Mini LSU Christmas tree

In the market for a purple and gold tree? Well I spotted this at Louisiana Nursery! What do you think? I might get one for Trevor's room;). Gearing up for Christmas already!

10 Months (2 Months Closer to 1)!

Oh my how the months go by!  I seriously cannot believe Trevor is 10 months and swiftly approaching his first birthday.  I am already in the planning stages as most of that will be filled with the holidays!  We went to the park in my Granny's neighborhood where I was picking acorns and gumballs for a craft project.  It was so pretty with the sun going through the trees that I went back home and got Trevor for a photo shoot :)  Happy 10 months my baby!

Playing on the slide looking at the other kiddos at the park.

He was so involved in looking at the other kids :)

Yay he looked at the camera.  I love his feet placement!

What a looker.

Love the expression on his face.  Like oops you caught me getting a taste of the leaf.

I'm obsessed with profile pics of him :)

Playing with the leaves.

Such a card.

He is so much fun!  And has so much energy :).  No new teeth this month.  But he got to go to the Dr. twice this past month.  Once for his 9 month check-up and again when he was diagnosed with croupe.  Poor baby had a rough time of it, but luckily I caught it early and he didn't get too bad off before the steroids.  He was still miserable though.

We have started feeding him more solid foods.  I would love to wean him off baby food :).  A girl could dream.  But I think I am going to start trying.  He does well with the stage 3 foods.  At first he was confused by the chunkies, but now he likes it.  His favorite is herb chicken by Gerber.  He gobbles it down so fast!  I gave him bread this morning and he liked that.  We started giving him avocados and that was entertaining.   Still not sure what to feed him, so I'm just experimenting and having fun with it.

Trevor a couple of weeks ago weighed 19lbs (with clothes on) and was 28-3/4 long.  Growing little boy I tell you!  By chance he was standing on one end of the coffee table and I was on the other.  I have these willow balls in a shallow bowl on the coffee table.  The one thing that is indestructible and still looks pretty.  So he threw one of the willow balls at me and I rolled it back to him.  Then he threw it again.  We basically started playing "catch" and he was so thrilled.  He learned a new trick that night and has been doing it ever since.  He is getting good at listening to us.  I'm excited to see him learn new things and apply them.  Wow!

Well that's our boy in a wrap.  Here's to 10 months of an every changing, fun filled life that I wouldn't trade for the world.  We love you Trevor!

LSU vs BAMA

Tigers win! Tigers win! An Alabama fan crying as his girlfriend comforts him. We cracked up laughing at this. Thanks for the pic Lisa Saxton!

In other news I was shown how to do some awesome makeup today. Had to leave a little early cause Trevor needed a nap. But here's a pic of that too

LSU Lovers

I'm pumped for the game! How about you? This was my get up today at work ;).
***it has also been "Spirit Week" at work in preparation for the big game this week***

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Trevor's new high chair

I was excited to see this for sale on Craig's list. So I bought it as quick as I could. But not before the state trooper pulled me over. I had to text the seller and tell her what was happening. I felt so dumb. Was going 69 in a 55 speed limit. Gotta love it. Oh well. Least I got the high chair I had been drooling over for a year. Yay for Trevor!

Pumpkin Patch 2011

We went to take pics at the Pumpkin Patch while Markus watched the LSU vs. Auburn game. His mom, sister and her husband went in place of Markus. It wasn't the same, but I was sure glad they came to support my little man and all his "1st's". It was an absolutely beautiful day. It really couldn't have been more perfect. I had so much fun taking pics of him and watching his fascination with the pumpkins. He got a handle on the smaller ones and would just toss them. It was so funny! He is all boy in that respect! All he wants to do as of late is throw/toss things. Any thing at that :). Well here's the pics. FINALLY. It's just so time consuming to do this. So I'll just post my favs :)

Trevor finds the stem!

He's fascinated... and really thinking about it :)

He was such a card!

Having a ball with his new found friends :)

Trevor & his Nanny... you see there he goes about to throw the pumpkin!

Uncle "E" (Eric), Nanny, & Trevor

Mommy & Trevor

My daydreamer... Can we say Markus?

This child was so happy to be there :)

Right before I took this shot he was trying to eat the pumpkin!

Mimi took Trevor for a hayride.  His 1st might I add :)

Playing in the trailer where all the hay was.

Uncle E, Trevor & Nanny...Seriously my baby could pass for Sarah's child... don't you think?

In this pic Trevor just kept grabbing Sarah's chin.  Hilarious!

Nanny & Trevor playing with the John Deere Tractor

He was so into the tractor and the noise it made when I tapped my ring against it.  The baby loves noises.  Of all kinds.

The best one we could get of the 2 of us by the tractor.  Loving my baby boy!

Well, there you have it.  Fall is my single most favorite season and time of year.  I would always drive by these pumpkin patches and wish I could go, but felt silly since I didn't have a little one.  Not anymore.  I think this will of course start a new tradition around this time of year.  I'm sure many more will follow this one.  I loved everything about this day and being with my baby as he is my heart.  Here's to many more visits with the pumpkins. 

Did I mention it was National Blog Posting Month?  Um yeah, going to try and post something at least once a day on this blog.  Ha!  We will see how I do :).  Shouldn't be too hard since I have Trevor to talk about :)   Enjoy!

Guess what Trevor was...

For Halloween we dressed Trevor up like a TIGER! Big surprise there. Lol. We had a blast. We went trick or treating in my moms neighborhood with Stephanie and her kiddos and my MIL and SIL and BIL joined us. We dressed up Trevor's wagon too. It was the "ghost flyer". That ended up being more if a pain than I anticipated. Oh well. We had a great time and even stopped by to say hello to my granny! Great 1st Halloween for Trevor indeed. I only got one pic with my phone(the rest are waiting to be downloaded)... So here you go
