Brendan had such a miserable night, I felt so bad and I just tried to keep him comfortable, but there wasn’t too much I could do. Withdrawal is a terrible thing. His day wasn’t much better. We are grateful for the little bucket swing that calmed him enough to sleep.

It is hard to look in to this face all day and not have the ability to make it better.

He finally got to a point where he was able to get a nice deep sleep.

He did find his bath to be soothing and was able to relax tonight a bit. He seems to be doing a little better, but still is uncomfortable now as he tries to go to sleep. Daddy is rocking him.

Trevor is cute and awesome. In comparison, he had a fabulous day.

Gramma cuddles and tickles him. She is checked in on her flight for tomorrow afternoon. After 8 weeks with us, she finally has to go home.

Trevor is trying to figure out if his laptop can video chat so he can talk to the family in IL

We also have a little news that we have been waiting to share about what happened at Gramma’s birthday party. She got an extra big surprise!

She could not believe that this happened two years in a row!

Brendan and Trevor are going to have a new younger cousin in January!!! Congratulations Aunt Schnah and The Bearded One!!

Another Saturday comes and goes and it is our night awake all night with no nurse. Brendan is having a miserable withdrawal night tonight, after a whole day of no smiles. We didn’t take any pictures until the last minute, but couldn’t get him to even ham for the camera. He is tired now and just uncomfortably fighting sleep while Gramma tries to rock him.

We can’t wait until all the weaning is over and he can feel better.

Trevor had a good day and went to bed early after skipping out of his afternoon nap again. Just as I was about to try to sell the baby swing, I remembered that it came with a tray that clicks on it. Trevor hasn’t been able to sit in the swing because he tries to sit up and hang over and I was worried about him falling. With the tray clicked in, he is definitely much more secure.

He was excited about the tray being something new

It is like a roller coaster ride… wheee!

Something else new today, Trevor got to try a slice of avocado. He tried it.. and he liked it!

He enjoyed mushing it in his fingers just as much as eating it.

The boys were really hoppin’ today and feeling silly.

Brendan really loves to watch Trevor, especially when Trevor talks.

Today, Trevor got an introduction to credit cards

Trevor the Magnificent uses all of his might to try to make the credit cards disappear. If his magic could eliminate debt, he would be the most popular guy ever.

Trevor’s magic healing powers need work too

And then the pinching begins

Trevor tries for the mind meld

The boys just like hanging out

All the boys like hanging out

Brendan LOVED his bath tonight. We had to take a picture of his stoma while we were cleaning and changing his ostomy base. It won’t be too much longer and that will be just a memory!

Just look at him go! He was creating some tsunamis in the living room.

And earthquakes in the bed

I tried to catch a video of him laughing, you can hear his little giggle on the inside. (only 2 seconds of video, listen close!)
