Trevor turned 2 years old October 19th.  Gosh, it's so amazing to see how far he has come!  Our family has been blessed over and over again.  We are so thankful for our little Trevor.  Thankful that he is alive and well, and tearing up things like a normal 2 year old!  His party was awesome! It was "barnyard" themed, and turned out great!  He was showered with so many gifts that some of them are still in the boxes until I can clean out the toy box to make room for the new ones. He was given a Little Tykes bar-b-que grill, lawnmower, electric Mater 4 wheeler, his 1st fishing pole, a cowprint table and chair to go in his barn play house his Daddy built him, trucks, cars, clothes, t-ball set, barnyard play set, his first Mickey Mouse, and many, many other wonderful things!  I bought him the cutest little cap that says "Stud Muffin" on it and when he opened it, he quickly sailed it across the patio with much disgust.  I've tried endlessly to put it on him, and he rips it off his head and throws it to the ground every time!  He does NOT like the hat Mommy picked out!  It's funny though, because he loves wearing caps and wears them all the time....just not that one haha!

Trevor is scheduled for a sleep study on October 25th in Houston.  He is still having a few episodes of apnea, so maybe the study will give us some answers. He also has an appointment with Ages & Stages (developmental evaluation) at Texas Children's in Houston on October 26th.  Dennis and I are talking about possibly staying the night in Houston on the 25th after the sleep study.  The test will take several hours and we have to be back in Houston the next day by 8:30am, so it would be much easier on us to just stay.  It makes it a little tricky though, because the girls have school.  Not sure what the definite plan is yet, but either way, we will make sure that Trevor is there for both appointments.  

On a brighter note, Trevor has started eating again! He is still not eating as much as he normally does, but he IS at least attempting all three meals.  :)  I noticed tonight that he looks a little peaked.  Not sure, but I think he may be coming down with something. 

Apnea?

Trevor had a few episodes of apnea last night.  Each one lasted only seconds, but was definitely enough to scared me to death.  Tomorrow can not get here soon enough!  I'm really getting worried about my little man.  
 
For the last few weeks, I have noticed that Trevor has began to refuse certain foods. He acted like he was having difficulty swallowing them.  He would chew the food, and then spit it out, most of the time gagging as well.  If any food remained on his tongue, he would stick it out and cry until I wiped it off.  This is definitely not typical for Trevor.  He is a very good eater, and always has been.  The amount of foods he is refusing is increasing.  In the last 3 days, Trevor has not eaten much at all.  We have an appointment with a specialist in Houston on Friday.  I am praying that this is nothing serious.  For the time being, I am monitoring his weight to make sure that he does not lose too much.  He is also drinking PediaSure to help with calorie intake until he begins to eat normally again.  Trevor weighed 25lbs 2 oz about 2 weeks ago.  He weighs 24lbs now.

Dennis built Trevor a "barn" playhouse!  It is so cute and Trevor loves it!  Overall, Trevor is doing exceptionally well.  He still has some speech delays, but nothing that is of concern.  He has an appointment at Texas Children's on the 26th for the Ages & Stages Clinic.  It's for his 2 year old developmental evaluation.  I am a little nervous, but at the same time, I know that he is doing wonderfully.  It's just a little unnerving to think that his "2 years" have come and gone.  Age 2 is when doctor's say that preemies should be "caught up."  I guess we will see what the developmental eval shows, and go from there.  :)
