Ostrich Festival

Here in AZ men race these ostriches bareback!!! Interesting I know...





Today after church we decided to go to the Ostrich festival--for all you out of state readers its basically like a state fair with OSTRICHES being the theme-lol- so of course it has fair food which I love! We even ate ostrich burgers. Above is Mark and Trey before the races--Trey kept laughing at his daddy today!

American Booty!

7 Months
*Still not crawling like lots of your friends (but you have quite the tummy to lift)
*Scream out of happiness all the time (this is funny because it is a high pitched squeal)
*Love all fruits/veggies except peas (can't blame you there)
*Finally you sit up!!!!!
*You wave bye-bye/hello
*Love being outside
*Will sit and watch a 30 min. Baby Einstein video
*Sleep in your crib and give me good stretches of sleep (most the time)
*Your 2 front bottom teeth have started to poke thru

Afternoon at the park...

This is your first time swinging at the park... and daddy even got to be there!

We have to go to the park as much as we can before it gets to be 100*outside!!!

Feeding the ducks...

Today with our church mom group we went to the park for lunch and then fed the ducks. Now you would think a 7 month old is too little to get anything out of that but honestly if you threw the bread right in front of him and all the ducks came really close he would laugh and laugh and wait for you to throw more bread so they'd all start moving around again. We are going to have to start visiting the ducks more often...

Real bath time!

I love how we can give Trey real baths now in the tub without his plastic newborn one--it's so much more fun to watch him splash around and play with his toys! (I realize he probably should have been able to do this for awhile now but someone is kind of lazy when it comes to using his stomach muscles)

So this is what happens...

So it was breakfast time for Trey and he was sitting in his highchair and had finished half of his carton of yogurt--so I was letting him have a little break and drink his water when I turned around for 2 minutes and this is what I came back to-an upside down yogurt container with yogurt dripping down the highchair to the floor and Trey finger painting with it all over his face and PJ's while rubbing his sippy cup and spoon in it! Well I learned my lesson I no longer can leave anything on the tray like I used to-LOL!!!! (sorry no pics of the floor the dog got there too fast and cleaned it for me)

Valentine's Day with my BOYS!

You would never guess he was sick...


Well since Trey was sick for obvious reasons we had a pretty low key day hanging out at the house. MiMi promised as soon as he is better though that we could go out on a date! It was still nice though because Mark brought home the prettiest arrangement of flowers which Trey is fascinated with. Trey still had to wear his "Rock my Valentine" shirt though because he looked too cute in it!
Getting another breathing treatment

Sniffles & Sneezes...

Aunt Santana giving you your breathing treatment!
Well this week we have stayed home everyday because you have been sick. Now I thought it was just a cold because you had a cough and runny nose but that was it--you were still a happy boy all day and never had a fever! (night time was another story) Anyways I decided to take you into the doctor today just because it was Friday and I didn't want to end up in the ER over the weekend if you were not getting better--it's a GOOD thing we went because you were sicker than you let on--Bronchiolitus and RSV . I felt awful I didn't take you in sooner, but was just thanking God that you passed your oxygen test and we could go home and do breathing treatments instead of admitting you to the hospital. So they sent us home with a breathing machine and a cute little mask that looks like a rhino and we do a breathing treatment every 4 hours for 20 minutes! Now we have not even been home for an hour and you already started getting visitors!!! As you all read this please say a little prayer that Trey's airways continue to open up and his breathing gets better!

Daddy Time!

I love this picture! Mark crawled under the play mat with Trey and layed there playing with the toys with him.

Honeybears and Teething

Well Trey you had your 1st Honeybears today!!! Now of course you were not eating a pork sandwich but you were gnawing on a baby back rib, and you loved it--which is a very good thing because I foresee lots more Honeybear meals in your future. For all you other moms out there with a baby thats teething I highly recommend going and getting you some baby backs-LOL! (Yes I ate all the meat off of it first)

6 Month Well Check-Up

Today you had your 6 month check-up and it went great! You are growing up so fast!!!! They tested your interaction with people which you passed with flying colors, which I am assuming is all the interaction with your 6 aunties who can't put you down !!! You are sitting up on your own now and love to suck on your feet! You also have quit crying as much in the car thanks to your Baby Einstein CD. You are so fun to interact with now and even try to copy things... With every passing month we just love you more and more which I didn't think was possible!
Weight-18 lbs. 8 oz.
Height- 27 inches

Super Bowl Sunday!!!

Trey you are one lucky boy--for your first Super Bowl you got to witness the Cardinals make it!!! To watch the game we hung out at Mimi's house all day and played! This was also a very special day because during the game your Mimi and Aunties taught you how to clap!!!! Now it is just one very slow clap but you did it over and over again during the game when they would prompt you! (video down at bottom )

Trey supporting the Cardinals!!!!
Are these not the cutest cookies?

6 MONTH PHOTO SESSION!

This past weekend we got Trey's 6 month pictures done by my favorite baby/family photographer ever!!!!! Jackie Lindfors-her link is to the right!!!! (she also did my maternity/newborn session)

My BIG Boy!

Well as many of you know I have always wanted the Bugaboo stroller which I have absolutely loved having, but it was time to put the bassinet buggy part away and break out the big seat! So here he is sitting up and wearing his new Big Boy converse! No more itty bitty baby...

Cousins...

Eden, Trey, & Jamison!

Today we got to see Trey's 2nd cousins (Mark's cousin and wife's babies)!!!! I am so excited they are 1 month old today so they will be his little buddies and they live here--so they get to grow up together! Plus their SUPER cute cuz their mixed too-LOL!!!!
