Well, it has happened! Trey is officially 1 as of yesterday! I just can't even believe it!! Where has the time gone?! It seems like just the other day that I was in the hospital starving to death waiting for him to make his grand appearance!! And now, here we are a year later!! He gets more adorable with every passing moment, and I can't believe that I love him more and more each day!! He is the greatest thing that has happened to Brian and me, that's for sure! Today we went for his 12 month check up, and he is perfectly healthy!! I will be scheduling his year pictures soon, and when I get those back, I'll post them for everyone to see!! :)
At 12 months:
*weighs 17 lbs 12 oz (He's only in the 1%, but the Dr said he looks great. He's just a little baby! Not a fat roll on him at all!!)
*is 30 inches long!!! (He is in the 59%, and I am so happy about that!!)
*can stand on his own
*loves to do laps around the coffee table while he holds on, or under the kitchen table holding onto the chairs
*walks while pushing his car at Todd and Tina's house! Our house is too little to have a car to push around! haha
*I think he could walk on his own at any minute if he wanted to, but I think he's scared to do it.
*still doesn't sleep through the night, so the Dr is giving us some medicine to help get him used to sleeping, so that he will be in the habit and will continue to do it himself! I pray it works because I'm exhausted!
*is starting to eat more people food, but we are just starting that out because he was a little bit of a late bloomer when it came to getting his teeth--some of his favorites are mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, chicken noodle soup, and he's starting to like tomatoes.
*He has so much personality--he gets funnier every single day!
*He loves to read--he also knows when his book is upside down, and will turn it right side up before starting to read it!
*Hates getting in his infant car seat, but he doesn't weigh enough to get in his new convertible car seat....we may have to install it rear facing if he doesn't gain enough weight before too long because he will end up being too long for it!
*is starting to enjoy cartoons. This morning on KET, he was watching cartoons and wouldn't turn his eyes away to look at me to eat his breakfast! haha!

Look how big I am!

11 months down, 1 more to go!!
How is it even possible that Trey is already 11 months old?! It just doesn't seem possible at all! He is getting so big, and he is getting smarter every day! And cuter too! I don't know how that is possible, but I am a little bit partial! haha! Trey is having a blast with his first Christmas! We have 5 Christmas celebrations for him to attend, and the 3 we've done so far, he has had a big time!!! Next, we will go to Owensboro this weekend to celebrate Christmas with my family! We are looking forward to that!
Trey doesn't go back to the doctor for a check up until he's a year old, so I don't know how much he weighs or how tall he is, but after his next appointment, I will let everyone know!
At 11 months, Trey:
**is a seriously fast crawler--it worries me a little to think how fast he will walk when he starts going
**stands up all the time, and will stand up on his own unassisted for a few brief seconds from time to time
**says bye bye most of the time when someone is leaving, but it takes coaxing other times
**is trying to be trained to go to sleep on his own (without me having to rock him completely to sleep when I put him in bed before laying him down) and he is not a fan!
**has gotten 3 new teeth--he now has his 2 front top teeth and another bottom tooth. In fact, I think he's going to cut another bottom tooth any day now
**likes to feed himself his finger food snacks (Gerber puffs, Gerber yogurt bites)
**is starting to try some table food now that he is getting more teeth (he loves smashed up mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and his new favorite, chicken broth)
**has excellent control of his hands, and uses them all the time to explore everything
**smacks his lips when he's letting me know that he's thirsty
**claps his hands

10 months and growing
I'm still not sure how it is possible that Trey is 10 months old!! I guess I'll have to start planning his 1st birthday party before I know it!! Trey is learning new things and is growing more and more each day!
At 10 months, Trey:
**pulls up on everything that will hold still
**drinks out of his sippy cup on his own
**uses his hands to feed himself his puff snacks
**finally cut one of his top teeth!!! This brings the grand total of teeth to 3! What can I say, he's a late bloomer in the tooth dept
**is the fastest crawler of all time
**will give you a kiss if you ask him to
**babbles all the time: mamama, dadada, nanana, bababa, lalala, gagaga
**smiles all the time
**he is starting to say bye bye when we leave or if someone else leaves, but it comes out more as "ba ba"
**laughs all the time
**loves to make the chewing motion with his mouth even if he's not eating
**we are working on getting him to wave. He does do it from time to time, but it could be much better! haha
**I think Trey has grown some more, but I don't have the actual measurement for it
I have to take Trey to get his 2nd round of his flu shot, so that is the only thing we need to go to the dr for right now. Trey goes back for his next check up at 12 months, so I'm hoping he stays healthy until then!!! :)
I'll post his 9 month pictures finally too! haha!

9 months...wow!
I don't know how its possible that Trey is already 9 months old! I mean, in 3 months, he will be 1!! Where has the time gone?! He gets sweeter and sweeter everyday! I love to watch him grow and watch his personality develop as every day passes too! My little man is growing up before my very eyes!!
At 9 months he:
**weighs 16 lbs 4 oz (he's perfectly healthy, he's just going to be small like his daddy was at this age!)
**is 27 3/4" long
**pulls up to stand on anything he can reach
**has started using his pincher grasp
**says the following sounds regularly: ma, da, ga, ba
**is a bouncing machine
**crawls around on all 4's now
**loves to swing at the park
**is going through his sleep training so that he sleeps all night (he used to sleep all night, but then quit, so we are trying again)
**won't take a paci or a bottle (glad about the paci, but the bottle/cup thing, he needs to master...he holds it, but won't drink)
**is going to start trying some adult foods from time to time
**takes 2 naps per day typically (one in the AM near lunch time, and one in the middle of the afternoon)
**still only has his bottom 2 teeth...the Dr said that he thinks it will be Christmas before his top 2 teeth come in
I had an appointment to have his 9 month pictures made on the 20th (also Brian's 30th birthday!!!), but the day before, he was pulling up on the coffee table, and he slipped and hit his mouth on the way down. It scratched some of his skin off his lip, and it swelled up some, so we had to reschedule. I'm hoping to do them sometime next week! So until then, here is a more recent picture of him. When I get his 9 month pictures back, I will post it on here!! :)

8 months
At 8 months Trey:
**crawls all over the upstairs of the house
**tries to grab everything he can get his little hands on
**"talks" all the time making different sounds. (I'm still working on the M sound and the D sound, but he has really mastered the B sound
**screams out if you aren't letting him do what he wants (grabbing on my hair, taking something away that he isn't supposed to have, etc)
**loves jumping in his Johnny jump up
**will high five Brian when he asks him to
**occasionally waves hi or bye
We don't go back to the doctor until his 9 month appointment, so I will have some height and weight updates then! He's changing more and more each day, and he gets more personality with every day too!! We love him so much!! I will put up a new picture of him soon!!!

Trey is everywhere!!
Trey can't crawl in my opinion, but he is mobile and gets around everywhere upstairs. To me, crawling is up on all fours, and he doesn't do that, but he has mastered the military low crawl. PIcture the military exercise where the men/women are crawling while laying flat on the ground....That is Trey! He has done that a while, but stayed in the living room. Last night, though, he decided it was time to venture out and see what else was upstairs! He went straight to the gate at the top of the stairs (thank you Todd for installing that for us!), and then he found the floor vent! He was obsessed! He would just lean over it and let the cold air blow in his face, and it was blowing his hair. It was pretty funny! Then he decided he wanted to explore the kitchen, so he ventured in there getting distracted by our trashcan since he could see his reflection in it! He started talking to himself! But then he went further into the kitchen, and looked so tiny in there with all the big appliances and the kitchen table! What a little stinker! When I get the video and pictures on the computer, I will post them for everyone to see!!

7 months old!
My little man is 7 months old today! Where has the time gone?! It seems like just yesterday that Trey was born and was so tiny!! But I must say, I do love how big he is and how much fun he is to play with! And I'm sure it will only get much more fun as time passes!
At 7 months, Trey:
*sits up all on his own (has done that for a few weeks now)
*moves objects/toys from hand to hand
*leans over to pick up toys from either in front of him or to one of his sides, and then sits back up on his own
*makes the "ba ba ba" sound all the time
*loves to play in his jumper--he jumps so hard sometimes you would think he would jump right out of it
*is gobbling up the stage 2 baby foods...he loves them all so far!!
*gets up on all fours and rocks--he will also pull himself forward on all fours by using his arm strength (no crawling yet)
*will scoot over to the toy basket and get out whatever toy he is wanting to play with
*rides in grocery carts and can sit in high chairs at restaurants now
*stops whatever he is doing when he hears his daddy talking or unlocking the front door
He is so much fun and does so many things that it is hard to write down everything he can do! haha! I always have the video camera ready to catch his first crawling "steps", so when that happens, I will post it for sure!! I'll put up a new picture of him soon too!!
