Mr. Smiley

Andrew loves to be outside! It brought his first smile!

BIG SISTER

Here is Andrew chillin'. Waiting for mama to change his diaper. Lauren loves being a big sister. She is very proud to sign "Baby" and point to her new baby brother when we are out. She helps me burp him and pushes the swing trying to keep him from crying. She tries to share her toys with him, and has even attempted to give him a Cherrio or two. Around 5:00 pm they like to form an alliance against their mom and see who can scream the loudest.... we are trying to nip that one in the bud!

His mercies are new every morning...

Andrew loves to go! He is on his best behavior when out and about. He gets bored sitting around the house.

My two favorite guys!

Yes you see a theme with the way Aaron is holding Andrew. He has horrible reflux and the "football" hold seems to keep him calm!

Today I took Lauren to speech therapy, as I am pushing our limosine ( double stroller), Andrew screaming and Lauren waving at everybody in waiting room, I realize my shirt is on inside out! I stop and chuckle, a moment to remember that God has a sense of humor!

Life has been crazy with two under two, but I finally got a few shots of little guy... who isn't so little, almost 11.5 lbs! He LOVES to eat! He gets that from his daddy. Here are a few pics, and more to come.

Happy 4th of July!

Lauren and Andrew enjoyed being in the Shenandoah Parade. We had a fun picnic in the park and a fun evening at the pool.
Lauren LOVES swimming and playing on the splash pad with her Daddy and Uncle Christian.

Lauren walking!

Fun in the garden!

Check out what just showed up in the garden. The sunflower has been alot of fun to watch grow! You can see it from the road.

Just chillin'.... this is Andrew's favorite sleeping position.

The Trott Tribe Adventures

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep, oh how I miss you!!! We are two weeks into being a family of four, and loving every minute of it! Big events- Mom cut her hair off, no time for fixing hair! :) Lauren started walking behind her baby doll stroller. I was just sitting on the couch, feeding Andrew and Lauren comes walking around from the back pushing the stroller. Whatever it takes to get Mom's attention! Boy she got it!
The "Golden Arches" .... here is a pic of the road construction in front of our house. Nothing like waking up to a bull dozer digging in your front yard at six am. Especially after you just fed your baby at 2, 3 and 4 am. :)

Lauren LOVES her baby brother. She washed his face, burps him and makes sure I know when he is crying! She is such a good big sister. I am excited to see the friendship they develop.
