So, today was Trent’s 9 month check up at the pediatrician. Luckily, for us MawMaw Ada was nice enough to take him for us since work has started back up for Trevor and I already and she watched Little Man on Thursdays it worked out wonderfully!
Current Stats:
Height: 30 1/4 inches (90-97%)
Weight: 23 1/2 lbs. (90%)
Head: 47 inches (90%)
Our Little Man is doing great!! MawMaw said he was super the entire doctor visit. As usual, with strangers, especially the fairer sex he was smiling and cooing and just working that Spradley Charm! He has to make sure and gets everyone’s attention. He will make an effort to smile and look at the person until he gets their attention and they smile back. Trevor and I get such a kick out of this! It is hilarious!
Big Trent has been visiting with us for the past week! We really enjoy having him here with us. Little Trent just loves him and crawls over to him every chance he gets for some Big Trent attention!
Let me explain this picture. So, Taylor calls and wants to go eat at Olive Garden. She, Ada and Big Trent were on there way and called to see if we wanted to join. Trevor was exhausted and wanted to pass on the offer, but I was up for it and started to change clothes. I was about to walk out the door and Trevor handed me Lil’ Trent to take with me, I was hesitant since it was already 6:45 and I know how my baby loves his routine at night….long story short, he is in bed by 8 every night, which makes dinner out not so much fun if it interferes with bedtime.
Well, we get to Olive Garden and it is a 30-35 minute wait so we leave to try another place. We go into BJ’s, again another 30 minute wait there. Finally, Taylor has the idea of Hooter’s. I tried to sway her, feeling like White Trash taking my 9 month old son into Hooter’s, but Big Trent agreed and it was all over after that.
So, in this picture Taylor captured my son checking out our waitress. He had watched her walk from our table all the way over to the drink station. Priceless!!!
Trevor and I have been taking walks with Trent just about every weekend since summer started. We wanted to mix it up with bike rides too. So, in order to do we needed a way to cart Little Bit around with us on our bike rides. I went to Academy and found a bike carrier for the back of the bike and then had to go out and find a helmet that was the right size for Trent as well. I brought it home and tried it on him and he was to say the least, not happy about it at all. Trevor and I both hoped that once Trent was on the bike and it was in motion that he would forget about the helmet on his head and enjoy the ride, since he LOVES his walks in the jogging stroller! Turns out that Trent LOVED his bike ride too was he and Daddy were cruising the streets of Coles Crossing!
I love how he was actually using the handle bar. He relaxed towards the end of the ride and had his hands on his little knees and was chilled back in his seat.
Did I mention that he also enjoyed playing in the box that his carrier came in….what kid doesn’t? He got in it and watched Kung Fu Panda from the box!
Chalyse and her family came in this past weekend. As always, Trent had a great time playing with his cousins and getting their full attention! Peyton is always watching out for her little Cousin, noticed the hands on Trent ;)
When Trent first saw this doll on the floor, he crawled over to her and started talking to her. I think he really was thinking she was real. He kept giving her kissed over and over again!
We met cousin Kelley and Ava for lunch on Saturday. Yes, we met at Casa Ole as usual and had a great visit. Trent gave Ava kisses and played while we had lunch.
Great weekend!!! Too bad school is just around the corner! Trevor and I are really going to miss getting to hang out with Little Man so much! He is so much fun and such an awesome baby!!! He does something new everyday! It is great being home with him during the summer!! He is on such a routine now!! It is wonderful!!!
Things that Trent likes at 8 months
