Gav is so much fun to play with. He's getting really good at grabbing things and loves to play with just about anything. His favorite toys are his soft giraffe security blanket his neato butterfly and his little Einsteins music player that lights up. But you could really give him anything and he's good with it. He's turning into a big boy so fast! He doesn't like layin down to much. He loves to sit up like a big boy or even stand(not by himself). He has a little play yard he stands in and he'll stand in it forever. He doesn't play with the toys on it though, he just likes to look... weirdo. He's getting really good at tummy time and lasts a bit longer then he ever has. He still loves to watch TV so when we do tummy time he holds his head up high enough so he can watch. He's starting to put his feet to one side like he's going to roll over but doesn't quite get it yet. Gavo is a very talkative little boy and always has something to say. Its so much fun to have conversations with him cause they can last forever. He makes the cutest facial expressions during the conversations too. He'll be talkin away then all of a sudden he's upset then gets a giant gummy grin and then he's content again. So fun!!! Its fun to see when he figures out a new sound or a new way to talk and that's all he does for a while. Just the last couple days he's figured out how to talk with his tongue. He kinda just talks and as he goes sticks his tongue out every so often and changes the sounds. Its pretty funny. When Jake comes home from work Gav lights up and gives him a big grin. One of my favorite things is when Jake holds Gav on his chest face to face and they just talk. It's like Gav is tellin him all about his day and he gets so excited. He sure loves his dad. I weighed my cute boy, the best I could with how wiggly he is, about a week ago and he was 16 lb. 6 oz. Crazy how big he is. He isn't a chubby little guy either he's tall. Oh I almost forgot! Gav's starting to grab at his toes now. He loves sticking them as high as he can and just staring at them, especially if his toesies are sockless. After he stares at them a while he starts trying to grab at them. Now we're waiting to see when he'll start shovin them in his mouth with everything else.
For Valentines Day Gav and I had some projects to do! Honestly, not a great idea on my part but it's cute! While Jake was at work Gav and I made a little card for his daddy. It says: From the bottom of my heart to the tips of my toes I love you! and it has Gavo's hand prints in the shape of a heart and his cute little toesies on it and its so cute! I had to draw a heart around the hand prints so you could tell what it was. Gav loved getting paint on his hands but the second I would stop he would clench his fists so tight I couldn't do anything with it!! By the time I'd get his hands unclenched the paint would be drying up and we had to start all over again! It took a while, but it was worth it!! I gave Jacob a cute jar I cutsied up and on top of the jar it said "I love you because..." and wrote a bunch of reasons I loved him and stuck them in the jar. I thought it was clever... Jacob brought me a bunch of flowers home the day before Valentines and they were beautiful. Love him!! On Valentines Day we gave Jacob his gifts and had dinner all together and just hung out.
The day after Valentines Gav and I went to start lookin for a house. Not so easy with a little guy taggin along but we were successful. Luckily our Realtor is super nice and patient. We looked everywhere. It was a very long day. After we had seen all the houses I was able to narrow it down to only 3. The next day Jake and I went to see the houses and had one we really liked but it was a bit over our budget so decided to keep looking. A couple days passed and after many conversations we decided to put an offer in. Counter offer after counter offer we are still not sure we are going to get the house. We are currently waiting for them to get back to us about our last offer. But we feel like we're going to get it. Crossing our fingers!
Towards the end of the month we took off for a short vacation with our good friends the Fox's. Our friends the Lee's had moved the end of January and there little girl was having her birthday in February so we couldn't miss it! The fun part was we had kept it a secret from Brittney and she had no idea we were coming! Luckily Greg is good at keeping secrets. On Friday afternoon after the boys had gotten off work we met up with the Fox's and left for Odessa. It was exciting when we arrived cause we knew Britt still had no idea! I think it was around 9-9:30 when we got there so it was getting late. Before we had left Sutton had sent Britt a text and told her she sent a package for Ever's birthday and it should come tonight so we knew she would think we were the UPS guy. When we rang the bell Britt was the one to answer. She was so surprised!! She couldn't believe we had come and she had no idea, though, we found out later Greg had left her plenty of hints that something was going to happen. But she didn't know! When we all settled in we chatted for a bit and headed to bed. The next day the boys left to go golfing while the girls set up for Ev's party. It was such a cute little girl party. Pink and Purple and butterflies everywhere. She is one lucky little girl cause my kids parties are not going to be that cute. I'm not going to lie... I think my favorite part of the day was when we left the babies with the boys and went and had a girls night and went to a movie! I don't know the last time I was able to go out with the girls. We headed home the next day but we had spent the morning just hangin out and talkin. Sure do miss the Lee's and it was a fun weekend to catch up again. This last Monday we found out the Fox's are moving too! I don't know what we're going to do with ourselves. I sure hope we get that house now...
