Kid's Market and Mom

Just found out myself but wanted other people to know in case they didn't that the Kid's Market is in town. The Spring sale began Monday, March 30th and it goes through April 4th.
If you are not familiar with this it is a HUGE consignment sale for kid's stuff. Everything for premies thru children's sizes in clothes, toys, equipment, and anything else you might need for your little one.
Check out their website for specific times this week. If anyone would like to go I will be heading that way on Saturday. It is 50% off day. Friday is 25% off day.

1st College Baseball Game

We went to Joe Lee Griffin Stadium at Samford Univeristy to watch the Bulldogs play our beloved Auburn Tigers on Tuesday night. Trent was very interested in the game. (Hope for Daddy) Even though he was a little restless sitting in the stands he loved being this close to the field and sitting on Daddy's shoulder.
Most of the time while watching he would suck on his thumb and rub Daddy's shaved head.
Great family outing, we all had fun and enjoyed seeing our Tigers come out on top. WAR EAGLE!!
PS. You don't really feel old until you go to a college event and take your child. You sit and just reminise of those college days. LOL!

12 Month Dr. Visit

Tuesday, Trenton went for his 1 year old well-baby checkup. Dr. C. said everything looked great and he was a healthy and happy little boy. We were very excited to hear that. Here are a few of his stats...

Length = 30" - 50%
Weight = 21lbs 2.5oz. - 40%
Head = 18.25"

Dr. C. predicts he will be lean and about Daddy's height. He is doing great with the weaning. We are on our last week...he is down to one feeding a day. Please pray that it continues to go smoothly through the next week as we stop all nursing. I am so thankful that we have made it to my goal of one year and I thank God that He has aloud us that opportunity.

Trenton's First Birthday

Saturday was the BIG day! My little fellow turned 1 year old! It was so much fun, we had sweet friends and family come spend a couple of hours with us at our house. We missed those who couldn't make it. Thank the Lord it was a beautiful afternoon so we could sit out on the porch and play in the yard. More on that in a minute.
Ok, if you will indulge me for just a minute while I journey down memory lane over the past year....it really does go fast. So all in all in the last year we have moved 3 times, 2 states, and 3 cities. Craziness. I feel like it was just the other day that I was pregnant and living here in Birmingham while David had already moved to Texas. I was doing nothing but walking and waiting on Trent to get here. Anyway, then moving to Texas when he was 10 days old. Our 6 months there was to say the least interesting. We know that is where God wanted us to be and we were there for a purpose. We met wonderful people and gained more extended family. It was such a growing experience I'm not quit sure how else to describe it. I'm very thankful for those lesson although some were hard. I know that God will use them down the road in someone else's life through us. Then when Trent was 5 1/2 months old, we moved back to Birmingham. Such a relief to be home; to be back in our home church and around family and long-time friends. O man, what a blessing. Since we have been home, Trent has started crawling, then talking, and now walking!! It seems like it is something new everyday. David and I are loving it.
So back to the party..... he was asleep when everone arrive so this is him making his Grand entrance. He stood there for about 5 minutes.
When he warmed up, he was a social butterfly. He went to anyone who had food and sat and ate whatever they would give him. Poor child, his parents won't give him his own food.
Below is his cousin Laura (Meredith's Niece) giving him some of her crackers.
It was such a beautiful day so we were able to go on the back porch which Trent loved.
This is him with Grandmommy (Meredith's Grandmother) have a good time on the swing.
Had fun opening presents, love the paper and the boxes.

So the cake. Started out slow and got braver as he went. SO FUNNY! Check out the video.
