Today was looooong. I stayed up last night until about 1:15am and then Bill got up to take on his Brendan shift. But then wouldn’t you know it, someone decided that he was going to wake up at 4:15am today, have a little bottle and then be wide awake to crawl all over and play.
Trevor finally took a nap at almost 10am and since Brendan had a nurse, I was able to get a little nap in too while Bill was outside doing a ton of yardwork and other chores that had been building up.

Brendan was in a good mood and did an epic sprint today – 10.5 hours!!!

You would think Trevor would be tired tonight, but for some reason he just kept going and going and was just super wired and energetic. He did not go to bed until 9PM, and even then, he is still tossing and turning a bit in his sleep.

We are super tired, hopefully both boys sleep well tonight.

The crabby onesie is the only other outfit Trevor has that super-matches his little shoes!

Brendan was all about showing off today. Look at that tummy time!

He shows Trevor how to be cool in shoes

Trevor has started to be more interested in Brendan now that the face tape is gone.

They get some playtime now

Glow-toe chomp

4:30PM – still just sprinting away off the vent and doing more tummy time while video chatting with Aunt Shannon!

Trevor is very talented. He talked so much that he didn’t let Aunt Shannon get a word in edgewise! He loves to video chat.

Other than Trevor being up and ready to rumble at 5am, it was a pretty “normal” day for our household. Our night nurse is on vacation so we are staying up tonight and tomorrow. We will have our day nurse picking up an extra day tomorrow so we can try to get things done! (and maybe catch a nap!)

Trevor was Mr. Ultra Coordinated today with his new shoes, Gramma would be proud.

He knows how to flaunt the new kicks!

Brendan is just going to have to start his own fashion trend.

Brendan did some great tummy time this morning, he is getting stronger!

Camera Ham!

Trevor’s shoes worked perfectly, he could not climb the jail walls. But now he grabs the center and leans way back so that it bends really far.

“How do I get these things off?”

Trevor ate real peas tonight for dinner and loved them. He had chicken too and devoured every last little bit of it.

Another video in the “little stinker” category, this is Brendan being manipulative and getting his little way. It is proof that it is all an act!

We all were pretty happy with how the day went today. Brendan did an amazing 6.5hr mist collar sprint and still got in 45 minutes of HME time this evening. He was silly baby today. Everything was funny and he seemed to feel pretty good.

Of course Brendan’s little temper still comes in to play when I leave the room, if Trevor has something he wants, or if I take something from him. I love how he will arch and worm his way right off the bouncy seat. To find the positive in this behavior, he is using his legs and lifting his own weight up. Good Brendan! Voiceover for the video provided by Trevor!

I had to take Trevor with me to Target this afternoon for some groceries and things, but mostly because he needed a pair of shoes! The last few seconds of this video sums it all up, this boy is a little monkey-feet climber! Shoes will keep his little toes from hooking in the fence.

Trevor liked the bright blue ones! I have to admit, I like them too! He had to get a size 4, and he will grow out of them quick!

He got new big boy socks too

It only took about 30 seconds for him to figure out how to open the velcro.

Shoes didn’t slow him down a bit. He went crawling away top speed and pulled himself up on things just fine. He barely noticed them.

Tonight while Brendan was in mobile HME mode, he came to the dinner table to be with the family. We all like seeing him get away from his corner.
