button and they are not smiling in the picture.

6. Try it 7 or 8 more times until they are crying and you have given up on the smiling picture.

Happy Anniversary

Football Practice

As many of you know, I start back to school in a little over a week. Since none of your children will be in my class this year, I can honestly tell you I am less than excited about going back to work. This afternoon I had to go to my classroom to do some preparing for the little darlings to arrive and left Trevor to play with his daddy while I was gone. When I got home from my school, I discovered Trevor on the couch and Brad actually throwing a football (don't worry it was a soft one) to him on the couch and showing him how to catch it with his arms up. Brad is convinced that he is capable of putting his arms up and protecting his face from the ball. Me on the other hand, I witnessed the soft ball hit his face a few times and decided that football practice should be over. It was pretty darn cute, I must admit!
