carrots

Rice cereal is good... but carrots are FANTASTIC! We recently made the transition to solid foods, and Trevor couldn't be happier. When feeding him rice cereal, he circles round and round in his exer-saucer making us chase him round with the spoon. However, for carrots, he'll stay perfectly still with his mouth open and ready.
Needless to say, the bib is not optional.

painting Trevor

After Trevor's (or our) dedication, Trevor and I headed to Michigan with my parents to try and escape Todd's sickness and his double pink eye - poor guy was REALLY sick. Trevor did end up with a cold but luckily not the virus Todd had or pink eye. While in Michigan, I painted a portrait of Trevor. It was a strange experience painting someone you see everyday and trying to capture their essence (it was akin to a self portrait). I really enjoyed the opportunity to paint again; watching Trevor during the day does not afford much uninterrupted time - so it was a real treat.

parent dedication

Trevor was dedicated (or I suppose, according to doctrine, that we were dedicated to raising Trevor in the faith) on Sunday, January 29 at Madison Park Christian Church. He wore a sweater knit by Grandma Judy, which received many compliments. Grandpa Tom and Grandma Linda drove down from Michigan to celebrate.
