These days

Where to start? Oh these boys really do keep me busy! Between Gavin's wild on the go personality, and Austin's new inability to sleep (aka standing in bed), I'm exhausted!

Gavin is so so funny these days. His little personality is just so funny, and he is learning how to "stretch the truth" about things. Yes, that's my nice way of saying lying, but can kids lie at this age??? UM YES! Gavin will tell me "Please go pick up baby and feed him, he is fussy" when in fact baby is not fussy at all, but playing with Gavins toys. Or he will tell me that baby needs a nap because baby is "so tired" when in reality, Gavin just wants alone time with momma! Oh Gavie. He is also so dramatic. He tells me often that "Davin is SO tired from all that hard work sleeping" Seriosuly kid? I would KILL to take a nap! He is also so funny these days. He will say something funny, and we will laugh and then he grins ear to ear bc he knows he is funny...and then he will say it over and over. He calls his dad "Derwick" all the time, its so funny. The other morning, "Hey Derwick, here is your smoothie, don't forget to take it to work, OK?" Last night while at Ma's house we asked him if he wanted to spend the night there...he responded, "Yes, Davin wants to sleep here because Davin LIVES here!" Of course he got a ton of laughs for that too. I can't think of any more bc I am so tired. Oh, yes and he spends the night at Ma and Papa's house at least once a week....LOVES to do this, and we love it too!

Oh Austin. Getting teeth is hard, so he has been not sleeping well. Oh, and he can now stand in his crib....but can't get down! So he stands, and then sobs and sobs because he is "stuck." We decided that he has to learn to get down on his own, as I am not going in there every time he gets up! So last night the poor guy was standing in his crib for 45min crying! So so sad, but eventually he got down, and went back to sleep. Oh my. Oh, and he is also very aware of me leaving the room now. He will whine and cry when he sees me leave...and then smile when I come back. Stanger anxiety? Check! So far two times a different stranger has come up to tell him how cute he is, and he gets SHY and cuddles into my neck...and then it takes some warming up to get a smile! Really? At 6 months? Man, I thought I had longer on that one! He is a WILD man, and crawling all over the house. He will hear where we are and come tearing down the hall to find us. Time to baby proof. We never really did with Gavin, we just made sure that if there was stuff he could not have, we put up high. As for Austin, he seems like he will be different...and get into more! He is eating 100% table food, and hates us trying to spoon anything in his mouth. Has has almost everything under the sun, including peanut butter. So much for rules with food! I am proud that he has not had honey yet, but I am sure that will be soon, esp since G eats honey a lot.
