What is that?

Well...so much for picking up words one at a time! Trevor started pointing at everything a few days ago. Yesterday every point came with the question, "Wha iz dat?" Of course you answer and ten seconds later he's pointing at the same thing with the same question. It's so cute! Aaron thinks it sounds more like "I want dat!" Either way...cute!

Cruisin'

Trevor has been crusin' around. He wants to walk and talk, but isn't quite there yet. He knows he doesn't want to be held - he has to walk. We've gotten him to hold on to only one hand and are slowly trying to get him to use the walls, tables, and other things nearby for help. I'm sure we'll look back and wish we didn't encourage him to be off on his own, but now it seems like a good idea.

His talking is fun to listen to. He's throwing together a lot of consonant blends that sound really interesting. Occasionally it sounds like he's mimicking what we say, but it's hard to say.

The ideal "never cries" baby is paying us back with an increasing amount of whining lately. I'm sure it's the frustration of knowing what he wants, but not knowing how to tell us. The signs for milk, eat, and more have really helped though.

Stepping Up

We went to cousin Ali's 11th birthday party today. Trevor was on the move the whole time we were there. He even took a few steps on his own to show off. We're fighting off a bit of a cold, but it's only his second. Two colds in one year is pretty good!

We're going to celebrate Mother's Day with Grandma Barb - and then back to Chris & Heather's for a Mom's Day bbq.

Starting Out

It's amazing that Trevor is already a year old. When I think about all of the things that have happened over the past year it makes my head spin! I'm hoping that having a place to write about all that we're up to will be a great way to keep our friends and families in the loop.
