Trevor Is Nine Months

Trevor is creeping ever closer to becoming a real little person. He's able to communicate, he's able to move about independently, and he has his likes and dislikes. It's almost easier for Matt and I to imagine him as a toddler than to remember what he was like during those first few weeks after he was born (although, thanks to the magic of digital photos, we can replay those days as often as we like-sometimes with a heavy sigh, when we realize how quickly the time has gone, and how quickly it will continue to fly by).

Because Trevor has accomplished so much, and has so much more to tackle, it's easy for Matt and I to fall into the trap of comparing Trevor to our friends' similarly-aged children. And what we need to realize more than anything else during this second half of the first year is that every child is different. They each have their special talents; they each have their own way of doing things. Comparing them to one another isn't fair.
