Adventures

Today Gavin and I ventured off on our own for an entire day in the city. I had a doctor's appointment in Kyle and Brandon took an overtime shift so it was just me and Gavin. I learned a new thing about multi-tasking today (laughing). We survived the doctor's appointment and headed off to Austin to visit Consort. We spent 3.5 hours there!!! Yeah I know...why? I don't know. There were a lot of people wanting to see Gavin and so it took a long time- plus feeding and things- it made for a long day. 


We didn't get our morning nap (2 hours) so he only slept the 15 min I was in the shower and 30 min to the doctor and then 20 min to Austin. Then, the afternoon nap was more like 20 min. cat nap before Enrique's phone went off and woke Gavin up...then he ate again and started to fall asleep so we left. He napped all the way home from Austin and then was up again and cranky and then napped for an hour from 6-7pm when I woke him up and he was very unhappy. That totals about 3.5 hours out of his 5 hours required.


With all this non-napping and him falling asleep at the bottle after his bath, I assumed he would be easily asleep. Well you know what they say about assuming things. After about an hour of playing the "lets see if this blanket will stay on my legs if I kick them up in the air a bunch of times" game and the   "yes I want the pacifier-then I will pull it out and throw it- then I cry because I want it back" game... we played a new game- the "Ok, here's the deal- I will keep the pacifier in my mouth but first you must fluff my blanket and roll it up so I am on my side and then I will play with my hair on the back of my head while sucking my pacifier BUT you must let me hold your hand with my free hand (or else I will rip my pacifier out and we will have to start over)." All I can think is "WHATS NEXT?!" I was able to sneak out after a few minutes but seriously...holding hands now? What is this bedtime routine coming to? 


We took the camera to the dam the other day after it rained and took some pictures... 








Here are some random pictures of Gavin after walking....(his hair is all crazy because I pulled his shirt off and it stuck that way)
