Those are some brows, aren't they? I love that some of you noticed them too. To his credit, they don't look this crazy in person. If they did, I'd get the tweezers and attack them while he slept:) Thanks for playing our game... especially since I WON:):)
ps-- Mike says he's going to make some major life changes due to your comments. Just kidding! He thought they were hilarious!
What do you notice when you look at this picture {other than it's backwards}? Don't worry about being nice. Mike asked me to post it, because we have a bet centered around it.
*Mike took it himself with the computer.
My favorite nephew, Trevor Laten Rush, arrived (2.5 weeks early) on August 27th at 7:55 am. He was 7 pounds 7 oz. and 21 inches long. He's perfect!! Tracy, Travis and Trevor are doing well. Tracy also has a new blog! She hasn't updated yet, but I look forward to lots of pictures of the sweet boy!!
Our blog has a new name....
Recently I've noticed lots of blog giveaways. I've never participated, but I've decided to change that and start throwing my name in the comment section. What better way to celebrate my participation than to offer a contest/giveaway of my own? Well, that and the fact that I need something, and I'm not above bribery.
I want to name my blog. I'm not looking for anything crazy creative {although I will gladly accept it.} I was trying to think of something with "Reed" in it. Mike suggested "Reed Ramblings," but I don't love it. I know I ramble, but to throw it in the title may defer my three readers.
These are some Trent's favorite things. I'm sure I'll leave something out, but it will be fun to look back and see what he liked at this point in life.
1. His thumb. This boy loves to suck his thumb. I'm sure this will be a problem eventually, but right now I enjoy his ability to self-soothe and put himself to sleep.
2. The jumperoo. We don't have an exerciser; for some reason I registered for this instead. Trent can jump for a very long time, and it's the only toy he will sit in. He gave up the swing and the bouncy seat a long time ago, and I dread the day he gives this up. It says it holds up to 25 pounds; we may put it to the test.
3. At $2.00 a pop, we have four sets of these. I keep a pair in my purse, the diaper bag, his toy basket and the car. He plays with a set of keys at my mom's house that I had as a baby; not only are they cheap, they last:)
4. Earth's Best baby food. My mom bought me the book Super Foods. It teaches you how to make your own baby food. Unfortunately, one of the first things I read was that if you didn't have time to make your own baby food, Earth's Best is the best choice. Trent likes all of it, but banana mango is one of his favorites {at 90 calories per jar, I'm not surprised!}
5. I am a Pampers fan, (Cruisers and Baby Dry) but for nighttime, Huggies are the best. I'm amazed every morning at how much these things hold. Trent must like them too, because he wears them for 12 hours at a time.
6. Mimi gave Trent this flower. He loves the music, and he loves chewing on the purple flower.
7. Here's a new favorite. My friend Margaret bought this for Trent. It's a Raz-Berry teether, and he enjoys chewing on it. {He still doesn't have a tooth yet!}
We went to Opp on Friday to meet sweet Caroline. Jeffrey (Mike's twin brother) and his wife, Jessica, now have two adorable little girls. Trent didn't really notice Caroline, but he loved Hannah... and pulling her pretty blonde hair:) I really wish we could have stayed longer, but I got to hold the sweet angel for a little while.
Yesterday we celebrated baby TREVOR. Tracy and Travis are due September 14th, and I predict Trevor Laten will make his grand entrance around September 6th. To say that I'm excited about this little boy is a huge understatement. Can you imagine how much trouble fun Trent and Trevor will have together? 
Today after church, we headed to my parents' land. Here's some of the highlights from today...
Do you think Trent looks like his Daddy G?
Daddy G tried to teach him how to drive the Ranger. 
Isn't this sweet?!
I'm starting to realize that I usually dress Trent in nice clothes and don't really notice my own outfits, ha!!
He was having way too much fun cutting grass!
Don't worry- no shots were fired!
And on a totally random note, please forgive me if you sent a baby gift and never received a thank-you note. Apparently part of my brain came out with Trent on January 11th. I was talking to a friend at Tracy's shower and realized I never wrote her a thank-you note for some fabulous lasagna she sent after we had Trent. She was super sweet about it, but I felt horrible. There's no telling how many others I forgot between January and March! Please, please please forgive me!
