Getting cuter every day!

For the rough spots we hit with Trey and his multiple personalities two weeks ago, this past week has been great.  He was happy, growing, cheerful, and silly.  Randy and I had a lot of fun with him and even went out on two day trips.  Trey was a total trooper on both of them.

Trey and I started our first infant music class last week through Music Together (www.musictogether-pdx.com).  It was awesome!  Trey seems so soothed and calmed by music (we first noticed this through the Guns and Roses and Metallica lullaby cds), and it was such fun to see him watching the other babies.  I learned some new songs, motions, and moves to do with Trey when we are home.  I have already noticed that the hand motions and body touches they taught with Eensty Weensty Spider calms Trey right down on the changing table and keeps him from kicking his darling little feet all over the place.

The only place Trey seems to like this travel swing is on the deck.  I guess he and Tango both enjoy looking at the trees.

Aunt Julie and Uncle Tim came over on Thursday for dinner before they left for their ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY vacation to Las Vegas and New Mexico.  This fall weather reminds me of last year when we were putting the final touches on Julie and Tim's wedding.  Congratulations to them on a successful one year of happy marriage!

Before we went to Hood River on Saturday, we stopped in Mosier so Randy could fish for a bit.  We went to the same place where he was on the day I went into labor with Trey.  As I walked back from the river to the car with Trey in his stroller, I was imagining what must have been going through Randy's mind almost 3.5 months ago as he quickly made his way back to his jeep and rushed home to find his wife about to give birth.

After our stop at the river, we went to the Hood River Hops Fest with Jen, Steve, Zoe, Theo, Kris, John, and Porter.  We have gone to this beer festival for several years with Jen and Steve...they will be moving soon back to Wisconsin and we will miss our annual traditions.

Between taking day trips together, hosting our first dinner party since Trey was born, and feeling such joy and happiness at the pure cuteness of our son, this week was just great.  We are loving watching him grow and change, become more engaged, and learn new baby skills.  He is just so much fun!
