Go Gators - National Champions 2008

Although we really would have loved to go to the game in Miami, with Trey in our lives that was not a possibility so we decided to have a party to watch the game and to celebrate Jimmy's 32nd birthday. What a wonderful birthday present to watch the Gators win another national championship!!

It is not a game without plenty of friends and food

As you can see Trey really enjoyed the game

Colorguard Reunion

Yes I know some of you may be shocked to hear it but in high school I was on the colorguard - for those of you who do not know the terminology those are the girls that twirl the flags in the marching band. After 14 years and with the help of facebook, a few of the girls got together for a reunion over the holidays. It was great to see everyone and catch up and hopefully it will become a more regular event.

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2009!

Trey Loves Bathtime

Bathtime is Trey's favorite time of the day - literally when we just start walking up the stairs and say the words bath he starts giggling and bouncing in excitement. Thought we would share a few pictures as there is nothing more adorable than a naked baby :o)

Trey's First Christmas

Anyone who knows me knows that I love Christmas - Jimmy lovingly calls me the Christmas Nazi - but I have to say that the joy of Christmas reached a whole new level this year with Trey to share it with. It was so much fun to decorate his room, shop for him, watch him open presents, etc. It was a whirlwind couple of weeks but somehow it all managed to get done and I think that Trey enjoyed his first Christmas and I know that Jimmy and I did.

Trey's Christmas Tree - a pirate theme of course!

One of Trey's many Christmas outfits - this reindeer one was courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa and Trey looked like such a big boy in it.

Trey's first Christmas present - Megan O and Amanda came over for a movie night and we had our annual Christmas get together - Trey loved the shiny bow and was more interested in it than in what was inside the package

One of our many Christmas celebrations was with our neighbors - here is a picture of the Elberon babies, Brad, Taylor and Trey - it was so cute as they all had on their striped Christmas PJs and were just checking each other out.

Look Mommy, isn't Taylor pretty?

Trey's first Christmas morning - Look Mom and Dad, Santa came!!

Man this tissue paper tastes good

I really like my stacking cups and check out my slippers - oh and did you notice that I am doing a pretty good job of sitting up all by myself.

For Christmas breakfast Trey got to try bananas for the first time and they were a big hit.

Trey's big boy Christmas outfit - how cool do I look?

Look everyone, I got How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Christmas Dinner with Nana, Papa Steve, Aunt Wendy, Grandma and Grandpa

With Grandpa

The day after Christmas we traveled to North Tampa to have Christmas with Great Aunt Paula, Great Uncle Ryan, and Cousins Justin and Logan - here is Trey and Daddy - as Paula pointed out there will come a time when Trey will not let his Mom dress him in a sweater vest :o)

Logan was nice enough to share his Rays cowbell with Trey and Trey thought it was awesome!!

Hanging with Nana and Papa Steve - a great end to a wonderful Christmas week!!

Tampa Girls

The Tampa Girls at our annual holiday fondue party at my house - a great time of year to be thankful for such great friends!!

Happy Six Months Old

Trey got to spend the weekend of his six month birhtday shopping in Orlando with Mommy, Nana and Great Aunt Paula. It was supposed to be Dad and Trey's first night alone but Dad was sick so off Trey went with the girls.

For six months we also tried drinking from a cup for the first time as Trey has never really liked the bottle so we are trying hard to get him to get liquids in other ways.

Oh and we also love to play with our feet!!

My First Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Bradenton with Aunt Wendy and Wendy's roommate, Chevy. Nana had just gotten back from Guatemala so she came also but Papa Steve was bringing the boat back with crew so he spent Thanksgiving in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico.

Nana and I spent the morning watching the Macy's Day Parade and making our first baby food for Trey. Many of my Mommy friends had told me that purees were simple so I decided to give it a shot and they were right. In honor of Thanksgiving we started with pumpkin and butternut squash. As you will see below the butternut squash was a real hit.

Unfortunately Thanksgiving weekend we realized that Trey had caught a bug and we ended up in the doctors office on Monday morning and found out that Trey had bronchitis and an ear infection. The little guy was a real trooper as you would never have known that he was that sick but we spent the next week at home on a nebulizer which was not fun.

Trey's teachers made him his Indian headdress at school so we picked up Nana from the airport in it to give her a good laugh.

Trey did not find the Macy's Day Parade as exciting as Mom and Nana

My first taste of butternut squash - Yummy!!

Clearly my first veggie was a hit.
