Trent had a big weekend!! His Aunt Chalyse and Unlce Louis came in town to visit for the weekend and brought his cousins; Carson, Peyton, and Presley. The girls just love their little cousin Trent. They are always wanting to hold him or feed him. Peyton is like a mother hen. She just loves to mess with him. The funny thing is that she is 10 years old and weighs only twice his size....she can barely hold Lil' Trent without tipping over. He's a beast! He was in his chair and started to fuss, Peyton leaped to his rescue and picked him up and started to do the whole "side to side bounce" move that she has seen everyone do with him. She is so smart and observant. She is going to be a great Mom one day........MANY years from now!! Presley always thinks he needs a bottle or a diaper change...even after he just finished a bottle or had a diaper change. It is hialrious!! We were all out to dinner Friday night and Chalyse picked up Trent and walked with him some in the little courtyard at the restaurant to keep him preoccupied....and the girls just followed her every move. They want to be where Trent is at all times! I even overheard Presley say "I can't wait to have babies!" Oh my goodness, she is only 6 years old.

Trent is rolling like a champ these days!! We put him on the floor and he just flips from side to side with ease! He hardly likes being in his bouncy seat anymore. He turns in it and just about gets out of it. If it isn't that, he is scooting down to the bottom and is half-in and half-out of it and then he gets mad. He wants to go!!!! He doesn't want to be still anymore.

Trent is such a good baby!! He is basically always content unless he is hungry or tired. Trent and I met Nana and Aunt Erin and Tyler for lunch at Luby's yesterday and he was sweet! He stayed in his carrier the entire time, which is rare these days. He just kept watching us, mainly Tyler. He loves Tyler!! Trent ate a bit of his Mommy's mashed potatoes and thought they were yummy. Then he accompanied me and Nana to Kohl's for some shopping. He was so sweet there as well! He got to ride in the front of the shopping cart and loved being able to see everything. Eventually, Nana picked him up and just about gave herself a hernia by the time we were through walking around the store. It is a true workout to lug him around for any length of time. He is just solid! Nana got him a new set of outfits that are 9 months. He is wearing one today at the sitters and it fits him well...just a tiny bit of room to grow in it.



Oh, and I almost forgot. I made him some homemade food yesterday to see how it went. It was pretty easy and he seems to love it just the same. I made some fresh butternut squash (one squash makes a ton!!!) and some sweet potatoes!! He had some of the potatoes last night and lapped them up along with some prunes. I also gave him some apple juice for the first time last night and he is in heaven with it. He loves trying new tasty things! We are hoping it helps a bit with his constipation. My poor little baby needs a good BM!!! So, I thawed some breastmilk for him to have today at his sitters along with some more apple juice and hopefully that will work for him.
