Later that day he went with me to buy coffee at a Starbucks on the Ohio Turnpike. Culturally speaking, I think that these two acts officially qualify him as an American Citizen.

First Trip to McDonalds!
Trevor had his first visit to a McDonald's on the way to GG's in Toledo on the 25th. He loved it. He ate four McNuggets and a good portion of our french fries. Which was quite a sacrifice for mom. Ask Al, I am usually very territorial about my fries. (So territorial that I would not let Al use my fries for the first picture. I made him use his own!) Just goes to show you how motherhood can change you!

December 21st
On the 21st we had "Christmas Morning" at our house. Not a lot to tell. Trevor was still not so sure about opening presents. One of his presents played music and he would turn on the music and start dancing. But he stopped when I got out the camera to take video.
Here's a picture of him eating his Christmas waffles. I know it's not very exciting. But there aren't a whole lot of good pictures of him from this morning.

December 20th
Ok, going to make up for the posting drought. We'll do this by date.
December 20th was "Christmas Eve" with Grandmom and Grandpop Johnson. Aunt Sis, Ellen, and Peggy were there too. Trevor isn't so sure about the opening presents thing. He wasn't real interested, which made the present opening portion of the evening a little longer and more tedious than it needed to be. But the company and the food were excellent and we had a good time. The best part of the evening was watching Grandpop, Ellen, and Sis try to put on Trevor's shoes for about 20 minutes before asking me to come in and finish the job. I wish I had gotten picture!
Anyway - here are some things I did get pictures of...

Long Time No Post
So, Matt (my advisory buddy teacher and fellow MHS marching band director) comes into advisory on Tuesday and the first thing he says is, "It's been a month." And I felt guilty for neglecting the posting for so long. I'd like to to apologize to Trevor's adoring public.
And now that we are in Illinois and Trevor is playing with Grandma and Brian's flight is delayed, I find my self with some time to update the blog. So I will start a posting spree and put up as much as I can before we have to leave to go pick up Brian and D. Hopefully I'll be able to get a lot done, but don't hope for too much because B and D are sitting on the runway with someone blasting Madonna very loudly and no way to escape. I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone.

Thanksgiving Weekend
This weekend was a mix of awesome and not so awesome. Thanksgiving was great! The food was fantastic! (Janet is an AWESOME cook!!!) And, of course, the highlight was introducing Trevor to several of his aunts, uncles, and cousins. Trevor was awesome and everyone loved him and took pictures of him like the paparazzi. Trevor also had a great time playing with his cousins, Ben and Evan. Ben and Evan were awesome with him and it was really fun to watch the three of them.
Then came Friday. During the day, I baked the cake for Trevor's birthday party on Saturday. But toward the evening, as Al and I started to decorate the cake, we began to feel a bit queasy. We thought that maybe one of the ingredients of the cake was bad, so we decided to be on the safe side, we'd throw it out and get a cake from Shop Rite in the morning. Then over the course of the night, we both threw up. So we thought maybe it was something we ate at dinner on Friday night. Then Al's mom called to say she and Grandpop were sick and so were several other family members. What we think happened is that we caught a stomach bug. The end result of which is that we had to cancel the party. Thankfully Trevor did not get sick, but he was very put out that mom and dad opted to lay like lumps on the couch on Saturday and watch the Avatar marathon on TV instead of playing. What can I say, we were both sick we could barely move, let alone play. But hey, at least Avatar is quality television.
Anyway - We are disappointed about the party, but, it's OK, these things happen. We are just happy that everyone is on the path to recovery!
We thought you might like some pictures of Turkey-day so:
Trevor and Grandpop
Trevor and Uncle Ron. Trevor liked Uncle Ron and sat happily on his lap several times!
Trevor playing with Ben and Evan. (That's a coaster on his head. Apparently he likes the coasters at Grandmom and Grandpop's. I don't know, the kid walks with socks in his mouth and wears coasters on his head. What can I say?)
More play with Ben and Evan. Ben and Evan were crawling on the floor with Trevor and Trevor decided that Ben was a horse. Like I said, they got along really well and I am so glad they got the chance to play.
Trevor and Aunt Sis watching Uncle Bruce carve the turkey. I love turkey.
Trevor eating the turkey that Uncle Bruce carved. His bib is pretty cute. It says, "I'm stuffed" and has a picture of a turkey on it. We tried to take a picture of it, but Trevor wasn't cooperating during that photo session and most of them turned out like this:
and we wouldn't want to post pictures like this one. Oh, wait...
Trevor and Daddy taking a Turkey nap!

Trevor's Chew Toys
I don't know how many people have commented on what a happy baby Trevor is! Well, he is, most of the time. But he's also teething and so he often takes on the persona of "Mr. Grumpy Pants". We just usually don't take pictures and video of this alternate personality. It also means that he puts just about anything in his mouth. So I thought for this post it would be fun to share some random pictures of some of the things Trevor has chewed on in the past couple of weeks.
Beaded teething rings.
Keep in mind that this is just a short list consisting of items we have captured in his mouth on camera. The complete list is much, much, much longer!!
Beaded teething rings.
Baby nasal aspirators.
Shapes from his elephant shape sorter.
Ice Packs.
And, of course, the a fore mentioned sock.
