Trevor really LOVES football, and soccer, and baseball, and....

When he talks in his sleep, he says "Football"

Pay it forward....

I am not sure of all the principles of Pay It Forward.  But, I can say that all of my friend's overwhelming generosity with baby/kid things makes me want to do the same for others.  I love seeing Trevor in an outfit that I can say was given to him by Justice and to be able to see Christopher on FB in one of Trevor's cute shirts.  It takes a village and I have such wonderful people in mine!  Take Trevor's room, for example.  We have 2 bookshelves from Nanny and this awesome big boy bed and PB linens from Susan.

I think that a hodge podge room has so much more character than a single theme, and its much cheaper!  The central theme is a palate of colors, some monkeys and geometric shapes but it is a very broad concept. 

The most expensive thing in the room is the chair.  Trevor was 7 days old and had acid reflux so he would only sleep on my chest.  I was desperate to get some sleep and the Lazy Boy chair moves in 2 pieces in the back of the CRV.  No waiting for delivery, load it up!  I don't care that it is $700.  Yikes!

Trevor's "Balloons" above his crib are just embroidery rings with extra fabric from

his railing bumper stretched over them

Thomas' big boy bed with Nanny's bookshelf makes for a fun little captain's bed.

I had bought the clock with decals that I put up in our old apartment so I used new decals to create a new clock face to put our wall clock back up.

Trevor's First Carousel Ride

Trevor's New Morning Routine

1. Ask mama to dump all his balls in his crib with him
2. Tell Mama, "mama bye, bye"
3. Stay in bed for at least 30 minutes, playing with ALL the balls
4. Throw them all out, eventually, and ask mama to come in an pick them all up!

Coloring Table- On A Budget

Start with some cheap ($6.99 ea) chairs from Tuesday Morning
A paper towel holder and 3M strips from Home Depot

Attach the paper towel holder on the underside of an IKEA side table ($7.99).  Get an activity role from Michaels and you are good to go!
If you can get a straight paper towel holder, it would be better.  the curve at the end of this one is too short for the paper roll.  Next time!

Happy Halloween!

Trevor didn't want to wear the Monkey Costume, and really who would blame him? He looks fracken adorable in his Trevor Original...Darth Mustang!

Daycare Chronicles

The secret to being a fabulous, working Mom...flip flops!

Trevor is starting to grasp the concept of sharing and taking turns...sort of!  He loves his Sophie,
but not sharing the water fountain!!
