Five Months Old!!!

Time flies...

Can not believe my little boy is already 5 months old.  He is growing up so fast.  Earlier today I was going through pictures and video's I've taken of him and he has changed so much in the short time he's been with us. 

Gav has learned a new trick this past month.  He discovered his toes and learned how to shove them in his mouth!  It is so funny how he folds himself in half and sucks on them as if it were his thumb.  He loves sucking his thumb too so I guess it shouldn't surprise me.  He's still very talkative, but I think it's only when he wants somthing....  While we were in Utah he didnt say much at all.  It was funny cause in Texas he talks all day.  He's turning into a real squeller.  Not a cry squeller but a I'm talking and trying out new sounds kind of squeller.  Its real girly and Jake's always tellin him not to do it.  I think its cute!  I also allow him to suck on his thumb cause its so cute and Jake always pulls his thumb out.  I guess he's going to have to get use to his parents always telling him two different things..  We're thinkin Gav is starting to teeth or something cause he always has to have something  in his mouth.  If its not toes or fingers he's got toys and his new favorite, blankets.  If he gets his hands on a blanket its soaked in minutes.  We constantly have to have a bib on him so he doesn't soak through his clothes cause of all the drool.  He's like a faucet!!

Gav's mobile!  Well, kind of...  Today we put Gav down on his blanket to do some tummy time and play with his toys and in minuets he was turned the other way!  It was so cool to see how he was able to turn in little scoots around the blanket! First time he's ever moved in any way!  He's getting so big!

We've had a busy month!  We got to got to Utah!  My younger brother Tanner got his mission call back in October and his time finally came to go to the MTC, and boy was he ready.  In the time Tanner was waiting to leave he became a pro at the rubik's cube, could sing any TV commercial for ya and I'm pretty sure he facebook stalked a bit as well as googled insignificant information about the dumbest things.  Like did you know if you plugged your nose and took a bite out of an onion and a bite out of an apple it would taste the exact same.  And an Onion doesn't have any flavor to it, just a strong oder.  Yeah, thats Tanner for ya.  While we were in Utah we got to take family pictures spent tons of time will both mine and Jakes family and Gavo also got his baby blessing!!  Only 4 1/2 months old!  Sadly as happy as that kid is all the time, he cried through the entire blessing!  I knew it was going to happen cause he doesn't like to lay down so I was going to give him his binki and forgot.  In the middle of the blessing I could tell Jake had shoved his finger in Gav's mouth to try and let him suck on it.  He wouldn't take it though.  The second the blessing was over he stopped crying, crazy kid. After church we went to my parents house and had a big party for Tanner.  There were a ton of people there.  I still can't believe my little brother is old enough to be on a mission.  Miss him a ton already.  We had to come back to Texas on Tuesday so the rest of the time in Utah we spent with Tanner. 

For the past month Jakes office has been going back and forth on whether they should send him off to Austin or not.  While they were deciding, we had already started looking at houses and had already put an offer on a house.  Durring our "Option" period for the house, Jake told his boss he needed an answer that week so we could back out of the house contract if we needed to.  While we were in Utah Jake recieved a text from his boss saying we would be moving to Austin.  So, surprise!! We'll be moving to Austin the end of April.  Crazy how fast that came up on us and now it feels like there is so much to do!  So... we've been packing.  A lot!  Our house is basically all packed up, just the things we use regularly and the kitchen are left.  Gav and I are headed back to Utah to stay with Kaitlyn(my sister) while my parents go on vacation.  We're going to be there 3 1/2 weeks and 2 days after we get back from Utah we're headen to Austin.  Feels like that is coming up so fast!  This past weekend the 3 of us were able to go to Austin to find an apartment.  We saw around 25 apartments in the 3 days we were there.  I was so tired by the time we would get back to our hotel.  We found one! We love it and are so excited to move to Austin!!  And its only 10 min away from Jakes office!
