Trey is One!

 It is crazy to think that just one year ago my little man looked like this:

 
And now he looks like this:
We feel so grateful to have him in our home.  He is such a fun and loving boy.  We celebrated with our family and this ball cake.
Happy Birthday Buddy!  We love you!
(Added on July 18th)
At one Trey:
  • Loves Balls -  hits and chases them around the house
  • Adores his Siblings - lights up when he sees them
  • Plays cars and makes cute car sounds too
  • Drinks Milk from a sippy
  • Says Mama
  • Says Dada
  • Yells BYE from the good-bye window every morning when Dad leaves for work
  • Eats almost anything but is still more picky than any of the other kids
  • Takes two good naps everyday (if we let him, sometimes we just have to play!)
  • Likes it when we play catch with his big red ball
  • He is an outdoor kid.  He loves to play in the backyard with the big kids
  • Thinks bath time with the boys is a party
  • Can't go to sleep at night unless Jenna is in their room too.
  • Isn't really a morning guy
  • Says cheese, please, trees, shoes
  • Smiles almost all the time
  • Has an adorable giggle
  • Ryder makes him laugh better than anyone (This is hilarious to watch)
  • Tries to climb the stairs when I'm not looking so he can get up there with the big kids
  • Can get down the stairs by himself but I only let him do this still if I am right behind him.
  • Stands up in the middle of the room all by himself (12.5 months)
  • Stands up balancing with a ball and then soccer tosses it from above his head
  • Crawls on his hands and feet
  • Doesn't want to miss Story, Scriptures, Prayers before bed.  
  • Loves the swing at the park
  • Is such a "big helper" when it comes to unloading the dishwasher
  • Is a good sport when it comes to going and going.  In fact he says "Go-Go" when we play outside.
  • Is learning to enjoy wrestling time with Cooper.  (Good thing because Cooper isn't going to give up)
  • Was a big fan of fireworks on the 4th of July
  • Loves his blanket (thanks Aunt Cindy) and signs Sleepy when he wants a nap
  • Likes books even though he usually just pulls them all off the shelf and occasionally eats them.
  • Still isn't a huge fan of being reverent at church.  Thanks to my dear friend Margaret we are making it through
  • Is tough to get dressed.  It feels like trying to wrestle down a rut pigglet and put clothes on it.
  • Enjoys his thumb.  He only sucks it for the most part in his bed.  Which is a blessing and a curse.  We figure it will be less of a problem later but for now when he is tried and grouchy we wish he would grab it.  (He will if we give him his Wow or Blankie.

Wow, friend! You've outdone yourself - that cake ROCKS! Trey is such a handsome boy, and he looks so much like Ryder did!
We miss you as always!
Send hugs to all your sweet kiddos, and a hello to Garrett!
