Day 9: A picture of someone that has gotten you through the most

My mom is probably going to kill me for posting a picture of her. Or call me a bitch. Cause that's what we do :) Either way. But of course she's the one that has gotten me through the most!

Day 8: Photo Challenge

A picture that makes you laugh....

This picture was taken with my phone when Gavin was about 5 weeks old. It was the first time I captured a smile on camera. The spit up coming out of his mouth gives this picture a little extra something, don't you think? I laugh every time I see this. Sorry, it's totally gross, I know.

Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory

This was our first real vacation together by ourselves. And we had a blast! We visited all of the Disney parks, Sea World and Universal Studios. We did what we wanted and when we wanted to do it. We laughed, drank free beer at the hotel, rode roller coasters, ate good food and just enjoyed each other's company. The best vacation ever!

Day 4: A photo of your night

My nights always feel so rushed. I get home from work and greet Gavin with some play time while Lonnie gets dinner going. I feed Gavin his dinner and then Lonnie and I eat. Lonnie then washes bottles while I give Gavin a bath. This is when I slow down. Gavin is starting to love bath time. He loves to splash the water and play with his little rubber ducky. I scrub him down and then let him play for a little bit. Then, diaper, pajamas, and bed!

7 months old...a couple days late

I cannot believe this little man is 7 months old already! Well, 7 months and a few days. Here's what he's up to....

• We found a funny word. Every time you say "squeak" you get a belly laugh from him. I don't know why it is so funny to him, but Lonnie and I will say it over and over again just to get a laugh from him.


• He loves peak-a-boo. Again, great big belly laughs when we play this game.


• He scoots on his back around the living room. But he will not play on his belly. I continue to torture him on a daily basis but he usually just gives me a pitiful little cry until I pick him up.


• He thinks our dog is hilarious. Jack will start running around the house and turns his head back and forth to follow him.


• He blows raspberries when you're feeding him. I'm not quite sure who actually needs to wear a bib...me or him.


• He's wearing 6 month clothes and some 6-9 month clothes. He just started wearing Size 3 diapers. They look huge on him but Size 2 diapers were too small.


• He grabs everything and puts it in his mouth. Except teething rings. Those don't go in his mouth. Little stinker.


• He eats everything you put in front of him. He hasn't rejected anything that I've put in his mouth. Hopefully he stays that way.


• He loves to stand. He'll actually stand on his own while grabbing the coffee table for a few seconds. Until he decides to start bouncing.

I think we're going to see a lot of changes with him in the next month and I can't wait!

Day 3: Photo Challenge

I freakin love this show. Its pathetic how many times I've watched each episode. I have all 10 seasons on DVD and I still watch them over and over again. I don't know what is worse. The fact that I can recite just about every episode or that they still make me laugh out loud even when I know what's coming. And because I'm really this pathetic, I don't go on a road trip without at least one season of friends. Our portable DVD player travels with us to keep us entertained on road trips. We hook up the sound through the speakers and "listen" to Friends on our car trips. I told you I was pathetic.

My favorite episodes:

• The one where Rachel tells Ross she's pregnant. His face is priceless! And the fact that he is "indignant as a consumer" because he didn't know condoms weren't 100% safe just cracks me up.


• The one in Barbados where Joey disappears in the hotel room. Rachel can't find Joey because Monica and Chandler have pulled him through the door of their adjoining room. Rachel spins in circles, looks under the bed, behind curtains. And Ross asks her if she knows where Joey is and she says "I really really don't." I laugh out loud. Every time.
