Check it out!

Lauren loves to walk now! She is only taking 6 to 8 steps at a time, but each day brings less wobbling and more excitement. Lauren especially likes it when people cheer for her after a successful attempt. Needless to say, we've been doing a lot of cheering. Andrew enjoys watching the action, and should follow shortly!!!

Lauren loves eating with a spork! She loves scooping up her "O's (aka Cheerios).

Lauren has been helping with Andrew's feedings. They are becoming big buddies! It is sweet to see their friendship blossom! I can leave them on the floor and they like to play together. Lauren is doing great sharing her toys and demonstrating to Andrew how they work. She also likes to give him "knucks"--he hasn't quite picked up on the concept yet!

Fall Happenings

Yippee for coats! We are so excited it is starting to feel like fall! The Trott clan has had lots of fun adventures lately- here are some of the highlights!

Andrew- Loves to laugh, roll across the room and get fed by his big sister. Wearing 6 months clothes, and sporting a "faux hawk"

Lauren- Still working on walking, and making progress. Lots of new words . It is so fun to see her come alive and be able to communicate. She was able to follow a pattern in a book and read the word "more". SO encouraging! Hopefully going to start horseback lessons with an Equine Therapy program here in The Woodlands.

Aaron- Busy at work. Getting ready for a big fishing trip/bachelor party for Uncle Dave. When he gets a few extra minutes he has several projects going on in the wood shop.

Leanne- Finishing up a Ladie's Bible study at church. Getting ready for Uncle Dave's big wedding- Dec.3rd. Finally getting some much needed sleep during the night!

Two Steps!!!

Today Andrew went for his 4 month check-up. He had a great report! He weighed in at 14 lbs 15 oz. and 25 inches long! He is officially sleeping through the night! 9:30 pm- 6 am- Woohoo!!

The other exciting news is Lauren took two steps today! This is a huge accomplishment! We are having a walking derby this week. Everytime she does a lap around the house pushing her little walker she gets a sticker. She loves this game and is very proud of all her stickers that are hanging on the frig.

Good News!

Lauren went to the cardiologist today for her yearly check-up. Dr. Reddy said her heart looks great. In his words "this is one of the best repairs I have seen ". It looks like everything is growing together nicely and there is no need for another surgery! He said things looked so good on the echo cardiogram we don't need to come back until summer of 2012. We are so thankful for this great report! God is good!

Oh boy! Rice Cereal!

Oh boy! Rice Cereal!!! This is Andrew's new favorite thing! Since we are nearing 4 months I thought it was time to introduce Andrew to rice cereal. He LOVES it! I just mention rice cereal and he stops fussing. When I put on his bib his feet start kicking in excitement. Lauren loves to feed him- we will try to get that on video next! It is too cute!

Our little Mozart!

Lauren loves to play the piano! She gets that from her Nanny! It is exciting to see her blossom in the area of music. We are working on two pieces- "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb", we are using the Suzuki method of instruction. I am very excited to see all that God has in store for this little musician!!
