This morning, Bill had to go to the dentist (the best thing to do on your birthday, of course). While he was gone, I attempted to take an awesome birthday picture that I could use to surprise him later. The boys were just not in to it! They were very distractible and Trevor was hungry!
I could only get one smile at a time and they almost never looked at the camera, they are learning!
Lil B says “oh no Trevor, you are going to ruin it!”
“c’mon Trevor!!”
CHOMP!
I guess we are done with the signs!
“You know you look ridiculous, bro”
“Hey, look in the mirror, bro!”
Morning antics aside, we had a seriously uneventful day. Brendan was taking advantage of a tired Daddy.
Then at 4:30PM, we took the boys both to the pediatrician for their 9 month checkup and SHOTS!
Trevor was 20lbs 9oz and 30inches long! That puts him in the 90-95% for height and 45-50% for weight. He is long and skinny! He eats everything in sight, the doctor said start giving him table food.
I had a baked potato with butter and cheese on it tonight and I will tell you that Trevor thought that was mighty tasty even though he did not like the plain mashed potatoes the other day!
I was so proud of Trevor, he only had to get one shot in the leg and he did not even cry! He was a good boy. The doctor said that he has three more teeth right about to break through – the other bottom one and the two on top!
The doctor was extra proud of Brendan. He needed four shots today and handled it like a champ. He only cried a short time and then fell asleep for the ride home. Brendan was 18lbs 12oz and 28.3 inches long. That puts him at 45-50% for height and about 20% for weight. But he is on the charts! It is a good thing.
To wrap things up, here is a little video from today of the double trouble just doing their things.
Happy Birthday (again), Bill! I love your birthday cupcakes!! We all got a birthday gift with those cute pictures.
WOW on the boys’ checkups today! They are both looking good, and it sounds like they are doing great, too. Brendan will catch up when he gets a little more muscle from his therapy. Trevor is active enough for two right now anyway! 3 more teeth coming! Popcorn next week?? 🙂
Thank you for a great video. I watched it 4 times tonight, tomorrow is another day!
Lots of love to you all, including the birthday boy,

Happy Birthday to Daddy! Those are some mighty tasty looking cupcakes, but I don’t think I want my cupcake filled with cheesy baked potato =). I am so glad to see both boys getting such good check-ups from the doctor. Brendan is certainly making up lost ground, and Trevor is just going to be a tall guy like Daddy. My favorite part is the video. You can watch the wheels turning in Trevor’s head as he is trying to figure out how to let go of the cube and get over to Daddy. His feet dance around, he looks at them like “why don’t you guys move right”, and then tries again. He will be walking so soon! Brendan may have a future in men’s butterfly – he has the frog kick down pat! Watch out Michael Phelps!
