Out of the mouth of Trevor...

On 2.23.10 Trevor had a cold. I was a little nervous because I didn't want Jacob to get it so I told Trevor to cover his mouth, wash his hands, and stay a little farther back from Jacob. It came out of my mouth a lot for a few days. Every time I would tell him to do one of these things he would ask "why," and I would say "because you are a little sick" and then he would ask "why" and I would say "because you have a cold!" Trevor would then wrap his arms around himself and say "brrrrrr". He thought I meant he was cold! Too funny. Also, when we would have these talks I would say Jacob can't get sick, and he would once again ask "why" and I would reply "because he is a little guy" and then Trevor would mimic me and say "little guy, little guy." The funny part of this is Trevor can't always articulate very well so instead of saying "little guy, little guy" it came out "he'll die, he'll die!" I chuckled every time he said it.

Caught in the act...

It was so cute...the othe day (2.17.10) while I was working on the computer, I looked in on Trevor playing in his room and this is what I found...

I caught him reading (okay looking at pictures). It made me so happy!

Setting the Table

Trevor is such a great helper...the other night Nick was making dinner and Trevor decided he wanted to set the table. Here is the outcome...mustard and forks for everyone!

Trevor also figured out how to pull his pants "way high" so that they are high waters. He thinks it is pretty funny.

Bath Time...

I wish this could have been caught on tape...the second time we were giving Jacob a bath I was giving him a pep talk about pooping. Jacob had jaundice and he hadn't poop very much this day so I was telling him to poop and how important it was. Well, Nick was taking his diaper off and had his legs up while he was talking it off. I am in the background chanting poop, poop, poop...and guess what Jacob did...he had a huge projectile poop that got all over Nick's shirt. The poop probably shot out 2 feet. It was so funny. We laughed and laughed. Jacob thanks for listening to mom!

Home Sweet Home...

After 2 days in the hospital we could take Jacob home.
Here I am getting Jacob ready to go into his car seat. I am giving him the you are going to meet your brother today and you guys will be the best of friends and never fight, argue or cry!

In his car seat...not loving it.

Dad found the binky.

Jacob's welcome home sign.

Trevor was so excited to meet Jacob. It was so cute to see Trevor want to look at him and touch him "soft"--that is what Trevor would say every time he touched him, I trained him well. He wanted to hold him right away so we let him, but after he held him for about 2 seconds he was done. Trevor loves Jacob and is very concerned about him. I can't wait to see these two brothers grow up together!

(This picture was taken a couple of days after Jacob got home.)

Funny story about Trevor: every time he saw Jacob's umbilical cord he was so concerned because he thought it was poop. It was pretty funny. He would say "Jacob's poop, Jacob's poop."
