I'm A Big Boy Now


Well, Trenton is growing up, much to my chagrin! Today he officially started drinking from a sippy cup. --He still likes to hold it with two hands and two feet just like his bottle :) --He'd been getting more and more bored with the bottle. I would try the sippy cup occasionally only to pour the formula in a bottle and let him finish that way. But even so he would go times without finishing his bottle. He'd drink half and then leave it behind to go play. I think he's just content with his solid food most of the time because he does so well finishing those meals. He started meat now, so in the morning he eats cereal as well as an entire jar of fruit and an entire jar of vegetables. Then in the afternoon and at night he eats three jars at each meal: fruit, vegetable, and meat. So, anyway, I decided cold turkey might be the best way with the bottle. He wasn't that attached to it anyway it seemed. Just this afternoon he lay on his stuffed animal puppy from dad and drank from his cup! The funny thing is he still didn't finish and then went down for a nap. I guess he knows what he needs, but I hope he's getting enough water and fluids. Anyway, the point of this post is not his diet but that my little boy is a big boy now drinking from a cup and eating three meals a day in his highchair. How fast it has all gone!

Fire In The Sky



Landon and I didn't have our camera on the Fourth of July (of course!) so here's a stolen page from Kristal's blog. She took a family picture for us. (If you click on it, it will enlarge so you can see it better.) Notice Trenton is not even looking at the camera; he was mesmerized by the fireworks. Landon worked for 11 hours that day, out in the heat too, but he was able to break away for the fireworks and come sit by us. Trenton was so happy to see his daddy so he sat on his lap the entire show. It was so cute seeing him stare at the sky, but then turn around to see daddy and touch his face. We also saw Big Dave and Mrs. A there. They were smart and brought lawn chairs, while Kristal and I forgot to bring anything! We carpooled and arrived around seven for the concert. That's when we realized it was a giant field and we had nothing. So, we sacrificed our babie's blankets and sat on them!! Then when the concert ended, her husband Shaun found us and led us to a group of our friends who had brought three blankets! Thank goodness. Overall, the singing was fun to listen to and the fireworks were great. An awesome time for Trenton's first Fourth of July :)

Travels

In June, Trenton and I went to Idaho to visit family while Dad went to Junior High Camp in CA. Chris' girlfriend Anne came along as well, so it was fun spending time with her. We had such a relaxing time playing games, watching movies, and just enjoying being together. We celebrated Father's Day and my parent's 25th Anniversary while we were there by going out to the Beachhouse right on the lake. We also spent a couple of days on the boat. I got to go tubing, which I haven't done since high school, and it was Trenton's first time on a boat!

Figuring this whole thing out...

Well, my new friend Kristal who just moved to AZ from CA with her husband and daughter showed me how to blog. I figured it's much easier that emailing pictures of Trenton, since now you guys can just get online and see the MANY new ones I am constantly taking :) I don't want to clog up your inbox!! Plus, now that I'm a stay at home mom I have the time to do this right?! Check back whenever and I'll make sure I keep up with the details so you feel like you're watching Trenton grow right along with Landon and me.
