Week 28


Okay, because I only took two pictures this week it is going to be short and sweet!

We went to a Parents as Teachers class this week- Ready, Set, Walk. Basically it was a room full of babies ages 6 months - 1 year olds playing on the floor while a physical therapist talked to the parents about preparing for walking. Trent was a riot with the other little ones. The older ones would crawl over and takes his toys and he would take them right back! One little girl came over while he was doing tummy time and patted his behind =). He started laughing at something and just couldn't stop which eventually interrupted the discussion and had all the parents laughing with him.

On Saturday we took him to the park to take advantage of the 60+ degree weather. His first trip down the slide was a success! He loved it.

Here is a picture of us reading before bed. His favorites are Goodnight Moon and Sleepy Bunny.
A look back at 6 months ago. Trent was 2 weeks old and oh so tiny! I just love looking at his newborn pics!

It is getting harder and harder to get a good weekly picture. Once he finds the paper he wants to eat it....

Week 27

This is one of the last weeks that I will be a stay at home Mom =(. Although it is going to be very hard to leave him for 3 days a week, I am very excited to be working for my parents. Todd's Mom is going to be watching one day a week and I am pretty sure we will have someone coming over to our house for the other 2 days. I have been told the first month is going to be hard (more on me then him!), but it gets a little easier with time.

He looks a little evil in this picture! Like he is possibly planning on taking over the world.

Here are the men of my life (separated at birth apparently- darn clones!)

I took this picture of Caesar laying in the sun and it turned out pretty cool.

Cheese!

Week 26- 6 Months Old!


Our sweet baby boy is 6 months old! In some ways we cannot image life before him, but in other ways the last 6 months have flashed before our very eyes! He went to the doctor for his check up and he is doing great! Developmentally he is right on track- sitting, "talking" and grabbing. He is now 25lbs and 29 inches long- off the charts!
I think Caesar was getting jealous of Trent's weekly picture. Right after I picked him up Caesar hopped up and struck a pose. Silly dog.

Well, we finally did it- Trent is sleeping in his crib! We started sleep training on Wednesday night and it has been very challenging and rewarding. I created a log to keep myself in check with the "Ferber Method". Here is the log for Wednesday night and Saturday night. Hopefully we can have a lot more nights like Saturday!

Trent I think you might have something on your shirt....SOOO BIG!!
This picture reminds me of Bam Bam off of the Flintstones. Watch out this is the real thing!
Here is green beans for the first time. I have noticed with each new food he tries he gives these three looks one right after the other. Once you give him a couple more bites he is much more pleasant and he really likes green beans now. See ya later Mom, I am going to Grandma and Grandpa's house!He doesn't quite get the gravity thing yet.
I had to ask Todd to take a picture of Trent and me, because I don't have very many. I guess that is the price you pay when you are the photographer in the family.
Trent was invited to go swimming with his buddy Tyler. For some reason I was a little hesitant, but he really enjoyed the pool. Tyler showed him the ropes and was an old pro in the pool. We hope to go again very soon!
I guess swimming really took it out of him. He took a 3 hour nap after =).

Week 24

Trent has started getting camera shy- I love his bashful look.
We are introducing one or two new veggies a week: This is peas for the first time. NOT his favorite!
Carrots went over a lot better. Stayed tuned for next weeks green beans and or sweet potato...
On New Year's Eve day some of the Snyder's got together at Patty O'Quigley's. Trent loved being in his highchair eating with the big kids. Too bad he only got to eat his wipe container.
New Year's Eve was a quite night for us. We stayed in ordered pizza and watched "Dark Knight". Trent was down by 8 and we ended up going to bed around 12:05.
On Saturday we took advantage of the 60+ degree weather and played outside with the dog. Caesar was running around the yard like crazy, and Trent giggled hysterically! I got some of it on the video below.
