It's amazing how fast the summer is going! I can't believe that in only a few short weeks we'll be gearing up for back to school and back to daycare full time. We have been enjoying our play dates with the girls from the mom and baby group and the group of babies from Becki's work. We even got out to my friend Karen's to see a bunch of other friends and their kids as we swam in her pool. Check back from some cute pictures of Trevor swimming in the pool.
We are planning on making another trip up to the North Shore to see Aaron's dad and step-mom in the coming weeks. We hope that everyone's summer is going well!

Our Adventure in the North Woods
We had a great week up in Lutsen with Aaron's family. Unfortunately we weren't able to see Aunt Brook, Uncle Ben, or Mimi Anne due to illnesses. Aunt Heather, Aunt Sara, and Uncle John weren't able to make it up either. So, it may sound as though there weren't many of us there... Uncle Chris, cousins Ali and Jack, Aunt Maureen, Uncle Todd, and cousins Nick, Megan, and Katherine, as well as Boppa Chuck and the three of us were all together. We even got to visit with Aaron's Uncle John and Aunt Pam when they came over to celebrate the 4th.
Lots of s'mores were eaten and a few trips down the Alpine slide were had (but not by Trevor - maybe in a few years). I was able to read several of my teaching books that I never find time to read. Aaron enjoyed spending time with his brothers and Dad, as well as all the nieces and nephews. Trevor was in heaven getting all the attention from everyone!
On a related note, Milo enjoyed his week staying with my friend Kathy. He only caused slight damage to her house (he jumped through her screen door on day 1!).

Big Trip to the Cabin
We spent our first week of summer at the cabin. Trevor walked several miles around inside. He moved from needing a finger to being able to make it on his own. It's cute to see him hobbling down the hallway.
The weather was a little rainy and there were LOTS of bugs, so we didn't get out as much as we would've liked, but he enjoyed riding in the Gator and likes the view from his new "big boy" car seat.
Trevor enjoyed spending a few days with his Grandpa when my dad joined us for our last few days there. It was fun to spend Father's Day with Daddy and Grandpa!
We're looking forward to another great adventure in a few weeks when we head up to see Aaron's parent's on the North Shore. We'll be minus Milo on that trip. Some of my great teammates at school will be watching him for us.

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.
