We made it through the night fairly peacefully, but it was not an uneventful day!

Trevor was a little cranky, he had to ice down his new tooth with a cold wrench.

I guess he was done playing, he wanted to put the rug away

The boys had to video chat with Gramma today, they both had something they wanted to show off! Brendan learned how to grab his own toes today, he is doing really well at it too! He also learned that he can scritch his little fingers on his face to get tape off, and he has made his cheek all red and sore. Back to wearing socks on his hands for the night!

Trevor’s new trick was something he worked hard on today. He is definitely persistent when he wants something.

Brendan was in a good mood too, I was clownin’ all night because he was just laughing at everything.

Brendan had to deal with a trach tube change today and some retaping which led to a pretty serious meltdown. Otherwise, there were only a few short incidents of mad baby!

We’ve all done pretty well today. We appreciate our friend Christine hanging out all afternoon while Bill went to visit Grandpa Jack. We need to have her over more often because both of the boys were ultimate little angels and had a blast. We had dinner with her whole family and it was nice to have some adult social time.

Brendan was kicking so hard, I thought he was going to launch right out of his bouncy chair!

This gets filed as one of my new favorite pictures, it makes me laugh!

Sound the alarm, this means trouble!!

Brendan is going to eat an orange dream tot. mmm

Trevor was playing with cups today. He is doing it wrong!

Even Brendan knows he is doing it wrong! (the green one was supposed to be for Brendan to play)

There you go!

I wish that I had fit in a nap today. Tonight is no-nurse night, so I am counting on some Mountain Dew and late Olympics coverage. Please sleep in tomorrow, Trevor!

Putting the drug wean on hold this week has left us with a pretty happy Brendan. It has been a nice break for us not having to manage his withdrawal.

It was nice playing with the boys together. Someone covered Brendan in tater tots.

Find the bucket, find the culprit

We learned yesterday that Brendan had a pulmonology appointment scheduled this afternoon. The hospital must have scheduled it when we discharged, I don’t remember setting it up. We were glad to go, but it left us in a pinch. Bill got out of work just in time to go, but that meant putting the whole family in the car. We had to take the truck so I could sit between the two car seats and then there was no room for equipment and the stroller had to go in the back. It was not comfortable but at least we know we fit.

Getting Brendan loaded to travel takes a lot of effort. Filling the portable liquid oxygen container is really really loud, so Bill gave Trevor ear protection.

In the truck, Brendan on my left

Trevor on my right

We are tasking the whale with a serious load of stuff. Trevor barely fit with all of the gear!

At the house, Brendan is relieved to be home and totally worn out!

On the way home, I was taking some extreme Trevor closeups and I noticed something.

When we got home, we had to get out a metal spoon and see if we could click click click

It clicked! The sharpest little point of a tiny tooth is pushing its way through on the bottom right! Trevor is getting his first tooth!!!!
