Excited for my Lil' Sis to arrive . . .

So mom's been on bed rest for 8 weeks, and now we are less than three weeks from baby Laurel's delivery day (8.26.10). The doc said mom could do more now - Hooray! And we are all getting so excited to meet Laurel. So we decided to take some fun pictures while mom was on bed rest to give to Laurel when she arrives . . . Dear Laurel,
I can't wait to give you a big kiss and sing to you the "Happy Birthday" song (I've been practicing) when you are born. I want to be a good Big Brother to you - I'll always protect you and love you, even though I'll have to toughen you up too (a big bro requirement). Can't wait to show you how to dance and do somersaults! We are going to have so much fun!
Love,
Your Big Bro Trevor

Learning to share . . .

So, I'm already having to share my mom with my Little Sister . . . The doctor decided it was best to put my mom on bed rest three weeks ago. So, mommy's laying down at a 45 degree angle or less to keep my little sister from showing up early, like I did. But the good news is that while she's been laying low, we've had lots of family and friends over to take my mind off it. Here's me hangin with my friends Luke and Lane:
Mom's so thankful for all the help. Daddy's been "Super Daddy" these days too, but we are all making it work and are thankful that Laurel is still inside mommy's belly, safe and sound. Mommy is 31 weeks tomorrow, so we still have a ways to go. Please keep us in your prayers.
Hugs and Kisses! (this is my new favorite thing to say). BTW, I am talking non-stop, and counting to 19 and learning my colors. And now since I'm such a big boy, my mom and dad gave me a big boy bed! It is awesome, with cool monkey sheets and a step to get into it. Sometimes my parents find me in the living room on the couch in the middle of the night, or quietly staring at them while they are sleeping. I guess that kind of freaks them out, but I sure like the new freedom!

I also wanted to share some special wedding wishes to my favorite new Bride and Groom - Aunt Hollie and Uncle Timmy. I love you guys! (Click Play button below)


And to wrap it up, I'm still perfecting my dance routines (click Play button below):

I'm going to have a Little SISTER!!! :)

Sorry, it took so long to tell you the news, but my parents have been hogging the computer. :)

Anyways, here is how my parents found out . . .

They went to their favorite special occasion dinner spot on the San Diego Bay (Island Prime) and when they arrived gave a sealed envelope with the results of the sonogram to the waiter.

After a delicious meal, the excitement was mounting . . . it was with dessert that they were to find out if I was going to have a little brother or sister.

The waiter brought out the dessert with a pink umbrella and pink candle that said congratulations in chocolate . . . and then handed us the card below as he said, "You are having a GIRL!" My mom asked him to say it several more times, because she wasn't sure she was hearing him correctly - and as soon as it sunk in, the tears started flowing . . .

They read the card and it was confirmed. My mom yelled out, "I really wanted a girl!" I guess it just hit her at that moment, how much a girl would mean to her. Dad welled up with tears too . . . this little girl is going to melt his heart. Good thing they have me around to keep them grounded!

Here they are together after finding out the news.

Lastly, here's a recent picture of me from Easter, with my buddy Austin.

By the way . . . more big news . . . her name is going to be Laurel Rose. :)
(still working on a middle name)

And through many prayers this pregnancy is going very well and Laurel is growing and doing great! Mom is now 22 weeks pregnant and still doing workouts with Dad. God is good.

I'm 2! And I have a BIG Announcement . . .

My Shrek B-day Party:

Donkey is my favorite! I loved my Shrek Party!

We played pin the tail on "Donkey" - this was my great grandma's game originally.
We all decorated "Gingy" cookies - yum!

My Cousin Braydn has a good eye for design.

I love when everyone sings to me!

My new favorite toy from Uncle Tim & Aunt Holly!

Playing with Nonnie! My favorite way to watch my favorite movie "Shrek" with all my animals!Me and my Buddy Spence!


I love to go hiking with my Bapa and Nana Rose and Cousins Tye and Chris! I walked a full mile by myself! I also went horseback riding with my Nana two weeks ago - I LOVED It!

And finally for my BIG announcement . . .

I'm going to be a BIG BROTHER!!!!

My mommy's due in late August and we will find out if I get a Little Brother or a Litter Sister in early April!! Can't wait to find out - I already love kissing mama's belly. :)

A Merry Christmas Moonwalk!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Happy Birthday precious Jesus.

Time "Fly's"!

Life in the fast lane is pretty exciting, but it hasn't left me much time for my blogging. So, for those of you who have been asking for updates . . . here's a few from the past four months:

I went to the NICU reunion and saw some of my old friends, rode on a pony that was just my size and loved playing in the petting zoo area with daddy. All my friends were doing pretty well, but most still weren't walking yet and some had mild health conditions.
Overall, we were all very grateful to be there and it was fun to go inside the NICU for the first time as a healthy BIG boy and visit the two twins and their family that are now in the crib that you all helped donate for my birthday. What an amazing gift - thank you!

Me and Em - sharing grapes.

By the way - I LOVE horses! Here is me with Uncle Timmy and Christopher saying hi to Dante, my Nana's horse. I even help Nana feed them oats and hay. Can't wait to go on my first ride!

Aunt D, Daddy and me on game day!

This is how I look at Daddy when he's acting crazy:

My 2nd Halloween:

Me and my friend Josiah (the turtle) -
both not happy about picture time.

The Tank twins & Leedles, Mommy & Me, and KJ & Annika

My babysitter, Monica and me! :)

Halloween trick-or-treating with my "chick" Sophia. We had so much fun with the Disslys!

The Fam!

I waited patiently at the door, and when they would answer they
would give me a piece a candy and then I would give them a piece of mine
. . . isn't that how it works?

The Dissly's! Thanks for a fun weekend!

Mom taught her well . . . she'll hold my hand, but told me she was too young for kisses. :)

Riding the carousel with daddy was the best! We also went on a train around the park!

Enjoy the pumpkin pie . . . I know I will!

We are giving thanks to all our family and friends who have blessed
us with their love and friendship this year. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Have you seen my moves?

Well, I'm growing up to be quite the character . . . my favorite things right now are music and dancing . . . and I pretty much never sit still. I had my mom video a few of my new moves for you to watch below.

Which one's your favorite?

Maybe someday I'll be on my parents favorite show "So, you think you can Dance?" Would you vote me "America's Favorite Dancer?" ;)




I call this one Dance Machine:

And this one's called Bye, bye, bye . . .

And for my next number, I'd like to harken back to a little Axl Rose:



And last, but not least, check out my floorwork:
