Trey continues to amaze and amuse me everyday. He is so full of life and constantly moving. Gone are the days of little squeaks and purrs and knowing that if I lay him on the ground, he will be in the same place when I return.
He is a crawling pro now, but he isn’t satisfied with being on hands and knees. He figured out how to get back into a seated position from crawling and tries to stand or pull himself up whenever he gets a chance. He crawls up to our legs and climbs up onto us when we are sitting with him on the floor. He stabilizes himself on us with his hands, then straightens out his legs in a downward-dog yoga pose in an attempt to stand. It took him only about a week to figure out how to pull himself up to standing, whether holding onto us, the coffee table, furniture, or in his crib. Now, he can’t go to sleep without first standing next to the railing for a good 10 minutes. At first, I kept laying him back down, but then I gave up. After a while, he gives up too. I tried to keep him on the carpet or foam mats while learning to crawl, but he’s always on the move. Now, I try to keep the tile relatively clean and allow him to enjoy his new and interesting vantage point of the house. Continue reading ‘6 months…The Mommy Update’
On February 8, 2007 we fed Trey rice cereal for the first time. He actually handled the new experience quite well and has been eating daily from a spoon ever since.
Every once in a while I run across a product or service that is so great I just want to tell the entire world about it. Even though this blog is meant to be all about Trey, I think I can justify telling you about WinkFlash.com.
WinkFlash is a digital photo printing site much like Kodak EasyShare and SnapFish. We’ve been using the service since Trey was born to print all the digital photos we take. The cost is a mere 12cents per print and a nice flat shipping rate of 99cents. We’ve always been happy with the quality (and we are quite picky) and especially like the “white borders” option.
They also have monthly promotions that we’ve taken advantage of like $5 photo mugs (a favorite of my grandfather’s) and most recently hardcover 100page 9×12 photo books for $20. Heidi just made one of the photo books and it was UNBELIEVABLE how well made it was. The paper stock was very heavy, the colors were crisp, and the full page photos were gorgeous. It was on the caliber of a professionally printed coffeetable book.
Don’t expect “commercials” like this often on Trey’s blog but I feel that WinkFlash.com deserves some great word-of-mouth marketing. I’d highly recommend you check out their photo book sale (ends March 15th) – you won’t regret it.
Over the past couple days we had several photo shoots with Trey to capture him at the 6 month milestone. Perhaps I’m a tad bit biased but as I look through the photos I can’t help but think – “Why did God give us the most adorable baby in the entire world?” Surely there is someone on this globe who is more deserving of such a gift. But who are we to question why… we’ll just keep enjoying every chance we get to look at his perfect little face.
Thanks to Tyler Ross for letting us borrow his digital camera to take all these photos.
