Playin at the Park

A girl and her doll house

Brenna got a doll house from "Gah" (that's what Brenna calls her Grandma). I tried to help her decorate it and move the furniture around and I was told "No, no Mama, I do it". This is clearly her new favorite thing to do indoors. It comes with a Mommy, Daddy, Big Sister and twin babies.


Notice the Daddy in the bathroom with the stroller? We he was stopping home quick so the baby could sit on the potty (baby fell off the potty while I was taking the picture)

Shhh....don't tell Brenna that I secretly play with her doll house when she goes to bed. It's just so much fun {grin}

Time to say goodbye

....to the bouncy seat.

Trever no longer sits in his bouncer. He flips himself around onto his belly and backs down to the floor so he can play with the buckles. Ahhh, yet another thing we can throw in the garage sale.

Brenna's got a new bed

Brenna has had her new bed up now for about a week and I think it's a keeper. She has been in the Queen sized been since I was pregnant with Trever. Until now it had been just the box spring and mattress on the floor - which worked out really good for her to get on and off of.

Her room is an Asian theme. Most of her items are from her Uncle Craig and Auntie Sabrina (also her Godparents) that were picked up in Japan when Craig was there. She has a full sized Kimono hanging on her wall that is absolutely beautiful. We just put up the umbrella with a light behind it. We waited until Brenna was old enough to not try and pull it down on top of her. (that and we couldn't figure out to put it up there at first) Her crib used to be on the wall that the headboard is on. Her night stand is one that we got for our wedding. It has a Japanese painting on the top of it and on the drawer in gold.

She has another shelf on the opposite wall by her closet that holds some Geisha figurines, paper dolls, framed pictures, chop sticks and other neat things from Japan. By the way, that Kimono we use for pictures of Brenna to see how she's grown. I lie it out on the floor and for every month for her first year I'd put her on it. Now we do it every year for her birthday. Eventually we'll have pictures of her wearing it. I love looking back at those pictures and seeing just how much she's grown. I think I still need something for this blank wall...but not sure what we're going to put there yet.

So there it is...Miss Brenna's room and her new bed.

b and t at 6 months

Brenna at 6 months

Trever at 6 months

6 months old

I can't believe my baby boy is 6 months old already and yet it feels like he's been with us for so much longer than that. He's growing like a weed.

• 

Here are a few things about Trever

• He's the happiest baby out there. Rarely fusses and it's only when he is hungry...NOW.
• Loves his Big Sister. He just can't get enough of Brenna. If he hears her voice he'll search and search for her until he sees her - then it's the biggest grin ever!
• DOES NOT like to have a wet diaper. He will wiggle and squirm like crazy until he's changed.
• Scratches his belly when you change his diaper.
• Likes to be rocked to sleep sometimes.
• Does not want anything to do with a nuk or pacifier. Occasionally will suck on his thumb, but mostly chews on his na-night.
• Rubs the back of his head when he's sleepy.
• Kicks his feet and rocks his body forward and backwards when he's overly tired.
• Has been sleeping all night long pretty much since the day he came home from the hospital.
• Goes to bed between 8 and 9PM, usually needs to be woken up at 6AM to go to Grandma's.
• Takes 2 naps a day usually about an hour each.
• Eats cereal, carrots, squash and sweet potatoes. More to come as Mama gets cookin.
• Been sitting up by himself for a little over a week now.
  

• Been rolling from front to back and back to front for some time now. He'll roll all over the place, especially to get to Papa.
• Will attempt to "walk" when you hold his hands and move him forward.
• Seems to be Right handed (Brenna is a Lefty)
• Eyes are changing to Brown like Mama's
• His official Dr appointment isn't for a week, but when he was in to see the Doctor a week ago he was 20 lbs.
• Wears 12 month clothes (for the length), size 1 shoe.
• Ticklish - mainly under his chin and near his left collar bone.
• Laughs when others laugh, cries when Brenna cries.
• Says "oh" a lot and "da da da" when he's chewing out Jason.
  
  

I'm sure there are more things I'm forgetting. This boy has come such a long way in 6 months. Happy half Birthday handsome man.

Mommy, Daddy and Brenna love you so much!!!
