We had a rough start to the morning. I didn’t want to get out of bed, Brendan was really unhappy, and Trevor was just getting in to everything like crazy while my hands were full!
Brendan actually went back to sleep for about 25 minutes and then woke up the second time feeling better. He played in his pillow fort and did his own thing for a while.
Trevor was just bonkers so I had to put “The Lorax” on again. It makes him relax and then he plays nice with his toys. It is odd. I didn’t want him to just loaf all morning and then not be able to nap later, so I had him scooting back and forth or chomp n clacking the whole movie. It worked, he played nice and then later took a 2.5hr nap!
He likes to push it around as much as ride on it because it is light and he can turn it himself. We have to turn the chomp n clack around for him.
He is parking his scooter in “the garage”
But then he flips it out of his way so he can crawl through his “tunnel”. One of Trevor’s new favorite things is crawling through things, especially under legs.
Brendan was so drooly, he went through 3 outfits and then I finally gave up and he stayed naked. He was a bit clingy today and just wanted someone to hold him.
Trevor thinks he is just the walking pro now and is going to carry buckets around.
Brendan pulled a stunt today that was pretty funny. He was sitting on the ground and he was so determined to try to crawl, he leaned way forward. His legs get stuck so he was trying to get them around to get on his knees. He got his butt in the air and one foot under but he pushed too high. He toppled to the side and the momentum flipped him all the way over to his back. He was startled and MAD!!! But we clapped and say “YAY!!!” because it was a really cool tumble!!
We have started watching “Baby Signing Time” videos to work on teaching the boys sign language. Brendan has been watching some with his nurse for a while, but today we put it on the iPad for Trevor to watch.
With just one viewing, Trevor signed ‘bird’, ‘dog’, and ‘horse’ because he loved seeing all the babies in the video do it and he copied. It was awesome.
The videos are really good with insanely catchy music!
Good morning from the snowy East Coast!! Brendan and Trevor it has been so much fun reading all the cousins’ blogs this morning!! Caleb sends us weather reports via facebook, Ashley and Kayla have fine entertainment, Kieran has the handsomest (sp?) cheeks ever and both of you are definitely in motion!! Trevor, watching you…I am ready for a nap!! Brendan, so glad that your little back to sleep nap resulted in the “fun-tumbling” Brendan, leaving “crabby” Brendan behind. Keep up the gymnastics Brendan, your super strong heart will just get stronger!! 🙂 Sending prayers, love and many hugs!! 🙂
How funny – right before I read this post I was reading about baby sign language! There was no word though for poopslosion. 🙂
YAY Brendan! Cool tumbles are all part of the process.
I read the blog to Kieran everyday so that he can stay up to date on what his cousins are up to.
