So Many "FIRSTS"

Needless to say, this month has been full of a thousand "firsts" for both Trey and his parents. Here are some of the highlights...

FIRST DAY:



FIRST DIAPER CHANGE: Was amazingly handled by Tyson! I don't know where I was or what I was doing, but apparently Daddy handled the "crappy" situation all by himself in the hospital! Who would have ever thought? Of course, I think it was the first and LAST poopy diaper he's changed!

FIRST CAR RIDE:  Was home from the hospital



Trey was much calmer than the rest of us

FIRST OUTING:  We went to the Uptown Farmers Market outside our front door on Sunday. We buy the best fresh veggies, flowers, jewelry and yummy cucumber lemonade!

So this is really a picture of his "going out" outfit rather than the outing itself. We're really bad at remembering to take pictures of events.

FIRST  DR'S APPOINTMENT:  While we were waiting for the doctor, I suddenly felt very warm and wet. I stood up and found out Trey had peed through the tiniest of gaps in his diaper and wet ALL OVER ME. I was literally sitting in a puddle of pee. Good thing I wore black : )  When the nurse weighed him at our house five days after he was born, the nugget weighed 7 lbs 2 oz. When we went to the Dr's office on Monday morning, he weighed 8 lbs 2 oz. He gained an entire pound in TWO DAYS. He definitely got that gene from his mother. At our last Dr's appointment he weighed 10 lbs 2 oz.! We love seeing the dimples in his face, elbows, knees... and well, all over his body really!

FIRST RIDE IN THE BABYBJORN: 



He passed out 20 seconds after I put him in it. Do you think he likes it?

FIRST NICKNAME (given by daddy):  "Stripe"   This is from the 80's movie Gremlins. Sometimes he is "Gizmo" the sweet Mogwai gremlin:

And then sometimes he is "Stripe"... the evil gremlin that terrorizes the town

Most of the time he's Gizmo... but sometimes he is definitely our little monster!

FIRST BABYSITTER:  My gorgeous, amazing, generous, hilarious, inspirational, lovable friend Angela! She was the very first friend that I've made since we moved to the cities. She offered to watch Trey while we went to dinner, and it was the most relaxing three hours we've had in a month. She is a lifesaver, and I owe her a LOT! Trey loves his honorary Aunt Angie!

FIRST SMILE:  The moment we were waiting for happened the day he turned 4 weeks old! Isn't this to DIE FOR?!!

I truly think this smile could be the solution to world peace

FIRST MONTH:  We survived!! And (I) celebrated with a cupcake!
