Baby Trent

So, everyone calls Trent..."Baby Trent!" Everyone!! Not sure how this started, but even our pediatrician calls him Baby Trent. Hunter has called him Baby Trent from day 1. I have never heard him just say "Trent." Pretend that Trent is a professional athlete, can't you hear the announcers say, "Baby Trent starting off the season strong. Good catch by Baby Trent!" Hahahahaha!! He is such a sweet boy and Baby Trent is very fitting! Trent can now be held on my hip, like a "big boy!" I love this milestone, it makes motherhood much easier! He is also babbling away. He has a pretty loud voice, but it has the sweetest tone!

Baby Trent got sick last week. He caught Hunter's cold (probably because Hunter is ALWAYS in his face!) Dr. Brack heard slight wheezing in his lungs, so decided to do 2 days of breathing treatments to prevent full blown bronchitis. It was so sad to do the breathing treatments. He loved the steam mask. The steam and noise of the machine put him to sleep! He slept a TON...like almost 24 hours straight! However, he woke up a new and refreshed baby! So, the boys are on the mend!

We had our first Christmas family party last weekend. My dad's family is huge, so we meet early to kick off the holiday season...just to ensure everyone can come! Trent slept the whole time in the back bedroom because of his cold, but Hunter had a blast with his 17 cousins (15 of them are under 6 years old!)

We are so busy this holiday season- borderline too busy! I do everything that my mom used to do....which means shopping for my 18 immediate family members, tons of cooking, tons of wrapping! All this on top of friends, Scott's family, kids, etc! However, in all the business, we do not overlook the meaning of the Christmas season. Scott and I make a point to slow down and eat dinner together, say our prayers at bedtime with the boys, listen to Christmas carols, look at decorations, and just enjoy our time together and be grateful that God has greatly blessed our lives!!
