Walk 'n Ride
Check out my new toy that Daddy brought home from work today! It can be a car to ride on or a toy to push (once I learn to walk, of course!) I love it when Daddy pushes me around the house on it. I squeal with delight!

Trick or Treating
Halloween is already here! Granna and Opa stopped by that afternoon to see Trenton in his costume and give him a Halloween present. He loved unwrapping it (Christmas is going to be fun!) and was so excited to have his own Curious George, especially since he was going to be him for Halloween!
We met our next door neighbors and a couple other friends in the park for our trick or treating adventure. It was perfect; all the boys were about the same age. Ironically and without any planning, Rylan was a penguin, Bradley a bear, Trenton was a monkey, and Will was a zoo keeper. It was hilarious! They went together perfectly for our trot around the neighborhood.
Because we started early and only visited a few houses, we were able to enjoy a picnic dinner in the park afterward. Trenton tried some pasta for the first time and loved it! He is definitely getting into more "people" food now, but we still have to be extra cautious and feed him ourselves. When it is left in front of him, he tries to shove it all in his mouth at once or forgets that chewing is required. Eating is tough when you only have seven teeth and are so anxious to put things in your mouth!

My First Kicks!
Granna and Opa bought Trenton his first pair of shoes today! We met up at Coggins and Granna picked these out handsome Pedipeds out. Trenton was really needing them because he has a habit of taking his socks off. With the cooler weather here, shoes were the best solution to keep those feet warm. Since then, they have also become a popular toy--on and off the feet. It's common to find him with his shoe in his mouth, pinching at the velcro, or simply examining them. (Mommy thinks they are cute, too!)

Two Extremes
Trenton is getting around too well these days, and therefor, it is finally time we baby proof the house! Mommy went around plugging all outlets and Daddy assembled the baby gate for the top of the stairs. Our good friend Jonathan built a block for the bottom of the stairs. We aren't completely finished but we are making progress, and we are relieved to get some of these major hazards taken care of.
Of course the same weekend we are baby proofing the house, Trenton experienced a rough weekend physically. On Friday, he toppled over scraping his chin and biting his tongue. Although there was a good amount of blood for such minor injuries, he was not seriously injured; just scared, I think.
On Sunday morning, he bumped his head on his crib excited that I was about to get him out. Under those circumstances, it never phased him as he smiled his enormous smile. However, he had to go to church with a mark on his forehead.
However, it got way worse and Sunday afternoon we ended up in the ER. We were meeting our friends at church for "Tailgating Treats"--the church's version of trick or treating. We got Trenton out of his car seat, and almost immediately after walking to the back of the car, he started crying this weird type of cry. He never full out wailed, but frequently there was a short painful cry. We knew something was wrong. He just doesn't let out cries like that and that was when we noticed his left arm looked limp. Each time we tried to lift his arm he would whine. It was easy to tell that the arm was the culprit of the pain. Something was definitely wrong and we needed to do something fast.
We took Trenton to Kennestone Hospital, which luckily was a block away. Granna and Opa met us there not knowing what was going on. Come to find out, his elbow was dislocated. The technical term is Nursemaid's Elbow, and it is common in children under the age of five. Apparently their ligaments and joints are not fully developed, and consequently, they can dislocate easily. The doctor immediately diagnosed him and had to pop his elbow back in place. Granna held him for this and I think the nurse purposely tried to distract me, it didn't work. That was a nasty cry that I never want to hear again, but within ten seconds, it was over. It was no time at all before Trenton was using the arm again. Literally, in less than a minute, he put his hand into his mouth--should have know that was going to be his initial move! He had probably missed that so much! Then, it was reaching for Opa--the poor thing couldn't reach for people and he always likes to go to others when he sees them. Then, he was holding water bottles, high fiving--all was back to normal. It was as if nothing had ever happened. Really bizarre!
Although the doctor said not to be surprised if a dislocation happens again, we hope Trenton never has to experience it another time. It was obvious that he was in such discomfort, but amazing how he never broke out into an endless cry. He must have known deep down Mommy and Daddy were going to take care of him--what a sweet feeling! We are proud of our brave, little Trenton!

Good-bye Sunday Growth Pictures
Ok, so the days of taking weekly pictures.--which we already started slacking on a little--are now officially over. It is impossible to keep Trenton on his back for even one quick picture. (Imagine what diaper changes are like these days!) He immediately rolls to his belly and gets into the sitting position. From there it is only a matter of time before he is in the standing position. At least he had fun tossing around the weekly label!
crumble, crumble, crumble......
I can toss it up....
Watch it soar through the air....
Sometimes the best toys aren't even toys at all. :)
I'm going to drop it....like I do everything these days.....
And it is over the edge of the crib! Game over!

Toy Box
Right after Trenton was born, Mommy and Daddy traded out the coffee table for an ottoman chest knowing we were going to have to have a place to hide all Trenton's belongings downstairs in the living room. Well, now that he enjoys pulling up, one of his favorite places is the ottoman (when it's open, it is even better!) He goes crazy pulling out toys and walking around the edge. The best part is that it is cushioned all around and won't close on his fingers. Hooray for the ottoman!

Pumpkin Patch
It was the best weekend to visit the pumpkin patch! We headed up to Gainesville to Kinsey Family Farms in the morning, arriving before the farm was too crowded. Trenton had a great time being pulled in the wagon and touching all the pumpkins. So much was going on around him and he loved every moment of it! We enjoyed riding on the hayride, feeding the fish, picking out pumpkins, watching the animals, and having a picnic with Granna and Opa. We brought home a family of pumpkins with a Daddy one, Mommy one, and little baby one just like our new family. We look forward to making this a tradition!
