Teething and Making New Friends

Travis has taken a liking to Butters the cow and Red, but having started teething, he's not sure if he wants to play with them or gnaw on them. I guess he'll do a little of both.

Out and About in Dallas

While in Dallas, Travis checked out a high school baseball game with Dad and hung out with our friends Stan and Dina as well.

Easter with the Haleys

Easter with the Haleys was also fun. Everyone got some squeezes on the little man and our friend Jennifer even baked Travis a homemade bread bunny. Also, we were fortunate enough to get a great photo with 4 generations of Haley men.

Easter with the Santos Family

Easter with Imelda's family was fun. Travis was able to hang out with his abuelos y tios, which brought him (and the family) lots of smiles.

Brazos Bend State Park

We took a day trip to brazos Bend State Park. Travis was a good sport and seemed very interested at times and very asleep during others. We had a nice picnic in the shade of a Spanish moss-filled tree and hiked around the marshes which had many cool birds and alligators!

Brain Power

While most of us are watching TV or simply relaxing, little Travis has enrolled in a rigorous brain conditioning program. In order to maximize neuronal branching development and maturation, he begins at 6 am with meditation and visualization exercises, then jumps to the crib where he works on eye-hand coordination with his mobile and ribbon. After a milk break, Travis works on his balance during ball training with Dad. In the afternoon, he begins floor exercises with his mat and mobile. Finally, for a little fun and R&R, he dresses up and works on his latin dance techniques until the wee hours of the morning. After a couple hours of sleep, he does it all over again! Well, maybe it's not quite like this, but the little man is doing well.

Smiles, the Zoo, Tootsie's visit, and more smiles!

Over the past 2 weeks, Travis has been smiling much more and making all sorts of sounds, mainly "Ah-Gooooo!" Imelda and Travis took a trip to the zoo with his baby friend Cameron, Margaret, and Tootsie. Tootsie (aka Stephanie) came down to help out and love on the little guy. It was a fun time!
