waving finally

After a long day of high-fiving, I decided if he could do that, then he could wave. So by the end of the day, he was waving. Sometimes it's a double hand wave. He won't always do it when you want him to either. It kind of looks like he's dribbling a baskbetball. He loves to carry around the basketball and always looks up at the goal.

We made it to the beach twice this spring break (once for the St. Patty day parade and another just for fun). The second time the field behind us had bluebonnets everywhere.

Trevor LOVES riding in their Power Wheels. I'm glad we're finally getting some use out of it. Trevor tries to climb up in it by himself. I'll be in trouble when he gets tall enough to reach the pedals. We finally turned up the speed so Jack had a BLAST! He didn't want to come in. Now everytime we come inside, Trevor throws a huge fit. You probably think I'm exagerating, but it involves screaming and banging his head on things. I can't even go in the garage to do laundry anymore with out him seeing me and throwing a fit because he can't play outside.

Finally! Videos!

There are lots of pictures and videos since the last post that I will try to post! First of all, Jessica had the twins on March 7th. I can't believe they're only 10 days old!! Here is a link to her blog. It's much more entertaining than mine! It's cejkatwins.blogspot.com

Trevor's been back in daycare since February 7th. I think his speech has actually gotten worse. All he does now is babble and scream. He also started banging his head on the floor (tile or carpet) and wall when he gets mad. I asked today if he does it at daycare, and they said no, but another kid does. Hmm...I wonder where he learned that one from.

He loves to ride in Jack's Power Wheels truck. He even tries to crawl into it when we are in the garage. We have been taking daily walks/rides as soon we get home from daycare. The weather has been beautiful, and I don't know what we'll do when it gets too hot or the mosquitos get too bad.

Today, Trevor came home with his first bite mark. I won't be surprised if he bit the kid back though. I didn't see it until we were home, so I didn't get to ask them about it.

Jack and Trevor have lots of fun jumping on the trampoline.

We went to the zoo this week. Jack got a mood changing necklace with a frog on it that he is VERY proud of. His hair is getting very long...eventually we'll go get it cut.

videos for real

Here is Trevor and me playing ball and him talking on the phone. Since I got my new phone, he is not allowed to play with mine! The last one is from tonight. Jack was playing a boxing game. Trevor was laughing hysterically at him and then it looks like he is trying to fight him. When I said, "Don't hit him," I meant that to Jack because Trevor got close to him earlier and he wacked him with the Wii remote. Trevor thought that was funny too though.

Trevor has started unstacking and stacking the big plastic blocks. Then he puts them in obscure places, like the refrigerator door. This was the same age when Jack broke my glasses while with a babysitter and hid part in one of his toys. It took quite a while to find the frames, but they were all twisted up so it didn't really matter.

Jack is been obsessed with making things from paper. He had some classmates help him make this castle (not sure why he had time to make it during school though).

Talk about progress!

Wow! Trevor's come a long way in the past 3 weeks! He is still saying mama, and now he knows what it means. He also says nana for banana. Sometimes he walks around so fast it's like he's running. He had a few days where he was climbing like crazy, but I think he forgot he knows how to climb lately. Yesterday, he picked up my phone and held it to his ear and said something that sounded like hello. Then he continued to walk around the living room doing that. It was too cute. Of course when I try to video him, he acts like he doesn't do it, but I caught him doing it once at the very beginning of the video.

He got an RSV shot last week. He'll get one more in February that will protect him for that month. By March, he should be good. We still do a few puffs on an inhaler twice a day, but at least it's not the machine that takes 15 to 20 minutes. He hated that thing! He doesn't care for the inhaler either, but it only takes a few seconds.

Jack's doing better. He participated in the Spelling UIL team at school (we will never do this again). I'm so glad it's over. One, because I helped organize our school's teams, and two, Jack HATED studying his spelling words. He's taking a break from karate and jui jit su. He'd been doing it for almost a year and a half and was just getting tired of it. We might look into socceer or boy scouts. He still building forts like crazy. He used the cardboard from Trevor's new carseat and set it up in his room last week. It's still there. I'll attach the video later.

One is Trevor talking while he's eating. The only solid foods he'll eat are graham crackers, kix, bread, bananas, and pinto beans. Healthy, huh?

Back to normal

Trevor is doing great. Last Thursday, he went for a checkup and the doctor said his lungs sounded great. He is babbling ALOT more now. He also is able to stand up by himself (without having to hold on to something). He started saying mama, but I'm pretty sure it's still randomly. He still needs to get his 15 month immunizations. Since he was sick so much in November, we couldn't keep an appointment for them. Hopefully this week he can get those out of the way and an extra check up.

Jack's been super grumpy the past few days. Hopefully, when school starts he'll cheer up alot. He's been building forts like crazy and making a mess of the living room in the process. Trevor enjoys the forts though!
