Mom of the Year #2

Been out of wipies in the diaper bag for.. oh about a month now.. so anytime we have a "situation" and were out and about.. we have to Mc Gyver the madness.

Best Buds

Every parent has expectations or wishes for their children. I want my boys to have a special bond. To be best friends. To have eachothers backs. To teach other.

It is so cool to see them together. To hear Gavin waking up and Landon climbing into his crib. The laughter that fills that bedroom. Gavin looking at Landon, excited to be "rescued." Landon laying there by his side, so happy he has a buddy to play with now.

They are so cute. They adore eachother. They annoy eachother. They love eachother. They're brothers.

They each can teach eachother about style. Landon has some CRAZY style. It is original. It is NATURAL. All-Natural.
Gavin can try to teach Landon how to tame that style and add some cool factor.

But most of all they can just LOVE eachother. I pray that this bond continues and grows and that they will be eachothers Best Friend!

Mom of the Year # 1

Im sitting on the couch eating a burrito ignoring the cries of my little one.. whose bedtime is near.. when it hits me... he hasn't had his dinner yet. :(

Six Months Cuter

Gavin gets cuter and cuter every day. That is a lot of cuteness packed into 6 months. He is such a happy little guy. LITTLE GUY. He is so tiny. His Grandpa Mike has given him the nickname "Peanut" which his brother thinks is hilarious. He points to himself and says Bubba, then points to Gavin and says Peanut in his cute chipmunky voice.

But our little peanut is 6 months now. It went by so fast. Kinda makes me sad, but now he is able to get around and interact with Landon, which makes things fun and makes my heart happy.

He has the most adorable smile.
Gavin's classic look.

He is such a big boy!

Playtime with the bro.

So at 6 months..

Gavin weighs 13 lbs 10 oz. (1 percentile)

He is 26 inches long (35th percentile)

He is a Momma's boy.

Still loves TV.

Can get around all over the place doing an army crawl/caterpillar crawl

Gets up on hands and knees and does the rock

Doesn't like when brother gets in his face or is LOUD

Eating, eating, eating

Loves veggies, is not a fan of fruits

Puts EVERYTHING in his mouth

Is a little explorer

Loves swings

Doesn't believe in sleep regularity

IS TEETHING.. YUCK!

We go back to the Dr. in a month to do a weight check. Gavin is slowly gaining, which is good, but his percentiles are dropping each month. There are many possibilities for this.. we are hoping it is nothing serious and that he is able to put on some weight these next 30 days. Keep Gavin in your prayers!

YEP! Quote of the Week

Ok So its a day late. Not for lack of material thats for sure. But because it was Easter and I was busy Easter-egging it up!

So Landon... poor Landon... well lets just say he has a condition. It's called.. hmmm.. i dont know how to put this mildly. So i guess I will just put it out there. He has "continual Boner-itis". Did I just say that out loud? Its a common condition for the male population.. or so I'm told. Well he always tells me that his pee-pee hurts and asks what it is. So we call it a "BO-BO." So now I hear all day long... MOMMY I HAVE A BO-BO. Or ouch mommy my BO-BO hurts... So here is where my wonderfully weird qoute of the week comes in.

Landon: "Mommy, I have a BO-BO."

Mommy: "Oh no, Are you Okay."

Landon: "Ouch."

Mommy: "Are you okay?"

Landon: "Yeah... Kiss it Mommy."

Mommy: "ummmmm no."

Gotta love 2 year olds! Especially Mine :)

Bucket List

So i am sitting here thinking.. have you seen that movie The Bucket List??

I havent't.

But thats not important.

I get the gist of the movie.

Gist.

Did i spell that right?

Anyway, like I said, i started thinking to myself.. while I look over at Matt who is asleep right next to me on the couch..

hold on I'll take a pic for proof..

TOLD YA!

But to continue I said, "self, what is your bucket list." Yes, it went exactly like that.

Well to answer my own question.. which took much contemplation.. like at least 2-3 minutes... I came up with some..

here are a few that made the cut.

Travel to Europe.. with Matt.. who will hopefully be much rested and not asleep.

Go rockclimbing. With Matt again, so I can see his strength.. he is really strong, with really nice arms ;)

See a baby being born.. preferably of someone that I am really close to and wants to share that special moment with me,

but I can't be picky.

I would even take being trapped in an elevator while a random lady is giving birth.

Hopefully a doctor will be trapped with us too.

(Matt doesn't have to be here for this one. He's seen it twice).

So those are just a few.

I still have time..

i Hope.

Of course on the list is to see all the firsts of my children and see them grow old, marry, grandkids and all that, but I assume everyone knows thats a given.

Soooo whats on your bucket list??

Quote of the century.. or just this week :)

Ok so theres that saying.. Kids say the darndest things.. well I need to start writing some of Landon's down. So I am starting the quote of the week. This week there is a 2fer1 special.

First, my favorite...

Were driving in the car when Landon says...

"Mommy, I love you too much."

I don't think its too much Bubba. Its the perfect amount! I love you sooo much!

So another favorite right now, is when its time for bed, nap or time out he tells me

"In a minute Mom." or "No yet."

Sorry son, but I don't mean in a minute I mean NOW!
