7/5/14

7/4/14

trevor: first fairs, ate bananas for the first time, still not sleeping well, gas is much better, eyes still cross when he's tired especially the left one, happy smiley baby except when going to sleep, rolls onto tummy almost every time he's put on his back, everything must be in his mouth, loves being & looking outside, likes to look at textures and numbers/words, is the wiggliest worm :)

--------------------------

wednesday trevor and i hungout at mom's all day and then i played softball wednesday night. mom had a dinner so tyler came with to softball to watch trevor and mom came after her dinner. it was great to see all the ladies, some i hadn't gotten to see the week before. trevor did great although he was really tired, and he was extra tired wed-fri this week although he didn't sleep any better at night.

then thursday, mom, trevor and i met meg and her kids for our annual washington county fair visit. it got hot but it was fun and trevor did great! he even took 2 naps in his stroller. then friday, we headed back to bloomer. once al was awake he told me the bloomer fair was going on, so we went up there for some food and to look around. it's a tiny fair but al saw some people he works with and we supported some local causes. al had to work friday night but then had sat-tues; 4 day weekend!!

friday night trevor woke up more times than he has been and was crying rather than the fussing he usually does. possibly teething? or gassy/reflux? i can't wait to see our doctor on wednesday for his 6 month appointment and hopefully get a plan of action to get us both some relief for sleeping.

saturday we all went up to the cities for al's fantasy football draft at shane and jodi's house. it was a good time although very humid outside. luke is still adorable and tiny! trevor and i left al at their house saturday night and went to sleep at mom's so that trevor wouldn't wake everyone there up. then sunday mom's neighbor, maria, came over to take some 6 month pictures of trevor. she's just getting into photography and hadn't done a baby yet, but she did great. we did them a little too late in the day as trevor was getting tired and not as smiley as he usually is, but we still got some good pics.

we all stayed up in the cities until tuesday because of softball monday night and al's interview on tuesday morning in hudson. monday was trevor's 6 month birthday!! can't believe we've had this happy, adorable, smiley, gassy boy for half a year! we're so lucky!! trevor also had another chiro appointment monday and everything is going much better; his gas is much less stinky, less often, and less disruptive. with that, he is still not sleeping well and i'm pretty certain it's due to me nursing him to sleep so often now. so we started sleep training (the ferber method) again in hopes of getting some decent sleep in the near future. i am tired!

monday night we had a double header, 8 & 9, lost the first, won the second. mom and al used the sleep training to get trevor down and he slept from 8-1140 without waking which is better than it had been. but then he woke up multiple times the rest of the night/morning, i couldn't let him fuss for fear of him waking up mom, tyler and al so hopefully once we're home i can let him and he'll learn to fall back asleep on his own.

tummy time for both my boys :)
