Trey with Papa


Where's Trey?!

Trey being silly!


Trey is officially TWO now!!

We celebrated today with cake & ice cream & Elmo balloons. I cooked a special lunch of pot roast. Trey ate some pot roast & loved the cake with Elmo on it. Papa & Nana were here all weekend to celebrate with Trey. He misses them already. We sang "Happy Birthday" to him & he just stared at us like we were nuts.

We went to the McWane Center yesterday for Trey's first trip there. He loved it especially the water table where the kids wear waterproof aprons & get to splash around a table with running water. On a cold Saturday, the place was packed with energetic kids-what a madhouse!! I am so sad that we forgot the camera (@#*?&!) & have no photos of it. Nana made some with hers. We then got a quick bite at Newk's & went to Whole Foods Market-Trey & the grandparents first trip to both.

Trey got a wicker toy box(Pottery Barn for Kids) from the grandparents & a wooden puzzle from us. Plus some Elmo DVD's from us so he can watch "Mo-Mo" in the minivan & not just at home-as he recently requested when we were traveling!

In case you're wondering...Trey got a cute haircut for his "2 year old" look. Still my sweet doll-faced boy with the blue eyes!

New words this week: garage, "big truck", loud-he says this when commercials come on TV (but never about himself!), choo-choo train & "bye bye big train" when the train was going away (got caught a lot by the train this week), & NO alot. No is not a new word for him but his use of it has skyrocketed the last couple of weeks. He says "No cat", "No Mommy" & "no-no-no" to his toys & food when it falls. Hilarious!

He has sleeping until 9am(!!) most mornings the last few weeks & goes to bed by 7pm. But he has not napped all week at daycare! He will nap at home if we get him settled down for it. He actually has requested "night-night" several times the last few weeks! He goes to his pajama drawer, gets PJs out, then runs in the kitchen & asks for "bottle"! I still heat the milk so tonight he started pushing the buttons on the microwave. Unbelievable! I think he is ready to take care of us now!

We are so blessed & happy to have Trey & look forward to many more years with him.

We still can't believe he's two. We go Tuesday for his 2 year well-baby appt.

What a great day!! I hope he remembers some of it.

Our weekend...

Trey got a special treat this weekend. PaPa & Grannie Phillips (my folks) came from Florida to visit. He was so excited when they got here, he ran around the house screaming!

We had fun and Mommy & Daddy had some free time including "date night". I got a much needed pedicure & went shopping. Ruben & I went to dinner at Firebirds & saw The Dark Knight. Great Batman movie-Heath Ledger was Brilliant as the Joker. If it had to be his final performance, it was incredible.

I think Trey is teething again-lots of dirty diapers for Grannie to change! :>)) He developed diaper rash from Saturday am to pm. The grandparents spoiled him & he loved it. He cried when they left today and was saying "Papa, Papa" as they were driving off. He hasn't figured out how to say Grannie at all yet.

Ruben grilled pork ribs today & I made brownies so we had a great family dinner. I wish my parents could have stayed longer &/or lived closer. I have to plan a visit soon. Trey loves the huge yard to run around in & the country air where they live.
