Jackson has really enjoyed going to preschool and is attending 2 days a week 9am-12pm. His teacher is so nice and he's learning so much. I am so impressed with his ability to adapt to new situations and his outgoing personality is probably coming about because of all of these new interactions that he's had. He's also having a great time going to storytime. He loves the crafts at the end. He especially likes to cut and glue. He doesn't always like to follow the directions, he prefers to get the scissors and glue and make his own project. The first couple of weeks I let him, because it was something new, but now we are working on completing our crafts. Jackson has also started gymnastics and loves it. He has so much fun on the "monkey bar" and doing "donkey kicks". We also purchased a Zoo membership and have been able to go to the zoo a couple of times in the last few weeks.
Gavin is growing so fast. I can't believe he's already 2 months!! Time sure does fly with the second one. Tonight we got out his new Bumbo chair and he was sitting in it. He looks like such a big boy. :) Yesterday we went for his 2 month visit and everything was great. He is now on the chart--5% for weight and almost on the chart for height. He was 9 lbs 1 oz and 21 inches long. I said, "Yay, now he's a newborn." :)
I am truly loving being home with both of my guys and especially being able to enjoy all of the growth and development I have already seen in Gavin. It's so amazing. It's such a different approach the second time around. I am so much more laid back now compared to when Jackson was a baby. Of course it could be that I just don't have time to worry over every little thing like I did when Jackson was a baby. Gavin is such an angel. He truly is such an easy going laid back little guy. Jackson is so good with him and he always says, "I love you, Gavin" and hugs and kisses him. And he'll say, "You're so cute, Gavin. You're so tiny. I love you, baby brother." I hope that they can always be like this. I can dream can't I? I know that there will be bumps in the road, but I think that there is a foundation of love and I think that they'll be close. I love their personalities together so far and can't wait to see what the future brings.
On February 6th my sister, Brooke celebrated a milestone by stepping into a new decade. She turned 30 or as her cake said Dirrrty 30--throwback to Xtina. She had lots of fun with friends and family and I'm glad that we were able to celebrate with her in Austin. Happy Birthday, Brookie!!! Love you!!!
I promise to get better about blogging. I hate having to sit down and spill 1 month of happenings, so I'm going to really try and update more frequently. Here are some random pictures from the last month. Check out how big my Gavin is getting!!!
By the way...loving American Idol this season. That 16 year old Allison is unbelievable. I love all the top 6 so far and can't wait to see the next 6 to make up the top 12. I'm willing to bet that Allison, Adam, and Danny go very far in the competition. I never even watched the show until last year and now I'm hooked. Matt and I record it and watch it after we put the kids to bed.
