Trevi's January Adventures!

we got a zoo membership for Christmas (thank you G and Pa) so decided to go a couple of days ago! It was chilly and rainy but that made it all the better because the zoo was empty and the animals were all in their little nests or had just been fed so it was awesome animal watching!
Check out our awesome time!

 BATH TIME!
I am starting to realize Trevi understands more than I think she does! She can go get something I ask for, she understands if I ask her if she wants something and just yesterday I asked her if she wanted to go take a bath and she ran into the bathroom and got so excited!! So, here are some photos from the little monkey in the tub!

 just smiling all the time! 

 her favorite thing to play with is books, even in the tub!


 silly!

 check out all those teeth! You may even be able to see the molar in the back!


my sweet girl!

 Trevi and a New Blog!

no, don't worry, you won't have to follow us somewhere else again... I hope! I wanted to give you a couple pictures of the peanut and give you the link to go and visit my new food blog!  Now, I know there are 1000's of food blogs out there and no, mine might not be any better than the rest but I can guarantee you there will be some delicious food on there!! You may even want to make a few of the recipes and dishes yourself! So, head on over to kitchenofkate.wordpress.com periodically to see what I have been cooking!!! Also, if you have a recipe you would like to share with me I would love to test it and then give you the credit on my blog!! You could famous!

 this girl just wants to be outside ALL the time! Makes me excited for Maui!

We got a juicer for Christmas and seriously use it everyday!!! Trevi not only loves the juices, even the ones with kale, but she has learned how to drink out of a straw!!! Yahoo, for that milestone!

 14 Months!

Ok, well to be honest I have no idea what is going on with my blog but I can now add pictures again so I guess we will stick with the old address for as long as we can! Here are some silly photos of the peanut lately! She is 14 months old today and while everyday is so fun and so amazing, because she is learning so many new things, she is also testing her limits a lot and seeing what she can get away with.  I have been practicing patience and trying to be clear with my expectations by talking to her and trying to understand what she wants so she doesn't get so frustrated.

 she thought her monkey "Howard" stuck to her leg was pretty funny!

 Auntie Mich, Uncle Chad and the girls got her stacking blocks for Christmas! 
I stack, she knocks them over! She loves it!

 somehow we don't ave any Seahawks apparel for the little peanut so this shirt had some Seahawk colors so we wore it for the playoff game!! GO Hawks!

 I asked her to smile and this is what I got!!!!

 she learned how to stick out her tongue!

watching the game! I spy a Hawks fan in daddy's lap!

14 months is an amazing age! Not only is she learning something new everyday I am learning some new things as well! Trevi is exploring her surroundings and testing her limits! She doesn't seem to be naughty but instead just interested in everything and frustrated when she can't have or do something she wants. In turn, I have been learning patience as well as working on not getting frustrated with her.  I think she really feeds off of how I react so I try to stop, listen, talk and explain things to her.  I know she understand way more than I realize! 

Trevi's stats:
*she sleeps from 630pm-745am
*she naps for about an hour and half
*milk is her favorite food
*she will eat anything out of a food pouch so to get her to eat my creations I bought these http://www.littlegreenpouch.com/  these save us money and allow me to decide what she eats!
*she runs and walks very proficiently and seems to catch herself well when she gets off balance
*she says shoes, mama, dada, go, and no! She can make lots of animal noises!
*we have a total of 9 teeth.  3 on top, 4 on the bottom and a molar on the top and botton on the left side.
*her hand is all healed from her burn!
*she may be a lefty because of that. She still eats with only her left hand.
*She loves loves loves to be outside and runs to the door anytime she hears it open!
*Books are still her favorite toy! She reads them in the car and constantly brings them to you to read to her!
*she loves the vacuum both on and off! Maybe she will help with house chores one day!
*We are headed to Maui at the end of the month.  This will be T's 3rd trip but I am not sure the plane ride will be as easy as it was the first 2 times.  She is much more active! Pray for us!!! :)
