I want to remember all the funny things that Trey says as a little boy, because I'm sure there will be a lot!

Having a discussion about who is a boy and who is a girl.
Bobby: And what is Gia?
Trey: Gia's a girl
Bobby: What are you?
Trey: A boy.
Bobby: What is Daddy?
Trey: Daddy's a boy.
Bobby: What's Mama?
Trey: Mama's a big boy.

We did the marshmallow test with Trey. In a word, "hilarious."
5/4/16
Trey was in the living room reading his "sing along elmo" book, and he was singing "Big Bird has a little butt" to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb." Then Gia started laughing and they both began to sing that song as they danced around the living room laughing.
5/18/16
We were going to Great Harvest to get breakfast, and Trey asked Bobby, "We going to the combine harvester place?"

Trey: "Nana, I want you to read me stories."
Nana: "Okay, do you know which one you like?"
Trey: "Yeah. I know everything."

Trey and I are playing a game with cars and taking turns saying, "I win" as we push our cars. Bobby says, "I win." Trey says, "No Daddy. He (the car) takes the gold from you. He put it around his neck."

Me: Trey, you're funny.
Trey: Nuh-uh.
Me: You make me laugh.
Trey: No, I make you serious.

After Trey went to the bathroom and I got him new underwear because he had peed a little bit in it:
Me: Trey, go put your pants on.
Trey: They have pee-pee in them
Me: I don't think so, your underwear wasn't very wet.
Trey: Let me go smell them [my pants].

Trey: Daddy, let's make a bet. If I win, we watch Monster Trucks. If you win, we watch kid shows."

Trey, while sitting in Bobby's lap:
Trey: "Daddy, did you feel that? I farted on you."
Bobby: "No buddy, I didn't feel it."
Trey: "They were little farts."

Earlier, I had told Trey not to pick his nose because it was making it bleed.
When Nana and Papa were putting Gia and Trey to bed, Papa saw Trey with his finger up his nose.
Papa: "Trey, didn't Mama say not to pick your nose?"
Trey: "I'm pushing them back up."

Joey's birth story
So, I was hoping that I would go into labor on my own this time around because I do labor naturally and it's much worse when you're being induced. I had made an appointment for an inducement on the Thursday after my due date, but honestly didn't think I was going to need it because I was having so many braxton hicks. On Wednesday, I was over 40 weeks, so we went to see our doctor for an extra appointment. He measured the baby at 7lbs 11oz, and said that if it were him, he would go ahead and induce the next day. He has always told us that nothing good comes after 41 weeks, and the hospital didn't have any other dates available until I was 41 weeks. I wanted to wait, but Bobby was convinced that we didn't need to wait any longer, so I conceded and kept the inducement appointment.
All day Wednesday after the appointment I was in a bad mood. I felt like I had no choice in the induction and wasn't being given the chance to do labor naturally. Mostly, I knew the pain I was in for and didn't want to face it. But we packed up and went to the hospital the next morning at 9am. At first, there had been a miscommunication and they had cancelled our appointment for that day, but they were slow on the floor and said they could get me in at 10:30 (or that I could keep the appointment that had now been made for Sunday morning). We decided to go ahead with it since we had everything worked out for baby sitters for the kids and such. We went home for a little bit, and I was able to fix my hair and re-prepare myself for the induction.
When we went back to the hospital, I was more confident. It was a new hospital to me since my other two were born at another hospital. The nurses at the front desk were very nice, and one asked me why I was so scared. She wondered if this was my first pregnancy. I told her no, it was my third, but I knew what an un-medicated induction felt like and wasn't looking forward to it. I could then see the surprise on all the nurses faces when they realized I wouldn't be getting an epidural. The nurse asked why I wasn't getting one, and I said that I don't like the idea of needles in my back... I would rather deal with the pain of labor. The truth is, there are many reasons I don't get epidurals, but I didn't want to go into all of that.
My nurse took me back to my room and gave me my hospital gown. They let Bobby be with me the whole time, which was different from Trey's induction at the other hospital. The IV was the least painful I've ever had. The nurse numbed my wrist and then got it in on the first try.

Trey - 22 months!
Our boy turned 22 months a couple weeks ago. Life has been pretty busy trying to get everything done before baby #3 gets here, so I haven't written an update in a while! I'm going to have to try to remember all that's happened with Trey in the past 2 months.
He's still a big kid... 3T pants, although length wise he really needs 2T, and 2-3T shirts. He probably weighs as much as Gia at this point. He wears size 6 shoes and size 5 diapers.
He can put on his own crocks.
He LOVES to be outside. He LOVES to pretend to mow the lawn. He will get in his little coop car and pretend to go to the grocery store and get a cookie.
He loves to go see "baby Joey" at the doctor's office because it means he gets a sucker. Dr. Davis gets a huge kick out of it.
Trey is definitely still a big fan of mama... he gets jealous if I hold other babies and wants me most of the time. However, lately Bobby has spent a good bit of time with him because of their date and my stomach bug, and he has become super attached to Daddy. This is a great thing since Joey is coming soon and I will need him to go to Bobby often.
His favorite books are The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Ca-pil-uh book) and Pat the Bunny (Bunny book). His favorite shows are Elmo and Super Why.
We got a new baby monitor system for my baby shower, and it allows us to talk to Trey & Gia in their rooms from our monitor. He loves to talk to Daddy from inside his crib. It calms him down and is really cute.
Right now he plays a game with Nana (since she's staying here). He yells, "NANA!" and she yells back to him, "Trey-bert!" Super cute.
He doesn't eat quite as much as he used to, I feel like. He is more picky of an eater lately. He loves to eat the apples right off our tree, and he still loves eggs and cheese. He's not a big fan of bread, which is okay with us, but it means that if I need to make an emergency meal of PB&J, he won't really eat it.
His favorite color is yellow and he LOVES airplanes ("big jet!"), so we're going to do the boys' room in gray, navy and yellow and make it an airplane theme.
Special thanks to Brianna Goodwin for the next few pictures from our maternity shoot!

He loves on Gia's baby doll... just getting ready to be a big brother!
"Shhhh, baby. Night night!"

Airplane Date!
Today is Friday, our weekly date-days. Bobby and Gia went fishing again, and I took Trey to the Air Force Museum because he LOVES airplanes. I mean, even when there isn't a plane in the sky, he points and says, "airplane?" Take this picture, for example. All we had to say to get him to point was, "Trey, where's the airplane?"
Bobby made him laugh a moment later, and he covered his mouth because he thought it was so funny. Love this kid!
First, we went to Einstein's Bagels for breakfast (I had a coupon), and he ate more of my muffin than the bagel bites.
Trey makes a great fish face, so we did that for a while :) Makes me think of my friend, Kristi.
Once we were at the museum, Trey just wanted to ride in the stroller for a while and look at the planes. He would call out the different colors that he saw, but mostly he just quietly took it all it. This was a different response than what I expected... I thought he would be hyper and run all around, but instead he was contemplative.
Trey was fascinated with the guy doing repairs on one of the planes. He just wanted to sit and watch him for a good 5 minutes.
We went back outside, and this time he wanted to get down and walk around.
Although he loved the planes, his most favorite part of our date was playing in the rocks. He just sat down and played in the rocks for a long time! He also had to get back in the stroller because he wouldn't stop throwing them.

Summer Bubbles
My kids love bubbles. Gia is a pro at blowing them and Trey has gotten good at it as well. It's been one of their favorite things to do this summer.
The kids like to blow bubbles and have me pop them, or they try to catch them back on their bubble wands.

Trey always wants to hold his own container of them, but after about 15 minutes, he ends up dumping out the rest of them onto the ground and playing in the puddle (so, of course, we buy the cheap bubbles!). After he dumps them out, he has to dunk his wand into a container that someone else is holding. Thankfully, he has the best big sister in the world and she doesn't mind sharing with him at all :)
The bubbles often make Trey laugh :)

Trey - 20 months & our date
Trey turned 20 months on the 13th... wow! That means only 2 more months until the baby arrives and only 4 months until he's 2! This boy is definitely a water bug. He loves to splash, put his face in the water, and fill & unfill cups. He also laid on his back a week ago in the bathtub, which scared Gia to the point of tears but was really cool because he started to float (I had my hand under his head all the time, by the way). Thankfully, Nana and Papa got the kids an outside pool, so they've been able to enjoy swimming more!
He probably still weighs around 29 lbs, but I can tell he has slimmed down in the past month. He's gotten a little taller, but I don't know how much, and he's in size 6 shoes (still in size 4 diapers, but I think 5s are right around the corner). Trey knows when he goes "pee-pee or poo-poo," but I'm not fighting to potty train him yet. I'm okay changing 5 diapers a day and don't want to hold him up to the potty yet. We're not in a hurry :)
Trey can now jump. He can go straight up, or he can jump forward (sometimes he lands on his bottom, ha ha). His favorite color is yellow and he points out yellow things everywhere, and he's definitely perfected all of his other colors as well. He can count to 10 if we help him remember the number 7, and he's beginning to recognize his alphabet. He repeats everything, and he uses a lot of 2-word sentences and some 3-word sentences. He still loves his milk in the morning, and gets really grumpy if it's not ready right away (I've spoiled him).
Trey loves to help us throw things in the trash and is pretty compliment when asked to pick things up. His attitude has gotten SO MUCH better over the past few months to the point where he no longer has "bad days." He has his moments (usually when he's hungry), but I think our discipline and his growth of understanding have really matured him. He has come into the "tackling" stage, which Gia is learning to tolerate. God knew what He was doing by giving us another boy because Trey's going to need a wrestling buddy!
We're a little over 2 months away from adding a baby to the family, but Trey still has no idea what's coming. He does still love babies, though, so hopefully he'll like his little baby brother.
He has a bad habit of dropping food off his tray. It drives me crazy, and he knows he shouldn't do it, but does it when he gets full. At least we have Nola to clean up after him (although I sometimes make him get down and pick up the food).
He loves pancakes, mac and cheese, popsicles, broccoli, cooked carrots and humus, milk, and SMOOTHIES! He loves his smoothies! We've been making them almost everyday, and he drinks them down and asks for more. He calls them "noomies." So cute!
I tried to get a mini photo shoot with the kids last Sunday, but it only semi-worked. Here's the best ones I got.
This is the face I got when I asked Trey to say, "cheese." He's said it, but with this face.
Trey and I also had our date last Friday (the 10th) where we went to our local splash pad and then out for ice cream. He had a lot of fun and did really well with the other kids (he also did really well with his first ice cream cone!)
When I told him he could eat the cone, too, he went straight for the side of it. Made for a messy experience, but cute picture!
