We have officially stated baby proofing! We can no longer leave him alone to go to another room. He is too mobile! I mistakenly left him in the middle of the living room one day while I ran to the restroom. When I came out, Trey was across the room, happily chewing on one of Gibby's toys. Trey is really starting to "talk" lately. Gordon and Trey will go back and forth making noises, which just cracks Trey up! Trey is a smiley baby and is laughing more and more each day.
Trey is a bit of an adventurer. He doesn't scare easily. He will try to stand and reach for things that are too far away. While standing, he will also let go completely to use both hands to chew on a toy. This works out at times, but this has also caused a few rough falls. I have a feeling we will have to keep a VERY close eye on him as his mobility increases.
Sleeping is much better! He usually wakes once, to nurse, around 4am. Occasionally he will wake around 1am, but this isn't even once a week anymore. He takes two to three naps a day. We are so proud of all the progress he has made!
I am starting to miss the little baby phase. I see smaller babies when we are out and about, and I miss the days of cuddling with a sleeping baby. BUT, I am really enjoying Trey's phase of baby-hood at the moment. He is interacting with us. He knows us and shows affection to us. It is so touching for Trey to see me across the room and smile at me. He reaches out to me to hold him. I feel so loved by this little man.

I cannot thank God enough for all of the blessings I have. I have a wonderful husband who is supportive of me and challenges me to do things besides being Trey's mom. I have a wonderful son who smiles, laughs, and brings me joy. I have family who love Trey as their own son and are always willing to babysit or help when I need it.
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever."
