Week 35

Week 34- 8 Months- Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Don't worry, he has a diaper under the cover!

This has been quite a week for the baby book records! This week- Trent said "hi" and "bye", started crawling, waved bye-bye, and fielded and threw a ball back to Daddy! He loves his new found freedom. No longer does he fuss when a toy is out of reach, he just hops up on his knees and gets it! Now if I could just teach him that Caesar's bones and rubber squeaky toys are not to chew on- eww!


We had a little St. Patrick's Day photo shoot at home this week. He looked hilarious in his little green bow tie!

Tune in next week for videos of him crawling and playing catch with Todd!

Week 33

Trent is getting closer to crawling. He can now get on all fours with ease, but is still having trouble moving the arms forward. We have lowered the crib, put covers on the outlets, removed a shelf from his changing table, and installed a gate. It seems like the baby proofing will be a long process. I am shocked by the number of areas he can reach without crawling!

We went to a "Messy Morning" class, put on by the NKC school district. He was given pudding, jello, bananas, noodles, and whipped cream. It was a blast! He did not have any trouble making a mess! The little girl across the table, Lily, was flirting with him (see video below).

We finally made it downtown to First Friday to see our favorite Art "Nerdbots"! Uncle Nick and Aunt Angie have an awesome studio displaying their playful nerdy robots. Visit their website www.nerdbots.net to learn more about the bots!

We narrowly missed seeing Trent's godparents John and Kristen at First Friday. Even thought it doesn't look like it, Trent was so happy to see them!

As I type this up, I am realizing we had a very busy day on Friday....messy morning, park, First Friday. We met up with Sarah and Rachel for a quick lunch at Mackin Park (close to Cerner). Trent got to try out the swing for the first time. He liked it as long as he wasn't going too high. Sarah and Rachel are a bunch of nervous nillies when it comes to Trent -"he is going to choke on that!" "he is going to eat the woodchips!" "he is going to fall out of the swing!" Of course none of those things happened. It is sort of cute they are so protective.

Getting ready to go to church.

Week 32

Tyler had his 2nd Birthday party this weekend at Air Zone. For those who have never been, it is a giant indoor play area filled with inflated slides and obstacle courses. From the group picture above you can see Tyler is quite the popular 2 year old =). Todd and I were expecting Trent to love this place and our excitement grew all Saturday long. Once we got there, he was not himself and starting crying almost immediately. I think all the noise and people might have frightened him (you wouldn't think, because he has been to the Snyder house plenty!) He eventually warmed up to the place and had a good time.

Birthday Boy!

Madalyn knows how to eat a cupcake...icing first!

"Mom, this duck won't quack!"

Tyler was completely fearless (as usual) on all of the obstacles.

Trent get away from the Kansas fan!!

Grandma Updates: We are so thankful to say that both Grandmothers are doing great! Grandma Belcher is home now and I think enjoying the fact she cannot dust for a couple of weeks! Grandma Hemerson pace maker is getting more oxygen to her brain which allows her to be more alert and have a new found clarity.
