Week 10

This week we went to Jamesport to check out the Amish community with Todd's parents. It was Trents first road trip. He did a fabulous job in his car seat and didn't cry at all during the hour long trip. We stopped at a little farm called Grabers with fresh produce and good apple cider. Next we went in town for lunch and then went to a few shops.


After such success with the first road trip we decided to try another! Sarah, Trent, and I went to Powell Gardens outside of Lee Summit. The gardens were beautiful and I was surprise at how much was still in bloom. Trent did not do as well on this trip. He doesn't really like his car seat and he vocalized this for most of the way home.



Here is Caesar and Trent just hanging out on the couch together. Right now neither one knows what to think about the other. Caesar sure does like the smell of his dirty diapers though!


Amanda and Kaelyn came over this week to visit. Kaelyn is a natural with babies! I will be calling her to babysit in a few years!


Trent loves his earth loving tee-shirt from Aunt Tiffany!


Trent weights 17 lbs now and is wearing size 6-9 month clothing!

Week 9

Another week has pasted and it was a great one! Todd's parents threw a little party for Trent to meet all of Grandpa Tom's family. Below are cousins Eva (left) and Skye or she also goes by Hanna Montana!


Here is Great Grandma Belcher (left) and great Aunt Tricia (is that right?)


The party was a good excuse for Todd to try out his meat smoker. Below are the finished products. The pork shoulders were very tasty!


Trent continues to "coo" a lot and even yells "MAMA!" when he is mad. It gets easier each day to get him to smile. As you can see, Todd is getting to be a pro with the dirty diapers and feedings. When he gets home from work he tends to be a baby hog, and Trent loves his Daddy time.






I find it somewhat ironic that Todd was the first person to give him something he shouldn't have. Todd is always giving me a hard time for feeding Caesar human food. Todd also has said once Trent is old enough to eat he wants him to eat really healthy. What does he give him to lick....a grape popsicle! Trent gave a crazy face and immediately started licking it until he realized it was cold! Todd said "aleast it is sugarfree". Oh dear....


Here is a quick video of Trent's first look in the mirror.

Week 8

Trent got to meet his Uncle Andy, Aunt Amber, and cousins Makenna, Dani and Delaney for the first time this weekend! We were at the house to celebrate John and Delaney's birthdays. I think Delaney was a little sad when we sang Happy Birthday, because she had to share with stinky old Uncle John (happy 30th John!)

"Hello....no man I wasn't sleeping"

Pass the baby!


Trent turned two months on the 11th. At his 2 month checkup he was 25.25 inches and 15 lbs 8 oz! 100 percentile for height and weight! This little man does not miss many meals.

Trent is scheduled for another kidney scan at Children's Mercy on October 23rd. Also the doctor said she still hears the heart murmur and would like a cardiologist to look at him. That will also be sometime in October. She said it was just a precautionary measure and most likely it will fix itself before he is one. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

Here is a cute video of Daddy singing Trent his nightly ABC's!

A friend let me barrow this funny little contraption that lets babies sit up before they actually can...it is called a bumbo. I accidentally keep calling it a bimbo.

Week 7

It is hard to believe that he is almost 2 months old already! I had fun "dressing him up" as a baseball player. It is the closest thing to dressing up until we have a girl. I happen to catch him sneezing and I thought it was a cute picture. No major milestones this week, unless you count his first booger!



We got the exersaucer for Trent to try out. He is really about a month too young for it, but he seemed to enjoy it. Caesar was very scared and confused of the toy that talked and played music.
