How cute can you get!

Well its been too long sense i have done a new post. So here it is! Ive captured some pretty cute pics of Gavin the last week so i had to share them,. We have Finally had success! YAY! Gavin is crawling!! On all fours! Who thought it was ever going to happen? lol well I did. I was sitting in my bedroom getting ready and i looked in the mirror to check on him and HE WAS CRAWLING! .lol just like that. I guess he just needed to do it on his own time. :) So as u can imagine I have been baby proofing my house all week.. plug ins, moving candles. lol Everything! He is sitting really good on his own now without falling back. We have been working on that so he doesn't hit his head on the hardwood again! Poor thing. Well here is some pictures! Movie night, Bath time, Feeding time! LOVE IT ALL! :)

Gotta Love Him!

So how are babies at 7 1/2 months so smart! Gavin is just getting smarter every day!, I cant believe it. It is so funny to watch. There were a few things that happened this week where i just had to get out the camera! So he has been scooting around for quite a while now. He is army crawling, so he can get to anything if he really really wants it. I just didn't know how much he actually new! So me and Brandon were siting on the couch, and we are watching Gavin, next thing we know he is crawling across the whole living room to his basket full of toys! He totally new what he was doing. He dumped them all out onto the floor. lol It was so cute. Then this morning I had him on the floor and I was in my bedroom cleaning up as usual.lol.. and earlier i had yogurt for breakfast and left in on the coffee table (i always let him try a little bit cuz i know he loves it!) So i come back into the living room and he had reached up onto the coffee table and grabbed the yogurt which was half full before and gone now! lol so funny! He was smearing it into the carpet and had it all over his mouth. What a little turkey! haha So I'm pretty sure he knew what he wanted and went for it. I couldn't even get upset over the carpet smeared with yogurt.. it was just too darn cute! He is growing so fast and is getting so smart, i love EVERY stage so far. Hopefully he doesn't have a stomoch ache later!

fun photos!

So It has been forever sense i have put new pics of us all on here!, so i finally did it. I got Gavin the cutest outfit for church, so we decided to take a bunch of pictures all dressed up!, And my best friend Capri colored my hair! She did such a good job, so i had to put pics of that up too! Brandon and Gavin are hilarious in these, daddy always knows how to make him laugh! :)

Amazing people

So i was watching the show "extreme home makeover." I don't know how many of u watch it, but i love that show. Every time i watch it i cry and cry! I just cant help it. This show influenced me more than any other though. There was a mom and she was a photographer. She had 3 children but her third baby was preemie and they didn't know if her little guy was going to make it. (I think we all have heard stories about families losing there children after birth.) Thank goodness her baby pulled through and made it. There house then was flooded and destroyed everything.. her photo studio, family pictures, everything in there home was toxicated. She then decided to start taking photos for families who had preemie babies, whether they made it or not, and she did it for free! They showed different families thanking her for documenting photos of there little ones who did not make it, and how thankful they were to her for giving them the memories of every little thing about there baby. There hands, feet, nose, how petite they were, there eyes. All the babies were so sweet. I think this really hit home for me, now that i am a mother and i know how devastated i would be to lose Gavin. I just couldn't stop thinking about that women,, how much she had been through and lost and still was able to give to others. This really made me want to be a better person. I have been so blessed in my life with and amazing husband and a beautiful healthy baby boy. There are so many people out there who put others first and just keep on giving. I want to be one of those people. I hope this story makes u want to also.

my little cowboy!! lol. what a cutie. We went to salem and hung out with our good friends.. Randy and Capri.. and cousin wyatt! So wyatt let gavin ride his little rocking horse. Gavin loved it! lol.. eventually wyatt tried to climb up on there too but coudnt fit very well. It was so cute. He growing so FAST. he started to army crawl on friday! yay! He is getting so close. I just thaught this pic was so cute so i put it on here. It was so fun to watch him on it!

Little baby Gavin

So my little guy is getting so big!! he is moving everywhere!! This is him in the computer room trying to find me and Brandon! lol it was so cute he could here us but couldn't see us.. we were trying to get him to crawl. he is getting really close. I love it so much when babies wake up from a nap.. i think it is the cutest thing ever! The way there eyes are puffy and there hair is everywhere. It make me fall in love with him all over again when i get him from his crib in the morning. So i thought i would put a few pics of him after his nap! sooo cute! lol i love it. his hair is everywhere. I feel like life just cant get any better when i look at these. How did i get so lucky?? he is starting to play so many games with me. I cant believe how smart he is at 7 months. It just amazes me! oh how i love him.

The Pink Knot!!!

Finally! yay! so my business is up and ready to go! www.thepinkknot.blogspot.com is the website. Ive bee so excited to get this going! thanks for everyones patients! i know it took longer than i thought. Give me some feedback and let me know what u think alright! I will be adding pacifier attachments and diaper bags very soon! I had to change my buisness name, but i was totally fine with it because i like this one so much better. Its been alot of work but im up for it, and it gives me something more to do at home, sense im here alllll day! :) I am really enjoying it and brandon has been so amazing helping me with everything! I had to metion him cuz he has given me alot of opinions and has kept me motivated!! i love him. Well go take a look! :)

mommy tears!

so i thought i would blog about something i know is SOO true!! and it was even confirmed by the other moms ive talked to! so ever sense i have had my little baby boy, i cry over everything. Me and my sister were laughing cuz we cry over the same tv comercial! haha so crazy.. every show and every movie i watch with the slitest emotional part in it, i sob! lol then i just laugh at myself cuz i know its so dumb im crying,, so it has to be something that happens to a women after they have a baby. its just has to be!! I think my husband thinks im depressed lol.. (no he doesnt really) Sometimes ill be rocking Gavin to sleep, and i will just start crying happy tears, i just love him so much. I remember watching my mom growing up and she would cry over every present, every card, every movie.. and now as a MOM i know why. :) I think having a baby gives a mom something she loves more than anything and it gives her happy tears ALL THE TIME! thats my theory! I wouldnt change it for anything.

where o where has all the time gone?

I was trying to think how it has gone so quike! what have i been doing while time has been flying by? nothing... lol. well i must have been doing something right.

just gets better!

My little munchkin is doing so many new things the past two weeks. He has definatly got his loud screeming personality from his dad lol cuz thats how brandon was when he was a kid.. or so i hear! So last week i put gavin down on the blanket and went into the bedroom.. when i came back he had rolled over!! yay success! lol except he had rolled onto the hard wood and threw up everywhere.. (yes i am used to that so i didnt freak out at all :)) He has found this laugh he does, where he inhales as much as he can (its sounds halarious!) then lets out a laugh . and then he will do it over and over again.. its the cutest thing ive ever seen. ofcourse every mom thinks there baby is the cutest! but how could they not :) the whole time i was pregnant i looked forward to gavin being a mommys boy... i dont think i got so lucky with that. although yes he loves me for sure.. his dad is way funner to look at. i dont know what it is but gavin will not look at me when brandon is home... its all eyes on daddy! lol but brandon loves it. and even though im jelous i think its the cutest thing. Gavin started scooting.. yay! he has kind of a hard time though cuz when he does it his face goes right into the ground. u can tell he is trying so hard though!. poor little guy. but he will get there. its so fun to watch him get smarter. oh ya!.. he is eating big boy food now.. yummy rice cereal lol once a day. his face is priceless cuz the first bite he does not like at all! but its growing on him. he also is loving his feet.. he always has his feet in his hands and is trying to eat them hahah yummmmm. lol capri came over the other day and took pics of him for me and we could not get him to let go of those cute little feet. lol everything he can get ahold of goes right to the mouth. he loves playing with cousin wyatt.. and cant wait untill he can crawl like he does. he is also sitting now! for about 20 sec at first then he will lose balance but its getting better! yesterday he sat for a few minutes.. i couldnt believe it! he really likes it now. well he is sleeping better now.. finally! i thaught i was never going to sleep again. but his schedule is back to normal. me and brandon are so glad. well thats all for now. :) xoxo

Go to sleep... :)

hey everyone! so i know a few ppl now who have had trouble with there baby sleeping through the night. Encluding myself. So i decided to do some searching! finally. i should have done this before. so at i village i came accross so nift tips! so here are 8 tips for u! they r. #1 keep a routine at night so he knows its time for sleep #2 let him nap in a well lit area in the day, and a dark area at night so he know the difference #3 avoid diaper changes at night so he know.. nights r for sleeping! #4 try not to give your baby a pacifier at night so there is NO waking up when it falls out of his mouth! :) #5 Relax him before bed, swadle him or rock him, even if give him a bath if that is what sooths him. (keep the evenings calm and tv down so he doesnt get excited and awake) #6 if your baby sleeps in... wake him up earlier and put him to bed earlier so he sleeps when u sleep. #7 feed in the dark during the day to keep him from distractions.. this way he will be better fed and have a better chance at sleeping through the night. .... sound good?? i think so.. im going to try everyone of them!! yay i hope it works!! let me know if it does for u! :)

wow i cannot believe the new year is here!!! my birthday was jan 4th and brandon made it so amazing! i was very impressed! :) we went to dinner at the melting pot.. its a fondue restaraunt and then he suprised me with a bunch of ppl for a party back at that house!. aw. well im big 21 now.. and im so blessed, im so excited for this new yr, there is so much im excited for! especially to watch our little gavin grow!... he is eating baby cereal now and he is not sure if he likes it yet, but we r working on it lol..he is definalty scooting now and trying so hard to move around, he drank out of a straw a few weeks ago and his face was priceless! i loved it,. me and brandon laughed so hard. well thats what has been going on!.. xoxo
