Here comes trouble

This afternoon Trevor surprised me by once again showing how quickly he's developing. We are so in trouble.

I was packing the diaper bag and had set him in his crib seated with a toy. As I refilled the diaper pouch I see him reach over to the railing. I've never seen him do that before and probably wouldn't have thought anything about it. Yet I had just looked through my baby book with my mom and saw a picture of me at 6 and a half month pulling up to standing in my crib. So I stopped what I was doing and grabbed my phone just in case I needed to capture this moment. Well he pulled himself from his seated position onto his knees. And proudly beamed up at me. His face was a little surprised but also saying, "look what I just did." He fell over when he tried to move. Yet was able to do it again several minutes later when I reseated him.

And yes I was able to capture the moment with my camera phone.

Trevor ... Our new baby

In October 2011 Trevor joined our family. We are loving being a "party of 4!" and seriously can't imagine life without him. Which is weird because before he got here I was having a hard time imaging life with more kids than just Gavin. I'm so thankful that I knew we would have "more than one." Because honestly Gavin was getting easier and I half considered being done. But that wasn't our path and we are thrilled... All of us. Gavin has adjusted better than I could have imagined. He's a terrific big brother.

So I'm going to try blogging more often... It seems like life has sped up now that we have two kids. I don't want to look back and not remember the little bright spots that make my life magical. I love being a mom and I want/need to have an outlet to commemorate the really great things that just happen everyday so when a "bad" day hits (and they do) I can look back at all the good ones.
