ole schnikees: trevor

12/2/14

trevor: tried turkey & stuffing with gravy, moved his own feet for some steps while holding our fingers, got a new cousin: tula rae, first lefse day, loved lefse (fed himself), tried part of a burger and shaved pork sandwich at uncle tyler's birthday lunch, grinds teeth a lot, walked sideways while holding onto a table, puffs out cheeks when biting on things,

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

mom came down on Wednesday for thanksgiving the next day. thanksgiving was freezing outside so we stayed in, prepped the food, ate, and played with trevor. it was a great thanksgiving and i'm so glad Al got to eat with us! trevor even tried some turkey and stuffing with gravy. he fed himself some turkey but it was slippery in his hands so he only did a few pieces. I think he's getting frustrated with purees and me feeding him so hopefully we'll get to try more real food for him to feed himself.

trevor has been wanting to hold our finger and pull himself up to standing, and while mom was here he took his own steps while holding on to our fingers. previously, we'd have to move his body back and forth to get his feet to move. they were tiny little uncertain steps, but still on his own.

also on thanksgiving, my cousin maren had her baby at 10:10am and named her Tula Rae after her mom (auntie diane's) love of tulips and that uncle jimmy called her Tules. we got to meet her at the hospital on Friday and she's adorable!! Trevor loved playing with kai and even stepped sideways while holding onto a table to get over to me!

then Saturday we had lefse day at mom's. it was good and Trevor did great! he went to everyone, smiled at everyone, and had people laughing with his fake cough/laugh he does! he loved watching everyone and shared his toys with Ruby and Ryan. we made lots of lefse and it was tasty! once everyone left and Trevor went to bed, mom, Tyler and I played wizard, again. so fun!

Sunday was freezing again but we decided to have Tyler's birthday meal since we were up (his birthday is Tuesday). mom, Trevor and I ran some errands in Eagan and then drove down to Shane & Jodi's house to pick up our wreaths. Trevor had a good nap in the car which doesn't happen often, but his sleep schedule is all messed up due to the holidays and so much going on.

we drove home late afternoon on Monday so that Al could sleep since he worked two 12 hour days over the weekend. we're hoping to get Trevor's sleep schedule back on track (or see if it needs to change a bit, but either way get on a schedule). Monday morning I took Trevor to the chiropractor and his hips were stuck but not nearly as bad as last time so that made me feel better about his sleeping and not crawling. we also had lunch at obbs with uncle Tyler and mom as Tyler's birthday lunch, kind of. Monday night for supper trevor fed himself almost a full thanksgiving meal: turkey, stuffing, wild rice, green beans. I think he's really ready to start feeding himself, I just don't know if I am. :) both because he's so big and because I don't really know what to make him. but i'm going to try to give him some of whatever i'm eating. he still ate a bunch of puree/cereal so we'll keep offering that after he feeds himself to insure he's getting enough.

Trevor is still drooling a ton even tho his 7th tooth is in far. i'm thinking that 8th one is on the way but I can't see anything or feel anything. hopefully it comes soon because he is a fountain. :) he is also waking up somewhere around 1 am again and not being able to put himself back to sleep (in addition to his 430ish wake to eat), so we're hoping to get him out of that again, too. and he rarely puts himself to sleep for a nap or bedtime lately so we need to work on that too, hard when he sit up tho. I've read that this usually happens around 10 months because they're learning to much movement (sitting, rolling, standing, steps, crawling, etc) so hopefully we're almost through it.

playing with no pants on :)
