Dreams, Talking and Fetch?

Just a few pictures that I wanted to share with Brad so here they are for all of you too! My BFF Shannon and her daughter Ava are coming to visit us tonight for the weekend so I will have more great pictures after teh weekend and of our movie matinee date tomorrow.

Gavin fell asleep feeding himself his own bottle for bed.

My Poor Baby!

Bradley being a puppy and making me play fetch with him. A new weird phase he is in.

He actually ruffs conversations to me and I have to tell him I don't speak Puppy!

Talking to Daddy on the phone just today! They were having a very intense conversation, cant you tell. They are repaving our road in front of our house and he was telling daddy about the "work constructors" instead of construction workers! Love It! The BQOTD from yesterday was "Mommy your a good car driver!" as I was driving him to camp. My little back seat driver.

Ordinary is in the Unordinary

These are some pictures from this past week and as I was looking at my children do the crazy and cute things they do I realized I am NOT your average mom and we are not your typical family.  Boys will be boys and I am a mom of boys that has adapted to that and is trying every day to learn what they need to thrive and how God made them unique.  Also, being married to the wonderful military husband that I am, I don’t think you can be normal in this lifestyle and it takes a special woman I think to be able to roll with the punches and change their lives often or be a single mom in essence, a lot (and I’m not just talking about me being that special woman, so many are).  I am however, a very easy going mom in many ways and here are just a few.  Don’t get me wrong I do cringe at some of these things but I pick my battles and let some of them happen.  Mainly in regard to Bradley but these pictures of Gavin are of his progress these days and all the fun he is having exploring.  He is 8 months now as of 2 days ago and he is saying “ma-ma” and “da-da” and “ba-ba” for his bottle. 

 

I let him fly like Superman off the kitchen table.

He skates in the house since its not dirty.

He takes blood baths.  Just kidding, it’s red bath crayons!

He eats on the table so he can have his legs out wrapped in his alien bath towel, not his blanket.

because these are things that make him happy!

Was I not supposed to give him the sharp corn holders? I did because he thought they were neat! This is believe it or not his first corn on the actual cob. 

He drags everything out, blankets, pillows and cushions to build forts and play. 

Now on to Gavin….

 

He loves sweet potato french fries!

He has been doing this for the past couple of weeks.  Trying to get leverage on small things to stand.

Then he got a little higher.

Then he did this!!!

Look, one hand!

Then I got our table back from a friend and although he hasn’t climbed up this yet.  He is in heaven standing!

See, he LOVES it!

Lastly, I leave a BQOTD. 

“ Good job, You did It!  I like you Gavin and I like playing with you and I’m your best friend Gavin.”

He said this after he was so excited for him that he sat down from playing on his music table gracefully without falling. 

To: daddy From: your super boys

 

Happy Fathers Day to our real live Superhero,

Superman showed us how to wear a cape, but super strength, integrity, honor, courage, how to have fun and loving to the fullest are all things we learned from you Daddy.

Heroes aren’t born, They’re made!

Thanks for being our Hero and making us into a Superman just like you one day.
