Trevor's Birthday Party

Here are some pictures from Trevor's first birthday party. He really didn't feel well, but he was a trooper and humored us by at least tasting the cake and not crying in the pictures. First birthday parties are more the parents and family anyway.

That's One Sick Baby

Poor Trevor has been so sick. He had a fever on Saturday night of 102.5 °F. Sunday was his birthday party and you could tell that he just didn't feel all that well. We gave him a chocolate cake for the first time ever and he picked at it like it was made of lima beans. Something was definitely wrong with Trevor.

Fast forward to Tuesday afternoon when we spent two hours at the doctors office trying to figure out what was going on. Trevor had been sleeping 17-20 hours a day, he was not interested in food or water, only breast milk, and he would scream when anyone other than me even looked at him. The only physcial symptom he was having was a high fever. Finally, after several tests and a shot of antibiotic, they sent us home with an appointment to come back in the morning. Trevor woke up with a rash all over his body this morning and Dr. Christopher was then able to make a diagnosis of Roseola which includes a high fever, lethargy, and a rash that breaks out all over the body once the fever subsides.

Trevor seems to be feeling at lot better tonight. He is eating more and finally starting to smile again. It has been nice to have him wanting to nurse and snuggle all the time, but I wish it hadn't been because he was sick. It sounds like he'll be back to normal really soon, which is great because he has lots of cool new toys to play with from Christmas and his birthday.

Happy Birthday Baby Trevor!

What a wonderful year it has been. I am so proud to be a mom to such a sweet boy. Enjoy this video that I made to celebrate his first year of life.

Stuck on the Roof

Today I went on the roof to do this:Because my husband has been playing too much of this:

Thinking our new neighbors would think we were a:
So I climbed onto the:
via my bedroom window to do it myself!!

I didn't get very far before I noticed hot air pouring out of the open window, so I reached over and closed the window which locked it leaving only 2 inches open.

I could not reach the slider that would release the window, so I tried using the:
I had, but couldn't get it to budge.

By this time I could hear Trevor had woken up from his nap and was:
So I did what any mother would do and very carefully:
