8 months old!

We've got a crawler on our hands!!  Can not believe how fast this kid is growing up.  This past month Gav has learned how to get around the house by scooting, army crawl type thing, sit up by himself and crawl! And to top it off he's got 2 teeth comin in!!!  Its been a big month for Gavo. 




So... we haven't done much here in Austin.  Gav has had a big month, but other then that we've been going through the motions.  It is crazy to see Gav one day scooting around slowly and then the next day realize he's right behind you all day. I was in the bathroom getting ready one day and Gav was in the living room playing with toys. After a while he started getting fussy, wondering where mom went.  I started to call out his name every time I would hear him squeal or fuss and in a couple min he was at the doorway to the bathroom.  Since that day its been hard to keep him out of there.  That has become his favorite room! Gross!!  He loves to play with the scale for some reason.  He also likes to help mom and dad in the Kitchen.  When we're in there making dinner, or doing dishes, whatever it is he wants to be there!  He loves exploring the kitchen.  Opening the fridge door can be dangerous when he's in there because he shoots straight for it!  It becomes an instant wrestling match. The first time I noticed him sitting up by himself it took me by surprise!  I didn't realize he could do it himself and I kept thinking did I set him down sitting, or did he do that himself?  It took me a couple times noticing him doing it before I could really believe it.  Gav's starting to stand up on his own too!!  Learning so much so fast!  He has to hold onto something still but he's not using Jake and I to stand up anymore.  He climbs up on anything he can get his hands on.  The cutest thing was when I went in to get him from a nap the other day and he's just standing there in his crib with a giant grin on his face.  He was so proud of himself!

The 4th of July was pretty fun!  We went to the Wells Branch parade and it was nice.  Not my favorite but it was fun to take Gav out to a parade and watch the floats with him!  We ran into some people in our ward that invited us to sit with them.  I thought that was really nice of them.  We were invited by our friend Maria to a BBQ!  She lives right by the park that had the fireworks that night so we were having a big party.  They had people from all around their neighborhood and lots of great food!  It was a lot of fun.  They had bought a ton of fireworks too!  It was fun  to see Gavs face light up every time he saw a firework.  He didn't like the loud booms so much though...  He got scared and cried a couple times but he's a big boy.  Gav got to tire to stay up to go to the park so we ended up going home before the fireworks.  The awesome thing was that our apartment isn't that far from the park and from our window we could see the fireworks perfectly!  When we got home we put Gav down for bed and when the fireworks started up we got him up and watched the fireworks from our bed.  It was awesome!! 

Well, I know that's not much but that's our month! Till next time...
