gobble, gobble

Trevor and I ventured to Michigan via Amtrak to visit my family for an extended 1.5 week stay. It was a nice diversion from the everyday routine, and I appreciated the extra hands/help. Todd joined us for the Thanksgiving holiday. Although he did not eat the free range, organic turkey that I had (mmm...), Tre did manage to fill out quite nicely over the trip. He now has a bonafide second chin and dimples where you would normally see knuckles. He is pictured here with Aunt Erin before her wisdom teeth extraction/nightmare.

what's so funny?

Apparently, Trevor has some inside joke. He keeps laughing all of the time. I never knew rattles could be so exciting. Maybe it's just our faces. . .

little sultan

Lately, Trevor has been insisting that we carry him around everywhere. Of course, we understand the need to be held and the excitement of looking at new things/places; yet, he does seem like an impatient little sultan whom we placate by providing continual transportation. We just need a little turban hat.

regarding penny

Penny has been acutely aware of Trevor since his arrival - responding to him with a mixture of curiousity and jealousy. Tre is just starting to regard Penny and to make eye contact with her googly eyes. Neither of them have really mastered the art of looking you straight in the eyes - Trevor's eyes still cross at times (though we are confident this will work itself out; if not, he has a grandpa in the right field!) and we have accepted that Penny's eyes will never be quite right.
