Smile!

Over the last week or so Trent has started to smile. At first he would only smile after his bottle but lately he's started smiling here and there. It's hard to get a picture because whenever I grab the camera he stops and stares at me like I'm crazy. This is the cloest I've been able to get and even in this one he moved his hand in front of his mouth. Yesterday was one of the most rewarding moments I've had from Trent. My mom watched him overnight on Saturday and I went to go pick him up from her house yesterday, when I got there and picked him up and said hi to my little guy he flashed me a huge smile! I am really going to miss spending so much time with him when I have to go back to work but I am trying to treasue each and everyday we have right now.

The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday I took Trent out to the pumpkin patch for some pictures. It was a little chilly so we only got a couple pictures in. I think he really enjoyed fitting in with the pumpkins in his Halloween costume.

Our little Burrito

Last time we went to the doctor we found out that Trent is colicky. The doctor gave us some information and a new formula to try to help soothe him. One of the main things she suggested was to swaddle the baby since it reminds them of being in their mommy's belly. Well, for the life of us, David and I cannot keep him swaddled in a blanket without him wiggling out of it within seconds. Some people had bought us these swaddle blankets as gifts that at first were a bit confusing but after playing with them I figured out how to get him swaddled nice and tightly where he can't wiggle out. It really seems to work! He's been sleeping so much better since we've been doing this. When he's all wrapped up we think he looks like a little Trent Burrito.

Playtime

Trent is staying awake longer now and sometimes will sit there and just take in all of his surroundings. One thing he enjoys is laying on his gymini looking and hitting his toys. I don't think he fully comprehends that he's making them move when he hits them but it's really fun to watch him take it all in.

A weekend with the grandparents

This weekend was David's 10 year high school reunion so Trent got a weekend with his grandparents. Friday night my mom kept him and then Saturday David's mom had him. Saturday was his first overnight not at home and a little hard but very nice to get some sleep!! Here are some pictures that the grandma's took of Trent while he was visiting with them. The one on the left is from Grandma Pam's house and the one on the right is from Grandma Becky's house. I think all the grandparents had a great time with Trent this weekend.

The Bird

I know this might be inapporiate but David and I just found it kind of humorous. The other day while feeding Trent I noticed he had just only one of his fingers sticking straight up at me. You think he would have been happy since he was eating :-)

He is getting more and more alert and has discovered new noises besides crying. His neck is getting stronger and stronger and he can keep his head up for awhile now.

Meeting Grandpa

Trent's grandpa came in from Houston on Sunday to meet him. It was a very nice visit and unfortunately grandpa had to go back home today. It was so much fun seeing the two of them together. Trent can't wait to see him and his grandma and aunts again at Thanksgiving!!
