Trey cheering at the Astros game!

We went to the Astros game for Mother's Day. Trey had a great time!

Our first experience with Trey at the Astros game was a disaster. Trey was only about 4 months old, and he was scared of the crowd and the noise (very unlike him, because he has always loved being around people and lots of activity). But every time the crowd would cheer, he would start bawling!

This time was different, thankfully. Trey loved the game, and every time the crowd would cheer, Trey would join in, as shown below:

Because it was Mother's Day, Trey and Mommy got to run the bases after the game! Trey really enjoyed the wide open spaces. And for Mommy, a lifetime Astros fan, it was fun to be down on the field.

Slacker

Okay, I realize I have been fully disappointing you all on the blogging front. I promised more details about our Astros outing and still have not come through. But don't give up on me! More is to come, I promise.

Right now Trey is visiting his Edwards grandparents in Roanoke. By all accounts, he is having a grand time. Mommy misses her sweet little baby, but she is also enjoying a little peace and quiet at home. Also, since Mommy just started a new job, she's had a good opportunity to get organized in her new office and stay late to get up to speed on things.

Beach Baby

We just returned from a trip to the beach in Florida! It was Trey's first trip to the beach since he has become mobile. We had so much fun, it is hard to know where to even begin.

Trey had to get used to the sand and the water, but once he did, he had a great time! He had a great time splashing around in a little tidal pool that Daddy spotted, and he also loved floating around in the water.

We were in Florida for a wedding, and Trey was the only little one out of the entire group of guests. For that reason, he was a star. Although quite the handful, everyone loved seeing Trey and watching him run around having fun.

We stayed right on the beach, which was convenient for Trey's escapades. He loved the seagulls at the beach; when he spotted one, he would point at it and run after it, trying to catch it (he was never successful). He also saw a couple pelicans, and when we saw some sculpted ones hanging inside the airport on the way home, Trey spotted those as well!

There was a very nice fisherman who let Trey hold a small fish he was using for live bait! Trey didn't quite know what to make of it. He was very interested in the small creature until it started squirming in his hands, and after that, little Trey was terrified of the fish.

All in all, we had a great time. We can't wait for the next beach adventure!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all! Trey celebrated Mommy's second Mother's Day by having lunch with Mama C, Aunt Kacie, Uncle Ryan (who came all the way from Austin just for lunch), Mommy and Daddy. Then, after a quick nap, Mommy and Daddy took Trey to the Astros game, where everyone had a wonderful time! Trey loved clapping every time the crowd cheered, and he and Mommy even got to run the bases after the game! We'll publish a full report when Mommy has some time to fully devote to the story.

Mr. Popular

Trey attended not one, not two, but THREE birthday parties today! All of them were a lot of fun. At the morning party, Trey even got to ride a pony! He sat up there like a big boy with no help from Mommy or Daddy (even though we were both right beside him just in case). Unfortunately, Mommy neglected to bring her camera, so we don't have pictures of the fun day. But we promise it was a very fun day!

Poor Trey is exhausted after all of the excitement. He was hardly able to nap in anticipation of the afternoon parties, and to top it off, Mommy and Daddy drug him to dinner with friends later that evening and kept him up past his bedtime. I hope he'll be in a good mood for Mother's Day!

More teeth!

Trey has two new cuspids now -- both on the top. He is filling in the gaps! He has been chewing on everything in sight lately and is particularly attracted to skinny, straw-shaped objects. I guess those help him get in there to really put pressure on the gums.

He's also getting better about letting us brush his teeth. Sometimes he will grab the toothbrush and insist on doing it himself, but he doesn't really know what he's doing yet.

Trey is ahead of the teething curve, as usual, so we can expect those bottom cuspids any day now.

Trial Update

Mommy went to trial on Monday and the judge loved her. He granted her all kinds of motions and was very impressed with how prepared she was. He loved her so much that, after the other side did his jury examination, the judge declared a mistrial! So, Mommy didn't actually get to try her case this week. But, it's good news, since now the judge wants Mommy to file a motion to dismiss the case (long story, and you'd probably have to be a lawyer to fully understand...). Also it meant that Mommy still got to see a lot of Baby Trey this week, which is always good.

Crocodile Hunter

On Tuesday of this week, Trey wore his safari vest to school. Daddy Tom picked it up for him in South Africa before Trey was even born! It finally fits. Instead of taking a morning nap (Trey dropped that one a long time ago), Trey decided to wrestle with crocodiles, a la Steve Irwin. His teachers captured it with a picture.
