Year 2 – Week 18 – Day 1

It is unusual for Bill to be in the office on a Thursday so I was totally thrown off and had no idea what day it was. Brendan’s night nurse stayed until noon again to help out. It makes a huge difference in the morning.

I had just enough fleece material left from the projects in the boys’ bedroom that I was able to cover the two new chairs and one of the ottomans with a quick slip cover. I made one late last night and one this morning because Trevor slept in until 8:30am!! It was crazy. He was up a couple of times during the night so he must have been tired!
I love this fleece but it totally does not work in the living room, and I actually really liked the plain chocolate brown on the chairs. I will look for a better material but in the meantime, at least the chairs are protected! Brendan’s chair has a chux pad under the cover so it is doubly protected!

I was trying to get a cute picture of Brendan in his chair but I was just in the way of his Yo Gabba Gabba!

They both still really like their chairs!

Brendan did lots of tummy time on the floor this afternoon. He finally was able to get his knee under himself all by himself. He is really motivated to get mobile!

Back to keeping the babies occupied by doing something totally new and different, Trevor got his tools and took apart the jungle!

Brendan just watched and chewed a wrench.

This is what the jungle saucer is meant to do when the babies outgrow it. It should be a play table that they can walk up to. Not only was it far too big like this, but it was incredibly unstable. Trevor was trying to climb on it to get over the fence, he was pulling it over, moving it around, crawling underneath it and messing up the legs.
The jungle was very cool and we definitely got our use out of it, but it is time to say goodbye! Right now, I moved it to Trevor’s room until we decide what to do with it.

Brendan says, “Enough work, bring on the afternoon movie!!” (We watched The Little Mermaid)

He loves Ursula the Sea Witch singing.

I put the chairs together to see if the boys would play in their little “boat”

They were both being very silly

Evidence of silliness in video. I love the way Brendan tries to get Trevor’s attention. He can push a little sound past his trach and he makes a little honk like a silly little goose.

Something else really huge happened today. That poor little priority mail package that I mailed on January 29th finally made it to Gramma’s doorstep! She had to send me a picture or I wasn’t going to believe it!

The funniest part was when she opened the box, Trevor had slipped in a present of his own that I didn’t know about (His little purple baby spoon from lunch that day!) He knew Gramma collected spoons and I guess he wanted her to have it. She had to hang it in one of her spoon cabinets just for him!

We are all just relieved that the package arrived safely!

  1. First, I want to say Thank You so much for my package! I love it!! I am so happy it finally arrived safe and sound. You obviously worked very hard and long on it, and I would have been so upset if it had been lost for good. You are so very talented and I am so lucky to benefit from that! 🙂
    Every time you post a video of the boys, I think it is the cutest thing ever, but then you post another one, and it tops the last one! Brendan is so cute trying to get Trevor’s attention, and Trevor is hysterical falling off of his chair. Great slipcovers, by the way!
    Bye bye Jungle! It was a well-used and well-loved exersaucer. Your living room won’t be the same without it!
    Trevor is quite a little handyman! He will be able to help Daddy build the new office! 😉
    I’m sure Brendan would supervise the job if he could!
    Loved all of the pictures today, not that I don’t love them every day!
    Love and extra hugs for my gift,
    Gramma

  2. What a buzy productive daytime day and what talent with the slip covers, whish you lived closer, looking for someone tto make one for a chair. Love the pictures of the bays, they really seem to like their new chairs. The video is so cute. Keep up the great work

  3. That little purple spoon, has probably traveled farther than any other spoon in the cabinet, and they have a ‘ few ‘ miles on them !!
    ‘ Priority Mail ‘ : one must understand the postal definition of Priority.
    ‘ Package Receipt Is Overdue Retroactively In Ten Years ‘
    It got there early. 😮 😮 🙂 🙂 🙂
