Baseball Game

This last Saturday my work provided us a game to the minor league team in Frisco, The Rough Riders. It's always nice getting together with people from work in a causal environment and getting to meet everyone's families. David, unfortunately, had to work that night so it was just Trent and me at the game. Ever since Trent has started walking, it's been really hard to get him to sit for a long period of time so we spent most of our time walking around and visiting with other people. Overall,we had a really good time and Trent was so busy he was exhausted by time we left that he slept really good that night! He's such a busy little guy!

A long weekend

Last Thursday my dad, stepmom and little sister drove through Dallas to visit us on their way to Lubbock. We had such a good time even though the visit was short. We had David's mom and stepdad along with Grandma Fleta, over for some dinner, which everyone was very surprised by David and I cooking that they had to get a picture :-) Dinner turned out great and we just relaxed for the rest of the evening. Early Friday afternoon, Brittany and I hung out at the pool for a little bit and since I rarely get to lay out, I burnt pretty bad. They left Friday afternoon and got Brittany all settled in her new little home at Texas Tech. It was really nice having a few extra days off work and I had a great time hanging out with David & Trent! Now, our little guy is fully walking all over the place and is starting to try to say some words, or it sounds like some. I had to add this picture of Trent with his bouncy seat. Even though every time he sits in it, it looks like it's going to fall apart, he absolutely loves this chair!! He pushes and pulls it around with him and the other day he was having a blast sitting backwards making it bounce! Silly little guy!!

Breakfast and Naps Part 2

Our poor little guy was sick last Thursday all the way until Saturday night with a horrible fever. Ever since then his schedule has been all out of wack so he's been very cranky and tired. The other day, while he was eating breakfast, he feel asleep again! I know people get tired after a good meal but this is just too funny!!

Lasagna...yummy!

Last night we had some lasagna for dinner so we stripped down Trent's high chair, put a plastic cover underneath him and let him go to town! He really enjoyed his dinner and actually didn't get as dirty as we thought he would. The after pictures were pretty entertaining so I thought I would share them. After dinner he got a good bath that took some extra scrubbing :-)

Our weekend fun

This weekend Trent and I stayed very busy! On Saturday afternoon we made a trip to the pool with some of his little buddies. They had fun in floating around the kiddy pool since it was shallow enough for them to reach and some what walk around in. We also went into the big pool, which I think scared him a little bit because he clinged on to me so much I barely had to hold him!! Overall, he really enjoys the water, whether it's bath time, the pool or the lake. He absolutely loves splashing around. Then today one of my girlfriends and I went to check out this place in Frisco called Wiggles. It's a place for all aged kids and they have slides, play areas, bounce areas and a section for babies 0-18 months old. In that area they had foam type blocks to stack and a mini slide and area to climb, some chairs and table but Trent was the most entertained chasing around the bouncy balls with the some of the other kids. He did continue to work on his walking and would take a good 3-4 steps around before falling.

Baby Steps...

For about the past week Trent has been standing by himself; he'll pull himself up and then just stand for a minute or so before he falls. Sunday and yesterday he kept trying to make step attempts but would just fall over, so last night when I got home from work David and I sat on the floor to see if he would take a few steps to us and boy did he!!! He kept going back and forth to us a few times until he got too worn out. I'm just so happy that we both could be there to see him do this for the first time even though I'm sure this is just the beginning :-)

July 4th

For Trent's first July 4th we went out to our sister in law's parent's house. We had a really good time! During the early evening we all just hung out, the older kids played in the lake while the babies had fun playing in the bounce house. They didn't fully understand the concept of actually bouncing in it but still had fun just hanging out. After it finally got dark some of the guys put together a wonderful firework show for everyone. All the babies did great with the fireworks, except Trent. After crying for the first couple of minutes he finally calmed down and started some what enjoying them. Of course everytime one went off he would cling to David or me like no tomorrow!!

Play Room

One of the best parts of now having a home is the extra room! We have made our second living area into the play room and Trent and our friends kids love it! Lately, Trent will go in there and just start playing by himself with all of his toys. The other day I found him in the corner of the room behind his exersaucer just playing with the toys on it. Today we put together the ball pit my sister in law is letting us borrow and he was already playing with it before I had it fully together!!

Two little teeth...

After months and months of teething Trent finally got two little teeth on the bottom!! He's gums have been swollen on and off since he was about 2 or 3 months old and even at his six month check up the doctor predicted they would be out in a couple of weeks but not until a few days ago did we see them break through. It is amazing how well Trent slept the next few nights after getting them but we know we have many more teething pains to go through until he's finished getting them all.

Summer Fun

In the town of Little Elm, every Friday night they have a mini concert at the local lake. People bring their kids, dogs, food and just hang out and have some fun. I took Trent into the lake for the very first time and boy did he have a blast!! As soon as I put him on the "beach" area he started crawling around in amazement by the new textured ground. Then I brought him into the water and he loved splashing around and even tried crawling in the water! I knew how much he loved bath time but I sure didn't think he would take to the lake like this. It was so much fun watching him in this new environment and love it. By the way, to the people who have seen how he puts EVERYTHING into his mouth, yes he did eat a little bit of sand :-)
