So today was nowhere near as nice as yesterday! The boys both decided that they did me enough favors and that today they would be cranky. I took Trevor grocery shopping this morning to try to wear him out for another nice long nap, but that didn’t work. He started to pitch a fit and we had to leave before I was really done shopping.
He ate a good lunch and took a two hour nap, so it wasn’t too bad. He had a good afternoon but then got ridiculously bratty tonight and demanded to eat really early. He gobbled down a HUGE dinner. He was up for a while then and went to bed pretty easily.

Brendan had a rough morning and cried and refused to do anything during his PT today. He then had a nice and relatively quiet day where he did all the things he was supposed to show his therapist. Like the fact that he scooted himself back off of his floor pad on to the wood.

My good camera had a dead battery so I had to put it on the charger and use a cheap little camera. It is a great tiny camera except it doesn’t do well in low light, like in my living room in the evening. So it is a big old picture fail today.

Trevor says, “New camera? What can I push!?”

Low light + crappy camera = blurry action shots! Trevor jumps on the couch like a spazz.

Brendan was just minding his own business and sorting shapes.

Really, I don’t even know!

Good camera tomorrow!

Today was very nice! Brendan is having withdrawal issues but is coping with them. His nurse was here today instead of Monday because of the holiday so he got lots of one-on-one Trevorless play time and attention. Trevor had a great day with a fun outing. Little Kieran is super-duper and Gramma had a safe flight and immediately began the smothering process.

Once she got the cutie away from his daddy, that is.

Since Trevor liked the park with the ducks so much, I took him this morning to an ultimate duck/bird park!

He loves the big ducks and the tiny cute little birds. There were too many pigeons though.

(this video might take a while to load, I had some tech issues and had to upload it full sized)
The ducks at this park are very brave. We threw them a couple of cheerios and then they were Trevor’s best buddies.

This park has a lot of really cool things that the boys just are not ready for, like a huge playland, a water spraying zone, and this cool tree to climb on.

We walked a loop around the mini-lake

And we made it back to the front just in time for the train to be running!

Choochoo! I should have thought to take cousin Caleb here while he was visiting.

We got home from the big outing, Trevor ate lunch and then went down for a 3.5hr nap! He was up for a while at 2:30 this morning, so he was pretty tired already. The fresh air must have done him in! He got up in a good mood and played with his bro for a while.

Brendan wants what Trevor has!

Brendan was in a good mood this afternoon too!

Trevor says, “You best not make a move for my milk!”

Brendan’s coordination and fine motor skills are improving quite a bit. He is using the shape sorter, stacking blocks, and figuring out how to pop up bugs.

I have to take Trevor out again tomorrow and do something to expend all his energy. That long nap was perfect for me to get lots of chores done!

Brendan and Trevor had a good day as we waited and waited and waited and waited to hear about the progress of little cousin to be.

He finally arrived tonight! Happy New Year Baby!!
Details are on his own blog site: Kieran Alexander

Super cute newborns can’t be beat, but here’s some silliness from my boys today.

Brendan is getting better and stronger! Watch out for this little guy, he is gearing up for some crawling!

Giving Trevor back a taste of his own medicine, stealing his toy car!

Oh boy! Already! If we take our eyes off of Trevor, he is going to end up outside!

He thinks he is a puppy anyway, so maybe he belongs in the yard!

Here is a collection of some of today’s Trevor antics. I like the “talking” he does. He is obviously cutting teeth big time, he bites EVERYTHING!
