Easter Weekend

April 14, 2009



We went up to the Spradley Ranch for the Easter weekend. Trevor and I really think that Little T aka "BooBoos" grew up this weekend. He is so much more observant and grown up all of a sudden to us. He is getting so long too. He was spoiled rotten this weekend too by his MawMaw (Trevor's Mom). She was wonderful and wanted to give us a break and at first she said she would get up with him during the night. However, when bedtime came Ada wanted him to sleep with her in her bed right next to her each night. Spoiled brat, I tell ya! Trent absolutely loved it of course and slept through the night both nights for her!! He didn't make her get up at all and Trevor and I got some much needed sleep like back in the old days (old days being Pre-BooBoos). I felt like a new person in the mornings. So nice!!! Thank you MawMaw!!



On the way up on Friday morning, we stopped right north of Brenham and found a great patch of bluebonnets and took some pictures of Little T. He of course loved being outside as usual and even tried a few times to lean over to bluebonnets and eat them. He dreaded getting back into the car seat after this adventure. Oh yeah, did I tell you we circled around the loopy intersection a few times before Trevor would finally pull over somewhere "safe". Taylor and I were giving him such a hard time and making fun of him. We kept saying "hello again" to all of the bluebonnets we kept passing by again....and again before finally stopping in a good, safe locale for Dad.

At the ranch it was mostly windy and chilly, but BooBoos was able to get outside a little bit here and there. Friday afternoon we had a little pow wow outside for a bit with everyone and Trent sported his sunglasses and little hat to block the sunlight. He talked to the dogs and at one point leaned in to give Mama dog Dixie a kiss on the snout. It was so cute!! She is so good with kids. He just watches the dogs non-stop when they are around. He turns his head from side to side to keep up with them. Later on he was being fussy and refusing his nap so I bundled him up real good and rocked him on the front porch. He was out in no time. The outside just relaxes him so much. He is definitely an outdoor kid...thank goodness!!!



Sunday morning while he was playing first thing in the morning he discovered that he can make his noises louder and deeper. He basically woke up the entire Spradley family by practicing his new sounds. It was so funny!!! He was so impressed with himself. We just loved watching him!! The more you talked to him and imitated him, the more noise and talking he would do. Little T is really getting into the imitating stage now.



We got back in town in time Sunday for me and Little T to trot over to Mom's house (Nana's) and visit the Mungovan clan for a little bit before everyone had to jet out of there. Aunt Glo, Uncle Mike, Christine, John, Brenna, Thomas, Kelley, Steve, Ava, and Aunt Erin and Tyler got to see Baby Trent for a little bit. The Mungovan crew couldn't believe how much he had grown since their last visit and asked me " what are you feeding this kid?" I have heard that question a few times. The kid at his 4 month check up was 18.8 lbs and 25.75 inches. He is going to be a big boy!



Monday we dropped him off at his NuNu's house in the morning and he was so excited to see her! He really loves his sitter and she absolutely adores him!!! She's like a third grandma to him! We are so lucky to have her!!! She spoils him. If he spits up even a tiny bit she will change his outfit. I come home each day with half a load of laundry! ha! We got him home Monday after school and Trevor was talking to him lots. Little T can now put his lips together and make the spitting sound with his lips. He loves it!!! When I got up with little mister last night he was doing it after his bottle and then once I put him back in his crib he was doing it while asleep. So precious!!! I just love to watch him!
