Famous last words...

No-No, NO-NO, NO-NO!! Trey has started "no" finally in the last couple of weeks & it has quickly progressed to an emphatic NO-NO!! repeated over & over. Of course, he is only mimicing what we have said over & over to him to tell to stop doing something!

This weekend he started saying "me-me" over & over. We think he is referring to himself or saying it meaning "mine"! He says it when he wants something or if we're tryng to take it from him. Such as the toy kitchen set he was playing with the other day-everyone in Pottery Barn Kids got to hear him scream "me-me" over & over as I carried him out while attemptng to push the stroller-very embarrassing! I think my idea to get his own chair for Christmas is a hit though since I could barely drag hm away from it.

Other new words...knock(he knocks while saying it), truck, dog (vs calling them all cats), "poc" meaning pocket, chair, hair, eyes, nose, blue(for blue colored M&M), color for crayon coloring, socks...& my favorite "oh no" for when something won't do what he wants! His vocabulary has exploded in the last 2 or 3 weeks. Its like he suddenly realized everything has a name & he wants to learn it.

We put up our Christmas tree this past weekend...photos to be posted soon I hope. Trey & I are in Florida now at the grandparents for Turkey Day.

Trey and Daddy

We went to BabyGap the other night & it was Ruben's first trip :)) He found so many cute things for Trey & a matching hat for Daddy. They look so cute together! And the stripy I Love Dad PJs are very cute. I told Dad, no more trips to the Gap w/ you! We bought way too much...early Christmas gifts??!!

Ok, you asked for it...here it is!

Trey's shiner! The bruising has come in & looks just pitiful. I want to buy him a shirt that says "No, my parents don't abuse me, I'm just a wildman!" & have him wear it everyday until it goes away!

Trey's black eye

Trey zoomed off the couch & hit the coffee table tonight like he's done too many times before w/ us both sitting on the couch. Unfortunately, tonight he tagged his left eye just below the eye on the outer corner. He promptly developed a goose egg the size of a marble & it started turning black & blue a few minutes later. It looks so bad & painful! I was so upset b/c at first I thougtht it was his head, then I saw the bump sticking out so far, & he was screaming. But then I got really upset b/c I realized his Christmas photos are the day after tomorrow! He has an oh-so-cute outfit picked out & now we can capture his 1st major bruise at the same time-that's just lovely! We may have to bump that photo a few days or he may have to wear some make-up, a little concealer, a little foundation never hurt a baby boy :))

I just breached the silence of his nursery to check on him (as I often do after a head injury just to satisy my urge to check) & also to check out the developing rock of gibraltar on his face! I told Ruben it will be a great photo to send all the family & folks who don't see him much. Ruben laughed & I told him to expect a visit from Children's Services.

Trey was so tired from 3 days of playing with the grandparents,staying up late, & missing naps that he still went to sleep soon after his dive. But not before he ran into a wall & bumped his forehead! Craziness at the Vuittonet household tonight!

Fun times!

Trey has had so much fun w/ the grandparents the last few days! He has given them a run for their money though. It has been fun to see them interacting & also to see someone else have the same battle of wills w/ him that I go through. He has learned the word "no" in the last few days & says it in quick succesion "no-no, no-no" for emphasis!

So Papa & Nana got to play w/ Trey, Ruben & I went to dinner & a movie(ate @ Heads & Tails & saw Pride & Glory), & I feel like we gained a whole new room in our house! Ruben & I cleaned out our bonus room(for about the 5th time in the past 7 years!) so we know have work spaces again. I filed paperwork that dated back to December '06-you guessed it-the month before Trey was born! The horror!! The good thing was some of was so old I no longer needed to file it. Now I have a space to work on Trey's photo albums & memory book which is almost as behind as my filing!

Trey's 2nd Halloween

Trey had a ball at the pumpkin patch. We took the train in Calera to their pumpkin patch. Trey could not stay away from the huge orange blow-up pumpkin! We did get a few other shots of him but most were of him facing the huge pumpkin.

For Halloween he dressed up as a pirate & we went to a Halloween festival at Kendra's church. Trey had so much fun. Then the next night he went to a Halloween party.He hated the hat but luckily forgot all about when he got there & started playing.

He was so worn out from all the Halloween fun he took a 3 hour nap yesterday!
