The other day, Truett realized that his green beans were just about the same size as the opening on his squeezy food. This is what happened:

Daddy made him glasses out of his bristle blocks. They are so silly! #blog

Truett's "kids meal". I think they gave him an entire box of Mac and cheese. …

Truett and his buddy Nathan playing at our Home Fellowship outing today.
Mass Photo update!
He’s so silly – Always uses the biggest ball, while he has about 6 others that fit just fine…
Just drawing with chalk
He stole my water bottle!
Having some breakfast
Love this new grin!
I love it when he sits like this
Just reading some books
He snuggled up and went to sleep
He loves to paint with water
He stole daddy’s phone and started tweeting!

February Update
Hey all,
I know it’s been quite a while since we’ve posted, but here’s the recap of all of Truett’s activities over the last couple months. He’s walking, babbling, and getting into everything.
Truett’s Dedication
Truett was dedicated this past Sunday at church. Here’s the video:
Truett’s New Activities
Truett has discovered that his hand tastes really good, and can sooth him when he’s upset. He also does leg lifts when he’s bored. Don’t know where he learned that one!
Truett’s First Trip to the Zoo
A few weeks ago, we decided to make an impromptu trip to Wichita… We decided it would be a nice, cool day to go to the zoo.
Truett’s First Time Swimming!
Today was a really hot day. I had the day off and we spent most of it with our friend & her daughter. We decided it would be a good first outing for Truett at the pool. Well, needless to say, he loved it!
Mr. Happy
Truett’s newest trick is giggling for everyone. Caught this on video, thought you might like to see it…
Showered with diapers…. (clean ones)
Hey Everybody,
Just wanted to send out a huge thank you for all the gifts and especially diapers that we got from Sarah’s shower this weekend.
Sarah’s friend Jen decided to host a raffle at the shower, and the entry fee was a package of diapers, wipes, or the cost of one of these. We ended up with:
Newborn and size 1: 995 diapers
size 2: 384 diapers
size 3: 146 diapers
Wipes: 996
Total: 1525 Diapers
Check out the video:
Thanks everyone who came!

Snow Daze….
So we’re here in the cozy warm of our house. We were hoping and praying not to have to go anywhere today. However, with Sarah’s appointment tomorrow, we would’ve had to got out in the deeper snow. So… We called the Doctor’s office, and went in for the weekly visit today. Everything went well while we were there. Kelly, the Sonographer, is only there on Monday and Wednesday, so we had to listen to Truett’s heartbeat for about 20 minutes, just so we knew that things were normal.
While we were there, we got a call and a text from the Apple Store, letting me know that they were closing for the day at noon. I’m so excited that I get to spend some much needed time with my Rah Rah!
Sarah’s working with her mom on a biography-type book for her grandpa. It’s been a long task, but I’m really excited to see the finished product. It’s going to be a wonderful thing for him to look at, as well as the grandkids, and many generations to come.
29 Week Update… just a little late
It has been a crazy busy, but fun week. My mom arrived last Sunday so I could help her work on a special project. My grandpa has been trying for many years to write a book about his life, and with his memory issues and health problems he has never been able to complete it. We have spent the last week scanning pictures, reading through hand scribbled notes, and trying to fill in the gaps with the help of my Grandma and other family members. It has been quite the undertaking yet it has been a pleasure to be able to take the time to learn about my family history and do something that will make my grandpa so happy.
This morning I received an email from a dear friend wondering how our appointment went this week. It wasn’t until then that I realized that I hadn’t even thought about blogging! We are so blessed to have so many people who care about us and pray for us! I am sorry if we left you hanging!
Our appointment this week was long. We arrived at 8:30 and finally left at 12:30. Let me tell you, that 3 hour glucose test is not fun at all! Luckily I passed with flying colors! I was very relieved! Our ultrasound was great. Little Truett is back to being transverse so we are hoping he will turn himself around in the next few weeks. I think the coolest part was being able to watch him practice his breathing. You could see his little chest rise and fall and see his diaphragm moving up and down. So cool! He is measuring right on target for where we are… accept for his arms which are measuring 2 weeks ahead. His estimated weight is 2 lbs 12 oz. Our sweet little man is getting so much bigger!
I thought he was an acrobat before, but the last week or so has been even more comical! He is getting so much stronger! His kicks and jabs are getting harder and happen more and more frequently. He still is most active when his Daddy is around which makes me smile, and every night he kicks Matt in the bootie as we fall asleep. He wakes me up every morning about the same time, but once I eat breakfast he seems to go back to sleep! Maybe he just gets hungry!
We moved the beautiful cradle into our room this week. (Thank you Mark and Nancy for letting us borrow it!) We have also been getting everything set up in the nursery. We still need to get that dresser refinished but I think we are going to work on that this week! His closet is getting more and more full of clothes and supplies. We had some wonderful friends of our bring lots of clothes to us last week! Their little boy is just a year older than Truett so he has gotten lots of hand me downs!
We have been spoiled this week by both sets of our parents. What a blessing to have them buy us groceries and take us shopping for other things we need. God has been so faithful to provide for us even while I’m not able to work. We are so thankful.
I can’t believe tomorrow will mark 30 weeks. Just a few weeks ago we were worried that we would never make it this far! There were times we wondered if we would even have a baby to bring home with us. What a wonderful God we serve! A God who answers prayers, comforts us, and keeps us safe. We are so excited to meet our sweet little miracle. Just a few more weeks to wait!
Playing games and an update
Our little man is definitely growing! He is getting bigger and stronger everyday! Sometimes I am still caught off guard by the whole experience! I know that sounds crazy, but we have waited so long for our little miracle baby that sometimes it doesn’t really feel real at all.
Last night I was laying in bed playing a game on my phone waiting for Matt to get out of the shower and Truett started rolling around. I quickly put my hand on my belly just in time to feel one of his huge feet kick three times exactly where my hand was. I pushed back and felt him pull his foot back. Next thing I know he is kicking me again! So again I pushed back and that foot was right back kicking at my hand. We played like that for about 10 minutes. It was amazing! I was so disappointed that Matt missed it, but when Matt came to bed, he started doing it again! Over and over he would kick in the same spot. We would giggle and push back at him and he would do it again.
We are getting more and more excited every day! I am continually amazed by the whole process of having a baby. What an incredible journey. We finally got to see some good heart shots on the ultrasound this week now that he has turned around and is head down! Kelly, the sonographer slowed it down and we could even see the valves opening and closing. His little 4 chamber heart looks perfect! We finally got a profile picture too… (Matt needs to scan it so we can put it up). She had a hard time getting it though because he kept burying his face in the placenta! Silly boy!
I’m feeling so much stronger and getting my energy back slowly but surely. I’m hoping that it comes back full force in the next few weeks! I’m running out of time before this little man makes his appearance!
We are continually blessed by all of you! Your prayers, calls, and visits mean so much. Thank you for loving us!
27 weeks…
It has been awhile… Things here have been a little crazy. We celebrated Christmas, Matt’s Birthday/New Years, and Christmas again! After all that partying, I’ve had to spend a lot of time catching up on my sleep!
We had our appointment yesterday. Everything is still looking good! The stitch is holding great, Truett is growing right on schedule, and our Dr is very pleased. We are still going in weekly for our appointments, mainly because I have to get my progesterone shots, but while we are there they always check everything out. All of the staff at the Drs office know us by name and are so super nice. What a blessing!
I’m starting to get some energy back after spending so much time not being able to do anything. I’m trying to take it easy yet keep up with laundry and dishes, but some days the couch just seems much more appealing. We are slowly working on getting Truett’s room ready. I’ve washed some of his clothes and blankets that we have gotten as gifts, cleaned the bouncy seat and other items we purchased this summer at a consignment sale, and I’m trying to get things organized. I’ve picked out some decorating things and I’m getting them painted and ready to hang. Hopefully we will have pictures to post of it soon. We still need to refinish the cool antique dresser that we bought off of Craigslist this summer and paint the changing table to match… maybe we will get to that before he gets here…. Anyone know anything about refinishing furniture??????
Truett is definitely getting bigger! While I still haven’t gained any weight, my maternity clothes are all getting smaller! Last night Matt was laying on my belly talking to him and Truett kicked so hard that he bounced Matt’s head off my belly! I think it surprised Matt a little! His kicks and flips are getting stronger each day. I think feeling him move is the coolest thing I have ever experienced.
We are so excited to finally meet our little man! Just a few more weeks!!!!
