My Boys

Trey at 3 weeks

Now that I'm back to blogging, I just had to post some pics taken of Trey when we was three weeks old. These are the lovely handiwork of my super sweet and very talented co-worker Melanie. She graciously came to our house one Friday evening after work since we'd just been released from a second and very long hospitalization and mommy was in no condition emotionally, physically or otherwise to leave the house. It was such a blessing to have Melanie come to us and capture some of Trey's sweet characteristics while he was still a newborn! Thanks Mel!


LOVE his sweet smile.
(Though was probably caused by gas since he hadn't learned to smile yet!)





Didn't want to give up his passy



Sweet little hands

Precious feet and toes!




Such beautiful eyes!

Road Trippin It

We made our first big road trip as a family of three to South Carolina in mid August, and Trey was a champ in the car, sleeping almost the entire way there. That's definitely the Adams in him. They can tackle crazy long road trips (I'm talking 12+ hours) like it's a trip to the grocery store. I've gotten better at "road trippin it" since I married in, but mine's a learned skill. For them, it's in their blood. And Trey's definitely got those mad road trippin skilzs. For that I am grateful. I was starting to stress about a 6.5 hour trip with an 8 week old!

It was a special time for Trey. He was able to see his Uncle Reeves and Aunt Bec again and, for the very first time, meet his cousins Tallon, Tess, and Tate.

He also got to meet his great-grandparents - Papa and Nana, and Robert's Grandaddy.

We had so much fun playing with the cousins and visiting with family. We can't wait to go back later this fall.

"Heal in the name of Jesus!"
(It totally looks like Tate is laying hands on his cousin. Hilarious.) 

Crazy Uncle Reeves

We even got to take a family pic, though T decided not to cooperate.





Outakes

It ain't easy trying to pose in a chair with an elephant every week...

2 months!

It's August 30th, and my sweet boy is 2 whole whopping months old today!

Crazy how time flies.

Here's what Mr. T is looking like these days. What a cutie pie!

You can see that we're "chunking up" quite a bit, filling out those thighs, "chubbing up" the cheeks, smiling, cooing, making lots and lots of baby talk and giving big toothless grins too.

Just precious. And so fun to see his little personality start to shine through.

Here's a look back over the past eight weeks:

1 week old: not a big fan of mr. elephant

 
 

2 weeks old: not again!

3 weeks old: at least now i know he doesn't bite

4 weeks old: what happened to my hair?

6 weeks old: getting used to the bald look

8 weeks old: getting big enough to take down mr. elephant if i had to
