Year 2 – Week 21 – Day 2

I have a ton of Trevor pictures tonight, but Brendan also had a really awesome day. We played outside for at least 3 hours before it started getting too hot. It got to 95 degrees again today. Fortunately, this heat spell is short and it should be back to nice upper 70’s again for a while. It is way too soon to be summer!

The boys came in sweaty and tired so I let them watch a show while I got lunch ready.

Brendan had speech therapy and cried through the whole thing. Once Bill was done working, Trevor and I ran to the store for some things to do tomorrow while Bill is gone all day.
I am sure this is the face Superman would make if his mom made him go to the store.

It was hot, but I stopped at the park on the way home and let Trevor get some more of his wiggles out.

I caught the moment of impact completely by accident. He was sitting on the ground and tried to stand up. He didn’t quite have his balance when he took his hands off the ground and he went back down on his forehead. He didn’t even cry a bit, but he had a pretty nice road rash. (The ground is that spongey recycled-tires bouncy stuff)

He kept right on cruisin’!

When we got home, Brendan was working on his crawling again! He gets stronger by the minute.

Poor Trevor and his fresh wound

“It’s Shake’N Bake and I helped!”

If only Brendan could learn a thing or two about eating from his brother!

He loves his pork chops!

Year 2 – Week 21 – Day 1

It was a beautiful morning and so as soon as Trevor was done eating breakfast, he wanted the door open so that he could be outside!

Brendan was all over the place too, reaching big for toys and things

You can tell he was rotating around on his butt, he was sitting in a coil of tube!

Sillies

This is a long video, but it is full of cool stuff: some huge accomplishments, a “helpful” brother, a takedown, some tug of war, and some serious cuteness and naughtiness. All the odd sounds are coming from an app on the phone called “Baby Rattle”.

We enjoyed being outside for hours this morning, but it got up to 96 this afternoon!!!!!!!!! I hope this is just an odd week and that it isn’t going to jump straight from winter to summer. We like outside too much to have it get so hot already. I will have to go get a baby pool!

Year 2 – Week 20 – Day 7

Technically, Wednesdays should be the easiest day of the week. In reality, it was a great day but it was busy and exhausting.

Trevor decided to wake up right after Bill left for the office at 5:45 this morning and he was up for the day. We had to take Brendan to the pediatrician for his next round of his RSV protection shots and Trevor had to ride along. That all went very smoothly!

Trevor says, “bye mom, see you at snacktime”

He loves being outside

Brendan shows off some fancy footwork

He was not happy about having to stop playing to go to the doctor

Brendan has had an awesome day even with getting a big shot in each thigh. The boys had good play time.

Brendan has been watching Trevor eat the letters from the alphabet game and had to give it a try

Brendan wore his speaking valve for 2 solid minutes today! Twice! He didn’t cry at all, he enjoyed getting out some noises. It was quite a pleasant surprise, we will keep working on it every day.
He was happy to get all the attention and clapping!
