We have been calling Trevor a Penguin since he was a few months old. He developed his kicking and "leg" skills right on time, he would kick away...all day long. But, he wouldn't use his hands, bat at toys or hold his bottle. I suspect it was a result of swaddling him for almost 6 months and laying him to sleep exclusively on his back. Slow hand coordination was a small price to pay for reduced SIDS risks!! Along came the Penguin reference (with a cute dance by Darren to illustrate his point) and the name stuck. It was a Penguin Christmas. He got this Penguin from Nanny, two Penguin ornaments, a Penguin from Grandma-ma. March Trevor....march!

The Sundance Kid's First Thanksgiving
This is as STILL as I could get him on Thanksgiving day. I feel like every picture of him is blurry lately...he is on the move...all the time!!
He also has a new nickname too! His blond hair reminds me of Robert Redford in Butch and Sundance...so adorable.
Even's and 5's....
I know that having OCD has made me both a good mom (always organized and prepared) and a terrible mom (stressed over nothing and exausted). But, I realized while driving to work today that being OC means that you are OC about EVERYTHING! Trevor loves to listen to the Black Eyed Peas and Justin Timberlake while chillin' in the back seat. He REALLY does....so, we crank it. But, the volume has to either be an even number or on the 5's. So...it can be at 10 or 12 or 14...but also 15. 18 is about as high as I think a baby should listen to and when he is not in the car it is 20, 22 or even 25! Call out the white coats...I really am a little nuts!

Swim Lessons
Trevor loves to splash and loves the water, even when it is dumped over his head so we are taking full advantage and getting him started early. Baby swim lessons at SMU every Tuesday night. It is all kinds of adorable.Click here for a few more pics of swim lessons last night.
Graham Crackers
Trevor really loves his 2 first teeth. Anything that allows him to use them is his new favorite thing. I found him gnawing like a woodchuck on his crib rail...yes...wood stained slobber all over his shirt. That can't be good for him! He is also very reluctant to feed himself anything that is actually OK to go in his mouth. He puts lots of things in his mouth...it's just never food. Not Cheerios, puffs...anything. But, now we have found graham crackers and he LOVES biting off pieces. The sugar high that came after this revelation was sobering...but, hey...anything to get him to start feeding himself is good in my book. Luckily he finally started holding his own bottle so that I don't have to drive to work in the morning one handed....not safe!November 8, 2009
SMU Homecoming Parade
Trevor LOVES Nanny Lauren. Nanny Mom and Dad LOVE her too! I don't think I had to hold him for 2 seconds on Saturday.

Playboy Style
I was feeling like a bad mother because every time I picked up Trevor from daycare he was the only one with no shoes and no socks on. There are 5 other kids at his daycare, the 5 month old cute little baby girl who always has frilly tights or cute shoes, two 1 year olds with little Velcro shoes and two 2 year olds with fancy sneakers. In my defense, he doesn't really NEED shoes. He isn't walking yet...but, it is getting chilly here and he crawls his socks right off (which is why I don't put them on him for daycare...I would never see them again!).
So, off I went to BBRU yesterday determined to get him some shoes. They had Nike (Darren would not be happy with that, he hates Nike) and fancy Puma shoes. $30.00. I try not to spend $30.00 on my shoes at DSW and my shoe size won't change in a few months. Little T was waving his little naked feet in the shopping cart while I slipped on different versions of shoes for him.
I settled on these cute slippers- easy to get on, can't crawl them off, will keep his toes warm, don't need socks AND 1/2 the price of the fancy brands. GREAT! As I was taking them off to put his PJ's on (he wore them out of the store) I realized that they looked just like Hugh Hefner's slippers. So, there you have it...Trevor is already livin' the Playboy lifestyle!

Auntie Sissy....AGAIN!
Not many people know that I have a sister, which is a sad consequence of my crazy childhood. Tracey's mother, Jane, was a wonderful mother to me when I lived with my Dad. My sister Tracey had her 3rd baby girl- Abby. Really hoping to be able to get to see them all this year, maybe it will be my New Year's resolution :)

Slimming Down!
Trevor started to tip the scales at 23+ pounds (which is really huge for a 7 month old). But, he has started crawling, can sit himself up from being on his stomach and even does push ups! This morning he weighed 22 pounds. He is up to 27 inches now, so long and lean Trevor is on the way. Maybe some of his clothes will last a little bit longer now :)

Traitor....
I kind of feel like a trader, but D got tickets to the first Cowboys home game in the new stadium so off we went! How did I marry a Cowboy fan?? I am seriously starting to think that Tim Russert is rolling over in his grave. I am not a band wagon fan because "nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills". I (barely) lived through 4 super bowl losses...2 to the dang Cowboys! I was a little happy when the punts were hitting the monstrosity of a television screen...just a little. But, you can't pass up a date with a giddy husband when you have a 7 month old :)
Ridiculous....and, distracting!
