Year 2 – Week 9 – Day 4

Tonight should be the last night for some time that we don’t have night nurse coverage. Our new night nurse is going to work Sat-Wed and then we will have our normal Thu-Fri help. We were cleared by the state for at least another 90 days of nursing support, and most likely 90 more after that. As Brendan spends more and more time off the ventilator, he will possibly not qualify for coverage.

In a continued effort to help Brendan do new things and escape his little corner of the room, Bill built him a “pillow fort” on the end of the couch. He LOVED it.

Trevor was trying to figure out what was going on and why he was not invited.

Brendan likes being safe from Trevor attacks. Trevor can’t steal his toys in the pillow fort.

He still did plenty of floor time with tummy time, kneeling and standing practice with his monster pillow.

Trevor relentlessly pursues the camera to click the LCD screen button.

He does an awful lot of “talking” lately and comes out with some of the funniest sounds and makes these long sentences. Sometimes I wonder what goes through his little head though, he is one strange baby!

“Gee, Mom, I don’t know who threw all of those green beans on to the floor. If our dogs were normal dogs, you never would have seen them.”

I am going to make some coffee and figure out what quiet project to work on while the boys sleep. (and they had better stay asleep!!)

  1. Too many funny things. Trevor’s look that says “I will find a way into the pillow fort. Just wait”. Brendan’s toothy smile and him laughing in the background as Trevor tries to get to the camera. Trevor face planting and then biting the pillow at the end of the video. Lots of silliness going on. Hope they slept through the night for you!

  2. Hope they stayed asleep and you got some time to relax. Beth talked like that until she was about 2 1/2 and then started talking in full sentences and has not stopped since. The fort looks wonderful but I’l just bet Trevor will figure out how to get up on it very soon.

  3. Merry Christmas Eve! We will miss you at our Christmas Eve dinner. I could overnight Trevor some prime rib, since he likes his meat!
    The pictures and video are really cute. You can see that Brendan loves his fort. I can see future pictures with 2 boys in the fort! Or maybe 2 forts!
    I love baby babble. They know what they are saying! Some things sound exactly like real words.
    Your house is beginning to look like a Toys R Us!! 🙂 Too bad the boys have nothing to play with!
    I miss you all, and send lots of hugs and kisses.
    Love, Gramma
