Party Time!
Even thought he doesn't officially turn one until Tuesday, Trey celebrated his first birthday today! Mommy and Daddy threw him a bash with lots of his little friends and some family. Mimmie traveled in from Shreveport for the occasion, and even Daddy Tom was able to come all the way from Nigeria to be here for the party. Trey had a great time sharing his toys with all of his friends and shoving cake and icing into his mouth - he ate an entire cupcake! Afterward, Daddy Tom treated us to a family dinner at Ibiza, where Trey was as well-behaved as ever and gave out plenty of kisses. After working all weekend getting ready for the party, it's safe to say Mommy is more pooped than anyone and will likely crash even better tonight than her little baby coming off a sugar high.

Anna's Birthday
Trey helped celebrate Anna's FIRST BIRTHDAY at school on Tuesday. Here is a picture of him enjoying the mini-cupcakes Anna's parents brought for snack time.

Moving up!
Another graduation day is coming for Baby Trey. Next week, he moves up to the Movement 1 class at school! Movement 1 is for babies who have started walking or are around 1 year, depending on space and needs. Sure enough, a spot opened up for Trey just as he was meeting both criteria, so off he goes!
Movement 1 will have lots of new challenges for our little boy. In addition to learning to master walking, the toddlers (can we say that now?!?!) sit at little tables and chairs (bye-bye highchairs!), feed themselves independently (which he does with bites of food, but not yet with a spoon), learn to stand and wash their hands (without a baby wipe? what?!?!), nap on mats (no more beds?!), and line up at the door for rides in the Bye-Bye Buggy. They also work on their vocabulary and start learning Spanish!
Trey is excited to see some of his old friends who have already moved to Movement 1, but he is sad to leave some of his other friends behind for now. Trey has become very close to Anna, in particular. They play together all the time, especially in the morning when the other (younger) babies are napping! Hopefully they will be reunited before too much longer.

First Steps
Trey took his first steps this morning! After Daddy dropped Trey off at school, Mommy went for a visit on her way from a meeting to the office. After playing a little while, Trey pulled up as usual, and after some encouragement from Mommy, he took about 3 steps into her arms! (Rumor has it he was taking 6-7 steps at a time at school on Monday.) We will try to capture a video soon for all to see!

Almosts
Trey had a weekend of "almosts".... almost walking, and almost talking!
First, for the sake of the complete record, I must note that we went to Fort Worth this weekend for a wedding. Trey wasn't wild about spending so much time in his car seat (at least on the airplanes he gets to move around some!), but we got through the trip without many complaints. Cousin Holly babysat while Mommy and Daddy went to the wedding (thanks Holly!), and by all accounts they had a good time.
Trey also saw his first Superbowl this weekend, although he was more interested in pulling on Daddy's hair, trying to get his fingers into the 7-layer dip, and staring down our friend's cat (I don't think he'd every really seen a cat before).
But, back to the "almosts"... Trey is almost walking! This weekend, we caught him a few times standing unassisted and taking a step before realizing he was upright and quickly dropping down to all fours. And Trey is almost talking! In fact, we think he might be saying his first word - "hello." He says it in a very cute way that would be nearly impossible to describe in writing. On Sunday morning, Trey waived his cute little hand while saying "hello" to Mommy. So while we're still figuring out if he knows what the word means, he is close to recording his first word in the baby book.
