Growing Little Man

Trent is now 7 weeks old. We can't believe how fast the past 2 months have gone by. Trent is now smiling and beginning to coo. He is even working on rolling from his back to his belly. He's a little more than half way there. He is doing pretty good with sleeping longer at night. He usually has about a 5 hour stretch.

Here's a few recent pics:


He loves bath time :)

All wrapped up after his bath. Usually, this part is not a happy time for him but this particular night he was as happy as can be.

Trying to catch a smile on camera...

Big brother Gentry thought he could help by poking him in the head. I promise, this is a smile, not a cry :)

Ready for his first trip to the beach!

A bit of a smile.

Now that's a smile!

Future Artist??

Looks like we may have a future artist on our hands. Guess he's following in the footsteps of his Great Gramma Genge...








I had gone to take a shower and this is what I came back to! Gentry had apparently gotten into my mom's desk and found the permanent markers. I have to say, he is pretty talented. He may have colored all over himself, but he somehow managed not to get any on the carpet around him.

I think we're going to have our hands full with this little guy!

Virginia Living Museum

I've been trying to find things to do with Gentry during our stay in VA. This particular day, we went to the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News. I used to go there for field trips in elementary school, but hadn't been in quite some time. They've done so much with it since then. Gentry really enjoyed running all around and looking at the fish in the many different tanks. We also walked the nature trail and saw deer, opossum, raccoon, wolves, a red fox, bald eagles, butterflies, and turtles.

I was trying to get Gentry to get in the turtle and stick his head out. Over the past few months, he's become very cautious. It's cute to see him exploring things and to stop and think about his next move. Here he is checking out the whole situation.

He decided to give it a try. He poked his head in but wouldn't go any further. So this was the best shot I could get :)

Exploring the big log. There were other kids climbing all over it and Gentry just thought he could be a big kid like them.

Crawling through the log.

For some reason, he really liked running along this bench. I think he played here for about 20 minutes!

Few Days at the Farm

Ok, so I realize it's been more than a month since I last posted. I'm sorry! We've been super busy with the move. However, we were able to make it up to the farm for a few days the second week of May. It was Grandma and Pap-pap's first time seeing Trent. They were also excited to see Gentry, who they hadn't seen since Christmas.
Gentry truly enjoyed being at the farm. He just LOVED it! He even got to ride the new tractor with Uncle Jeremiah. Both boys with spoiled with love by their grandparents.
We already can't wait for our next trip to the farm.

Enjoying his cake! Such a mess :)

Sadie got ahold of Gentry's cow and he lost an eye. Gentry was quick to notice that something wasn't quite right with Cow. Poor Cow....
