Little Warrior & Lil Sis: September 2010

Friday, September 24, 2010

I've been showing her the ropes . . .

So, I think you all know by now, that "I do all my own stunts", or at least that's what my shirt says. Here's a little video of me, displaying some of my new tricks . . .

Okay, enough about me - I told you I'd post some more pics of the newbie -

Peek-a-boo!

I'm think she's pretty cool, as far as little sister's go. :)

The big difference is, I just don't get as much shut-eye as I used to, what with all the diaper changing and feeding all the time.

In other news - we just went to the NICU reunion to see my old friends from the hospital - no not the horse, silly, the doctor's and nurses and babies I hung with for 80 days after I was born.

Remember my first girlfriend, Emily! Or "Em" as we used to call her. Well, she's still a cutie pie. But I got no love from her. I did get a hug from Sophie though - I think she liked how I played hard to get.

I also got to ride in a real firetruck!! SO FUN!

But I spent most of the day in the jump house!

It was good to see everyone and show off my Little Sister, since I'm the BIG one now. Reminded me just how amazing it is to be here and be healthy.

Our First Family Photo with Trevor

2008 was a challenging and amazing year, with Trevor Jalen Rose coming 3 months early and spending 80 days in the NICU at Mary Birch Hospital in February, then two months of quarentine at home with Trevor (staying away from all the potential germs), to Trevor's first's of learning how to eat without choking, rolling over and sitting up by himself. We have had many ups and downs, but with the prayers and support from our family and friends we have made it through and are thankful for our healthy baby boy. We have been so encouraged by how God has shown His love through you. THANK YOU!!!

Fun Facts about Trevor's Start in Life

-For the first month of life, Trevor's diaper was the size of your palm (and it was still too big)!
-His feet were the size of the top half of your thumb
-His fingers were the width of a toothpick
-The first time Tina fed him her milk, she had to use an small dropper
-Until Trevor is 2 years old, the doctor's will evaluate him according to his "corrected" or "adjusted" age. So, since he was born 12 weeks early, he is measured as a baby three months younger than his birth age. (i.e.: on February 16th he will be one year old, but his corrected age is 9 months).
