trevor :: 41st week

11/18/14

trevor: got his 6th tooth (upper), finally consistently sleeping better: we often get multiple nights in a row where he only wakes up once usually around 430am, loves to take apart his stacking cups: will work hard to get 2 of them apart, loves to stand: at the couch or pulling himself up using our fingers, raised up on knees and scooted backwards a bit, patch through the rest of the year and then hope it gets better, started using the long sleep sack I bought at a consignment sale to ensure he stays warm since blankets do not stay on him since he rolls so much, horse loud scream/cry when falling asleep and in the middle of the night, learned to mimic a click noise with his tongue

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

It was super cold this week! Felt like January not November; brrr!

Friday, Trevor and I went up to the cities. I went and played 500 at my dad's with uncle munk, dad and tyler. it was ok, but my level of play is much lower than theirs. also, on Friday one of al's co-workers got stabbed multiple times; so scary! Al got called in early to help cover and the story is still a little weird and not complete, but his co-worker will be ok. he had to have plastic surgery but the doc was optimistic that you won't even be able to see scars. ugh, I hate it and can't stop thinking about it.

Saturday, mom, Trevor and I ran some errands but it was pretty chilly so we didn't do much. Saturday night after Trevor went to bed, mom and I had some wine and we played wizard with tyler. it was fun and we laughed quite a bit. Trevor was up from 1230-130am just really crying. we couldn't get him to calm down or stop crying for very long, hoping that doesn't continue. sunday we headed home to watch football with al before he had to work.

Monday we had to drive to Marshfield for Trevor's 2nd appointment with the eye doctor. it was a ways to drive for a short appointment. the doctor said his eye has gotten better so we'll hope that it continues on the upward path and he'll grow out of it. he said to patch him an hour a day for the rest of the year and then the first of the year to not patch unless we notice it getting worse.

trevor has started this weird cry/scream thing that seems to come from deep in his throat and is horse when he's falling asleep. it's hard to listen to and i'm afraid the neighbors will hear it especially when it's at 130 am. dr sarumi told us to let him cry it out in the middle of the night so he'll learn to sleep all night as he doesn't need the mid-night feeding anymore but it's so hard to listen to. hopefully it's just a phase and he'll outgrow it.

I also am hoping to find a chiropractor here in eau Claire for trevor because last time we met with dr angie (up in the cities) he had his longest, hardest (for angie, not trevor) adjustment. i'd hate to leave it go and have that be a reason he's not sleeping, not pooping great, not crawling or is uncomfortable. it just really sucks that insurance doesn't help with any of it.... but anything for my boy!

me: I got my period again last week after only having it in august (NOT pregnant) and it was a doosy, hoping it stays at just every couple months while I'm nursing but if it's not hopefully it goes back to normal and not this extreme one. i'm not used to this anymore :) no cramps though, so that's good.

 the closest to crawling he gets;

from sitting, he leans forward to reach something and puts his legs out to the side

 trying to get him to feed himself:

he loves his puffs and will find them amongst the other food, pick them up, use both hands & all fingers to get them in his mouth, but won't put the other, real food in his mouth. clever little stinker. :) he'll chew up and eat the pieces when I put them in his mouth. we'll keep trying.

 you can kind of see his other 2 teeth here

 he made himself a fort/tunnel. :)

 selfie with uncle tyler

 movember.

beard made by grama (he's not a fan of it so we had to hold it on)

 first bath in the sink at grama's because I forgot to bring the tub

 holiday crafting starting;

we made these for us & the grandparents.

 new bike

 fits into the sweater grama made him before he was born

cutest road trip buddy

 working on that Velcro to get his neck protector off

(which he does every time he's in the car now)

 sleepy, squishy lips :)

 practicing the crawling position

 although it's usually like this: straight legs/planking

 he pulls everything off his head (hats) but this he leaves on? :)

 loves to fall asleep with his blanket touching his face now,

also we've been using our handmade dinosaur camo sleep sack I got at a consignment sale, so much more relief for me that he's staying warm because blankets do not stay on this roley wiggle worm
