10/4/14

trevor: got first tooth (top, followed by the bottom on the same side the next day), first babysitter that wasn't grama or daddy, first sleepover at shane & jodi's, apple orchard

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

al had thurs-sat off this week, so Thursday afternoon we all headed up to the cities to shane & jodi's house to watch the Viking-packer game (which turned out to not be a game at all, they smoked us). it was so great to see them again, especially luke who has grown a lot since last time we saw him. he's so stinkin' cute and won't be long before he catches trevor in the weight department :) we stayed over night there and it went well, better than I expected.

finally some fellow Vikings fans!

Thursday afternoon I stopped by the woodbury jbf (consignment sale) to see what it was like on the first day. it wasn't as great as i'd hoped, especially in the clothes section but I found some one piece winter outfits for trevor, a 12 month snow suit, some plates and straw cups i'd been looking for, and a couple of books.

Friday we headed back to mom's house and hung out. trevor's top gum was very bruised and we could see a line of white of his tooth. but he was a champ, a tiny bit fussy here and there but really still a very happy boy for teething. I made him some more sweet potatoes, pears, and nectarines. on Monday I also made him apples and chicken. i'm hoping to start feeding him more and lunch in addition to dinner since he's waking every 4 hours at night still. even though I've been feeding him dinner every night for a while now, he still nurses just as much. hungry boy, hopefully it's just a growth spurt and he'll start sleeping more soon!

you can kind of see the bruise and little white spot here

Saturday was a jam packed day! trevor turned 8 months!! trevor, mom and I drove up to kayli's house at 9 am to get ready for maren's baby shower at 11. the shower was great, nice and low key and we made some cute onsies for baby schletz! we didn't leave the shower til 3 and trevor had only taken 2 half hour naps. we got back to mom's, relaxed a bit, and then al and I headed over to manda's house for their 10-4 party (their anniversary). a tired grama and trevor stayed home. we ate, played games, had a couple beers, and conversed with great people until about 11 when we headed back to mom's house.

sunday, luckily, I got to take a 3 hour nap because I was tired! esp after trevor was up twice and up for the day before 7. al had to head back to eau claire when he woke up because he had to work. mom, T and I went to aamodt's apple orchard in the late afternoon. it was good, we got apples, apple cider, and walked around a bit watching the kids play. it was a bit chilly so trevor got to try out one of his new outdoor outfits. it's a 9 month bear one and he's just about too long for it. :) but it's super cute!

I love carrying him!

Monday morning we woke up to his tooth popped thru! the second top one looked like it's right there too. we went to the chiropractor and his hips were pretty stuck again. hoping once he starts crawling, it'll help loosen those up. he screamed again the loudest I've heard when she did his neck but he took a little snooze in the car on the way home so it must have relaxed him since he had just woken up from a nap. I had my last games of softball that night and trevor went over to mom's neighbor's house, maria, shawn, anika, and kaitlin; his first time with a sitter other than mom or al. they said he did great and he's such a happy baby. we lost at softball due to 4 male ringer's the team brought in and they were not very fun games to play, but still great to get out. i'm sad that softball is over!

Tuesday we headed home and I was super tired. I have a hard time falling asleep after softball and my body was hurting, so add in that trevor was up at 1 am, 450am, 530am, and 7 am, and you get a tired crabby momma. later I felt in trevor's mouth and could feel the bottom tooth on the same side as the top one that came thru!!
