Walking!!!

On May 4th, 2013 (2 days before 13 months old) Trevor took his first unsupported steps!! 4 to be exact. What a fun time! I can't believe how fun it is to watch our little one reach and go through each milestone. He had been standing unsupported for a week or two and Autin's parents just happened to be in town so they got to witness the first steps. Everyone was in the room so I said "ready?" which was the trigger word that Trevor had learned would mean I was going to let go of him and let him stand alone, so I let go and Austin, who was sitting on the opposite side of the room, said "walk to daddy", so Trevor took four steps before falling down. He received a huge standing ovation, which made him feel pretty cool, so after that he tried and tried again, able to go further and further. He started out walking with hands straight up in the air for balance, and now he's starting to walk everywhere. I'm so thrilled and excited, it's so dang fun. Who knew having kids could be such good entertainment? lol.

1 YEAR OLD!!!

Trevor turned 1 on April 6, 2013!!!! I will never stop talking about how fast time goes, it's insane!!! Austin and I just want him to stay little forever, haha, but at the same time it is so fun to watch him go through the different stages and hit milestones. At his 1 year doctor appointment he weighed 17.5 pounds (4%) and measured 28 inches long (4%). Trevor can walk all over the place holding on to finger tips, furniture or a push toy. He is getting braver and braver but hasn't taken his first steps on his own just yet. He can say momma, dada, and hi as well as plenty of jibberish, lol. Trevor is quick to smile, is very attached to his parents and definitely understands the meaning of "no". He is a total boy and loves throwing all different types of bouncy balls as well as every other toy he can get his hands on. He sleeps through the night most of the time, but regresses sometimes and wakes up once a night at times. He still has big, beautiful blue eyes, fair skin and super blonde hair. I still think he looks just like Austin, but some people tell me he looks like me (I think to try to make me feel good, lol).

 

For Trevor's first birthday party we had a Pirate themed party. All of the Lemke family came as well as a few of our good friends and their kiddos. Trevor had no problem digging in to his cupcake when the time came and he devoured the whole thing in no time!! Here are a few pictures...our good friend Cassie made him his birthday hat, isn't it so stinkin' cute!!!

 

 

 

We also did family pictures to mark his 1 year milestone. We just love this little dude!
