Week 48 – Day 1

I totally lose track of days, some of these pictures feel like they were from yesterday. To address auntletty’s question – the energy shots do work in the moment to wake you up, but they are terrible to use. I have an iron stomach and can eat just about anything and the energy shots give me acid reflux.
I had to use them for the weekend to stay up with Brendan and I still had a hard time staying awake, and then for the next few days (including today), I have had horrible caffeine withdrawal headaches.
If you have an urgent need to stay up, they work. Otherwise don’t even try them! If you are just physically exhausted or already on tons of coffee everyday, they won’t do a whole lot of good. And they taste nasty!!

All that aside, on to the cuteness. Trevor is trying to figure out how to escape baby jail. Music Fish just wasn’t giving him enough of a boost.

So bored, it is a shame this place has nothing to play with

Brendan had a tough night of poor sleep and was tired this morning.

By the late afternoon, he had a good nap and woke up feeling a bit more like his silly self.

Trevor is going to take care of the suctioning. He likes machines.

He also likes clanging the beads on the wood floor as he crawls around.

Right before Trevor went to bed, we took both boys out for a trial of their new stroller. It was still too hot outside to go far. But I think they liked it.

Brendan did 5 hours of mist and an hour of HME today! Go Brendan!

Week 47 – Day 7

Quick update – Brendan was feeling a bit lethargic and extra suctiony today. (that’s a word in this house). He is feeling the drug change from Friday. He did do a good job for physical therapy today. He has made good progress, even with the surgery in the way. His new priorities are tummy time, tummy time, tummy time. He needs to improve his tummy time skills and weight bearing in his knees and legs.

He is good at kicking his legs! He still has plenty of silly in him this week.

Trevor has sore gums and hits some seriously cranky spells that you wouldn’t believe. He has a mad little growl/scream that makes him sound possessed.

I don’t know what is cuter: Trevor’s “begging for a bite of your dinner” face…

…or Trevor’s little chew face

Hopefully Trevor’s tooth that is bothering him will pop in!

Week 47 – Day 6

It has been a very long weekend with very little sleeping, so it is a quick blog tonight with some cute pictures.

Trevor didn’t want to nap this afternoon and he was pretty cranky all day. We finally discovered why he doesn’t want to sleep!

Did I mention that he was up and ready to go at 5am? Of all days not to sleep until at least his regular time of 6:50am.

Two naughty cellmates in baby jail

Brendan decided to do everything he could to keep Daddy from playing xbox.

He’s getting stronger every day! (still he does not sit unsupported, but soon!)

We tried an experiment tonight. We put a tub in a tub so that Brendan could go crazy with his wild kick-splashes. The last few nights, he has really soaked the living room. He thought the new surrounds were interesting, but he did not splash as much.

I am looking forward to bed!
