Here are just a few pictures of Trenton's Birthday. We had a small celebration on his actual birthday. His Big Party is Sunday.


Thanks Target!



Wanted to touch the candle really bad.



Wasn't sure what to do with it.



Figured it out!

Who has a 1 year old now?? Me! Isn't it crazy?! At 10:11am Trenton turned 1 years old. Of course he doesn't know it, he just knows people have been giving him extra kisses and singing to him. haha



We are in the weaning process right now. I knew I wanted to shoot for 12 months of him nursing and I reached that goal. My mind was made up last week when he clamped down so hard that he broke skin and I hurt for the entire rest of the week. So now he only nurses right when he wakes up in the morning and before bedtime. He also gets to nurse when he wakes up in the middle of the night which has been a habit for the pass 1 1/2 months. I don't know what is up with him. My guess is his teeth. He finally got his last front tooth to come in all the way. So he has 6 teeth total, which don't feel particularly nice on my flesh.




He hasn't taken any steps just yet. He is slowly starting to let go of things and stand still for a few seconds. Falling down startles him but he recovers quickly from that. haha He is such a little stinker and a complete clone of Korben when Korben was this age.
He got his first haircut the other week. I have a video of him before his cut but I can't upload it for some reason. But his hair literally looked like a 80's boy hair do. Long in the back and just silly looking. Matt gave him the buzz and I trimmed it up later on in the week with Matt's beard trimmer. Trenton was very wiggling and did not like the buzz of the hair trimmer.





Trenton LOVES giving hugs and kisses. Will give you a five if he knows you. He isn't has 'friendly' to strangers. He just won't go to anyone or 'talk' to anyone. He has to make sure you are OK by his standards. I just hope he grows out of the stage where he won't go to anyone because I am unable to go the YMCA and drop him off in the Nursery.

We plan on having his Birthday Party on Sunday. Not sure who is all coming but it should be a decent turn out. I just hope the rain stays away so we can go outside for a bit and enjoy the air.

Here is Trenton trying to crawl to a couple of his toys on the floor. He is getting better every day but still hasn't figured out that you have to move your arms as well as your legs. lol



Julianna wanted to get in the video as well. But she wasn't happy until I 'took' a picture of her. Hence the 'say cheese' in the video.

Milestone completed!
Trenton now rolls from belly to back and back to belly. He also got on his knees to try to crawl but ended up back on his belly. Once he is able to crawl he is going to be in everything!!! He puts everything in his mouth so all little toys (legos, doll shoes, etc.) will have to stay in the playroom or in the other kids rooms.
I have Trenton on my lap now and its extremely hard to type since he is trying to attack my typing hands. lol
This past weekend we had Matt's brother's wedding to go to. Korben was a groomsman and made a rented tuxedo look cute as ever! I will post a few pictures on here and if I know you personally you will get a link to the rest. Or just let me know if you want to see the rest and I will email you the link. Julianna wasn't in the wedding but she was just as cute with her flowery dress.
I am getting Trenton on solid foods more and more lately. He does not like any rice or oatmeal cereal. So I am just mushing up bananas for him and then pureeing veggies for him. So far he likes green beans and bananas. We are going to try carrots in a bit. I ended up getting that KidCo puree machine. Before that I bought a hand puree and it sucked! My hand and wrist hurt so darn bad that I refuse to use it until he is able to eat very textured but not pure solid food. That darn thing just can't puree like the KidCo can.
Alright need to end this now. The two oldest are driving me nuts and I am getting drooled on by Trenton.

Trenton is 5 months old today! Above is a little video I took last week. I think he is our happiest baby ever. ANYTHING will make him laugh but he is also sensitive. You scare him, he will cry in pain. He will put out that bottom lip and just cry, until you can comfort him and try to calm him down. He is still nursing like a champ, but going for longer durations now. He has tried a few foods, HATES any type of baby cereal but LOVES to munch on bananas and frozen peaches. I bought a net feeder that you put in solid foods and infants can munch on the netting and it will turn to mush practically.
He has been waking up almost every night for the past week. I think its time to reintroduce cereal after dinner time. He wakes up and nurses for a while then falls back to sleep. Of course I fall asleep too, on the couch or the recliner. Its killing my back, I need to get back to bed right after he is done nursing. I will not bring him in bed with me though. I did that with Julianna from when she was a newborn and it took almost 3 years to get her out of our bed. NEVER again.
A little funny thing that happened today:
Julianna was playing on my Nintendo DS and was trying out Cooking Mama game. If you have never heard of it, you make all kinds of dishes. You have to prepare everything, like shop up onions, mix ingredients etc. I am sitting right beside her and I hear "OH CRAP!" I turn to her and say, "Julianna we do not say Crap, its not a nice word." She turns to me and states, "No Mom CRAB!" I look down at the DS and she is trying to 'tear' a CRAB apart. lol OOPS! Of course I apologized and she just laughed.
