Trevor is Two!!!

I can't believe my baby is two already! He is definitely the baby of the family (though that will soon change) and usually gets his way from all his siblings (mom and dad try not to give in as much, but it can be hard!). He is a sweet, good-tempered little fellow most of the time, although its obvious that he is a two-year-old by his sudden temper tantrums and power struggles that happen throughout the day. Sometimes Trevor will just sit and giggle about the littlest things then later he will be melting all over the floor crying about who knows what. He loves to vacuum, especially since he opened his birthday present of a little vacuum that looks very similar to mine. He also loves to color if his siblings are doing so. Mostly he just loves to do what anyone else is doing- imitating as well as he can. Trevor has started talking more- at least making an effort to. He imitates many words and has a few of his favorites that he repeats over and over. I think "Beep!" is his favorite word. He loves to inform us whenever he hears anything beep by yelling "Beep!" He also loves the word "Go!" and yells it in the car whenever we are stopped. The older kids love to hold races in the house and let Trevor be the one to tell them when to "GO!"
Trevor is still dealing with eczema (though its not nearly as bad as it used to be) and still has his milk and peanut allergies, but the milk is slowly getting better. He loves to drink goat milk and goat cheese is his favorite snack! He gets into the fridge, gets it out, and brings it to mewanting me to cut a few slices for him several times a day. We've also found that he seems to be able to eat food with cow's milk in it sometimes, but other foods he's not okay with. Hopefully he outgrows it in the next few years like most kids do.
Trevor's nickname is "puppy" or "pup" (this came from back when he used to drag himself around on the ground like a seal pup) and is perfect for him since he loves puppies. He is on high alert whenever he hears a dog bark or sees a dog walk by and makes sure I'm aware of it by saying "mom, mom, mom! gog!" (his word for dog). He also has lots of stuffed animal puppies that he loves to drag around the house with him and he has to have all of them in his crib when he sleeps.
Trevor has recently started to be less attached to mom, which is a good thing since a new baby is coming soon. I think I'm still his favorite person, but he sure loves his daddy too and is happy to go with a few other friends that he is accustomed to being around. I have a friend who watches my kids for me while I'm at prenatal appointments and he is happy to go with anyone in her family. He also runs all over the chapel at church without me (although he's not nearly as social as his big sister) and no longer has any problem separating from me to go to nursery at church.
This boy is adorable! Everyone loves him so much and we are sure glad to have him!

Here he is busy with his vacuum!

 Trevor also got some books and puzzles for his birthday.

 We made Trevor a Rice Krispie cake since there is no milk involved and butter doesn't seem to bother him (plus it only took mom about 20 minutes to make!) He was a little intimidated by the candles and wasn't quite sure how to blow them out, but Asher took care of that for him.
