Week 45 – Day 7

Wouldn’t it figure that the day that Grampa Dusty was flying home is the day that Trevor warms up to him and even allows him to pick him up. Dusty made it home to IL safely, we can’t believe how fast the weekend went by.

Brendan had tons of play today, getting lots of fun in before his rough upcoming week. He did some rolling in space.

He had some great tummy time!

He did some proof reading of Aunt Shannon’s dissertation.

He’s afraid he has a lot of corrections, adding a large section about tape.

Brendan needed to get some pictures taken before Grampa went home so he actually got to get dressed. He was just eating up all the attention when everyone oohed and aaahed at how adorable he is in clothes.

The boys were both so cute, Gramma had to smother them with love and attention!!

Smothering!!!

Brendan says “Here, I will take this tape off for the family photo”

Grampa tried to take Brendan’s hand away from his mouth for photos, and Brendan was going to chomp him!

Gramma and Grampa and the boys!

Brendan is getting all scrubbed up for tomorrow. Trevor just had to jump in and help him get ready!

We have to get all packed in the morning and be at the hospital by 7am for check in. Surgery is at 9am, I am not entirely sure how long it is going to take. Gramma is all settled in to spend the day with Trevor. I will be blogging updates tomorrow from my phone.

Week 45 – Day 6

Just some cute pictures to share today, nothing much to report! (Those are good days!)

Brendan knows how to bite his mittens to pull them off with his teeth. He has just been clawing at his face like crazy, the tape really bothers him.

I dont.. like.. Pluuuuummmss!!!!

“What’s wrong with you people?”

He ate some soft cooked plum bites and didn’t actually seem to mind them outside of the tartness. But later tonight, they have been bothering his tummy. It is really hard to know what to feed this baby. No dairy, nothing that could possibly be constipating or gas producing. He is just going to have to stick to his safe purees for a while.

Brendan says it gives him a headache!

The boys had a good time in baby jail together this afternoon. Brendan was all excited to boot Trevor in the belly over and over again.

Brendan went crazy in his bath tub tonight. His kicking was ferocious and he was getting water everywhere! (laughing the whole time) He didn’t really get good naps in all day, but he was wired awake tonight for quite a while!

Gramma had to rock and read to him for a long time before he finally went to bed.

I tried to get Trevor to write this blog post but he was too tired!

Week 45 – Day 5

I thought for sure yesterday was Saturday, so today totally threw me off. We tried to just relax today.

Trevor was all ready to be cuddled, except he was still nervous about new company

He thinks he is a puppy and carries things around in his mouth

Brendan has a cute camera face. Whatever he is doing, if he sees the camera he has to stop and ham.

CHOMP! This little star is Brendan’s latest favorite

Gramma and I took Trevor swimming again today

“The water is chilly, I am gettin’ outta here!”

Trevor spotted a tiny weather balloon up in the sky, he must have good eyesight. It took me a minute to find what he was staring at! (edit: I just saw on the news that this balloon caused a ton of people to call the TV news about a UFO sighting. The weather service confirmed it was one of these: Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility research balloon)

He was not interested in posing for photos with Gramma and he was going to crab about it.

Ready to go home

Brendan stayed home with Daddy and Grampa Dusty. He really likes the way Grampa reads!
