Time is going way to fast! I can not believe my little baby is already two months old!! But we are so happy to have every min with him, even when he does cry :)
We've had a busy month this month with Christmas and all. We got out of the house a lot with all the shopping we did. We had a fun night at the Fox's house having a white elephant gift party. Its always fun to see what everyones version's of white elephant gifts are. Our gifts are obviously the naughty embarrassing kind, but its funny when the nice normal gifters get those gifts. We had lots of fun spending time with friends and Gav's makin lots of little friends too! We also had Tyson, Julie, Abby and Luke over a couple weekends. Julie and I attempted to make salt dough ornaments one day and I'd say I need more practice... Julie's turned out though! I didn't care, one was Gav's foot and the other his hand and they are cute so we're keeping them!!! We had a couple other nights we hung out with some friends. Gav's first church day was on Christmas Sunday and he got to wear his cute tux outfit with his studly Sunday shoes. I know I have a little boy, so is it wrong I like to play dress up with him? I'm fine with it if it is, and Jake's going to have to deal with it :) On Christmas Eve our very good friends the Lees had us and the Foxes over for dinner and games. The Lees are moving in a couple weeks and Jake and I are real sad, so it was nice to be able to spend the holidays with them before they go. It also means Gav's girlfriend Ever is moving away and he's been all torn up about it, but we're helping him through it. We'll visit 'em :) On Christmas Day I do believe I was the most excited. I don't know how Jake felt about that. We got a little video of presents and Santa ate the cookies and drank the milk and holy cow Gav was spoiled with presents. Who knew a two month old could clean up like that! Jake and I would take turns opening Gavin's presents and it seemed like they just kept coming. This was our first Christmas as our little family and it was really nice to spend time together as a family. We missed our family back in Utah though. We didn't do much after we opened presents. We had our breakfast scones and just hung out for the rest of the day. IT SNOWED!! Yeah, in Texas. Crazy. That afternoon we went over to the Au's house for dinner and a couple other families from the ward who stayed for Christmas were there as well. That was about it, a very relaxed Christmas. We didn't do much for New Years either. Jake had moved our TV from our room into the living room next to the other TV and we had football playing on one and switched off playing Modern Warfare on the other. That's our version of partying. And of course we had lots of food! Once midnight struck we went straight to bed, and Gav slept till 10! Well, getting up 2 other times to feed, but that's awesome!! There ya have it, our month in a nutshell. Oh my gosh I almost forgot!!!!! We took Gav to go see Santa at the mall! It was the cutest thing! And I know what your thinking... Why would you take a 6 week old to see Santa? You take a look at the pictures and that's why! Couldn't believe how cute he looked with Santa in his little first Christmas outfit. Love it!
Little Gav is so much fun to play with now! He is so smiley and loves to talk. First thing we do in the morning is stare at each other and just jabber for 45 min to an hour every day. I love it!! And its the best feeling when you can look over at him and he gives you a big gummy grin. He makes us so happy. Some of his new favorite things: He loves to be naked! Its the funniest thing. If he ever starts getting fussy we can usually get him naked and he starts smiling. He starts smiling when we start getting him naked, he doesn't even have to be naked!! Crazy kid. He loves looking around. He can not hold still for to long before he wants to be turned to look at the other side of the room. He especially likes lights and he loves the TV. When we had the Christmas tree up we would turn the lights on and he would stare at that thing all day. He's also starting to lift his head up while laying down or in his car seat. He can't get enough of all the new sights. Like I said, he loves talking. I have so many video's of him going on and on, it's so cute! He loves his hands. He sucks on his hands all the time and he is so slobbery! When he's not sucking on his hands he's learned how to blow bubbles. So funny and so yucky. I'm constantly wiping that kids face. He was being fussy one day so Jake started to play with his legs. We found out that he loves to run with his legs. Every time you grab his legs he lets them loose so you can play with them. Basically he's a happy kid and likes to play. He sleeps really well at night only getting up once or twice a night.
His two month appointment is tomorrow. We are both excited and nervous to go. We like to see how big he has gotten, but he has to get his shots. I am so scared so I am making Jake come home from work to go with me. I hope I don't cry too much!
So...I've been trying to upload photo's and my laptop is not allowing... I'll have to try again later cuz we're headed to Utah!!! But I will get them on as soon as I can. Oh and baby Gav weighed in at a wopping 14.7 pounds!!
