One Year Old

Tuesday, September 11th marked Trent's 1st Birthday! David and I were fortunate to have the whole day off so we could all hang out. In the morning I made breakfast for us all. I made Trent's favorite, blueberry pancakes and then bacon and scrabbled eggs. Now that he has hit the 1 year mark, some foods are allowed like eggs, so I wanted to see what he would think of them and he loved them!! After his nap, we had an appointment to get some family pictures done which turned out great! We hung around the mall and got some lunch and afterwards ended up heading home since Trent was ready for his next nap. That night we made a steak dinner with Trent's favorite veggie, green beans. He ate his dinner and then we had gotten him a mini cake to eat.I think he liked that one way more then the one I had made him because he was licking his fingers for the icing after eating it. Overall, we had a really nice day being able to hang out together and celebrate his birthday.

Yesterday, we had his 12 month appointment with the doctor and she said he's doing great. His weight is in the 90th percentile, height is in the 100th percentile and his head is in the 60th percentile.

Trent's Birthday Party

We are upon the time for Trent's first birthday and boy are the emotions flowing!! I'm so happy, sad, excited, proud and overall kind of overwhelmed that this first year has flown by and now my baby isn't really a baby anymore. We had his party yesterday and it was went really well. The theme we picked was Curious George, since that was the first movie Trent actually sat with me on the couch and watched without moving for a good 45 mins and also loves his tv show in the mornings. My sister in law has an amazing talent for making cakes, so she assisted and walked me through making Trent's and it turned out pretty good, especially for a first timer like myself. Trent really enjoyed eating it and wearing it as well. We had a ton of family show up, which was wonderful seeing everyone! I was very excited that my little sister was able to make it from school in Lubbock, as that was a very long drive for her. During present opening Trent got very distracted and really didn't want to sit there for long. His cousin, Brodie, helped us out by grabbing presents and helping Trent open them. Today, Trent has really been enjoying everything he got and has been playing non stop. We are extremely grateful for all people that are in our lives and have helped us with this first year as it truly has had it's ups and downs.

First hair cut

This last Saturday we took Trent to get his first hair cut that was very much needed! Overall, he did really good and was just a little squirmy but didn't cry or get scared. The lady who does my hair and her assistant had so much fun with him! The picture to the left is right before she cut it (look how long it was) and to the right is he final cut. He was such a good little guy he got a lollipop from which of course he loved!
