It was a normal Monday at first. Brendan had a nurse so I wanted to get a lot done today. I took Trevor back to the big duck park to try to wear him out so that I could get a good nap out of him!
He really likes the ducks!
And he loves these weird little birds, I don’t know what they are.
His friend the mallard scared all of the pigeons away.
This park has a lot to offer. This miniature city of play is fairly new. It will be a lot of fun when the boys get bigger.
Once we were done giving cheerios to the ducks, we went to Target to try to find warm hoodies for both boys. We will take Brendan out to see the ducks soon too! We just needed something for them both to wear. I couldn’t find mittens at all, I will just have to make some for them!
Every time I load Trevor in his carseat, he gets very excited about the baby in the mirror.
The new van saw its first expl-“o”-sion today. I guess that is all part of breaking it in. It wasn’t Trevor’s fault. I spilled them because I didn’t ziplock the bag right. The birds in the Target parking lot loved it. By the time we were done shopping, the o’s were all gone.
We found the cutest hoodies!
The mask part is totally see-through and breathable. It also folds in to the hood perfectly if you don’t want to use it. Trevor thought it was funny!
Brendan did a lot of work on his PT again today with Jen. He is still coping very well with his withdrawal and still plays and smiles. He just has difficulty sleeping and needs to be held a lot. He takes lots of breaks from play.
Trevor did go down for a nice nap right after lunch but thanks to mister rev-the-engine-up-extra-loud UPS truck driver, it was over too early and Trevor woke up cranky! We were only able to calm him with some Backyardigans.
He didn’t pull himself up, no way! But look who is STANNNNNDINNNNG! (he loves when you say that, with a “yay! Brendan!”) His legs are getting much stronger to bear all that weight. He’s getting so big!
He does really well with the standing in the corner, but he gets scared when he doesn’t know how to get down! Daddy was there for the rescue.
Hopefully this week he will actually show his physical therapist all these new tricks!
WOW again, Brendan….STANDING!! Every day you are doing something new!! What nice pictures of you showing off your new “tricks”!
Trevor and Brendan, when your Mommy was very little like you, we would go see ducks, and sometimes geese! She loved to feed the ducks, too, but got a little frightened when one wanted to chase her! We lived in Virginia Beach then. It’s not like Arizona!
Your baby cousin, Kieran is getting stronger every day, and he likes to mostly eat and sleep, not you boys! You do a lot of fun playing, and have some very cool toys.
I like your new hoodie with its silly hood. I hope Brendan gets to visit the park soon. I hope they don’t make any sounds like tissue paper!! He wouldn’t like that!
As usual, the pictures are cute, and the video is very cute, too.
Sending you lots of hugs and kisses. Mommy will have to give them to you.
Love , Gramma
P.S. I’m glad Grandpa Jack us feeling a little better, he’s a very nice man.
Yay, Brendan!
It’s so nice to see Brendan on his feet like that! His therapist will be very surprised when he gets around to showing off. Love the hoodies!
