6 months!

Crazy kid is growing up to fast!  We've had lots of adventures with this cute little boy lately.  This past month Gav and I had the opportunity to go to Utah!!  My parents were going out of town and my little sis needed a friend...babysitter :) We were in Utah from the 8th to the 27th.  Longest trip of my life!!  It was good though.  My parents were there the first and last couple days we were there so we were able to spend some time with them.  We also got to spend some time with friends and family. All I can say is being a single parent is HARD!  I don't know how people do it.  I was probably most excited to go back to Texas just so I had someone to help me out with Gav!  Before my mom left on her vacation she told Kaitlyn she had to give me a break from Gav at least once a day. She did pretty good about it, but you could definitely tell she wasn't use to having a baby around all the time. 

 

Gav's still a great little guy.  He hardly ever cries and when he cries its only if he is really hungry or tired or somethin that's a quick fix.  We have discovered that Jake can sure get him cryin.  Gav LOVES Jake but when Gav is talkin to Jake and Jake starts talkin back in his baby voice there is a certain way Jake does it that gets Gav's lip to quiver and he loses it!  It is so funny but its so sad to see how sad Gav gets cuz he's never like that!  I wish I had a pic of it.  It is so cute!

 

Gav's new love is his jumper.  He can play in that thing for hours!!  It was perfect timing with our move and everything.  We would put him in that while we cleaned up and finished packing/ unpack and he was fine forever!  It was great! 

 

So our move went well :)  for those of you that didn't know we moved, we are now in Austin Texas.  We didn't tell many people cause it happened so fast and I was basically out of town the whole time we were packin up and gettin ready to go.  We just unpacked our last box yesterday and we are almost done putting everything away, thank goodness.  Its been a little rough with Gav just cause he would want to play and we didn't have anywhere to put him down and let him play around for a while. We love the area we are in and we've been to our new ward already and there are tons of people our age and lots of kids so we're really excited.

Gav's weighed in at 17.5 pounds the past month er so but I think our scale doesn't work with him cause he feels a lot heavier then that!  We've started leavin the carseat in the car and taking him out and carry him everywhere cause its so much lighter that way.  This is kind of funny but Gavo has gradated to his own room!  Thats right.  He's been sleeping in mom and dads room till now.  He's been in his own room now for about 2 weeks now.  I'm not going to lie, I had a hard time putting him in his own room.  I may have shed a tear or two... Gav has also learned how to roll over!! YAY FOR GAV!!!  While we were in Utah I didn't let Gav be on the floor much cuz I told Jake I wouldn't let him learn anything while we were gone.  Success! We were back for only a couple days and Gav rolled over for us!  He's also scooting around, but he only goes backwards right now.  Its funny when I put him on the floor and he scoots against something and can't go anywhere and he has no idea why.  Its funny.  He's lookin like he's going to learn how to crawl soon so maybe we'll have good news next month!
