Funny Funny Boy

So Jadon thinks he is hilarious, and he really actually is. I propped Tavius up in the recliner while he was asleep and this is what Jadon did.

And then yesterday I'm taking a nap and when I wake up I am holding Tave's giraffe, which really confused me until I was looking through the pictures on the camera later...


Oh how I love him!

Cute Story

A couple of nights ago I was up feeding Tave at about 2 a.m. and of course was dead tired and trying to stay awake enough to keep singing him primary songs. Well, I realized that he had stopped eating so I looked down at him and saw he was just smiling up at me. When I smiled back at him he laughed (not for the first time, but always melts my heart). So I pulled the bottle out of his mouth and he just started laughing so hard! It was the cutest thing! He had this look like he was nice and full and so content (Jadon calls it his "drunk" look). All during that day he was just so cheerful and pleasant and awake. He smiled whenever I would talk to him and even when I'd tickle him, which he usually hates. We couldn't get him to laugh, but I'm okay with that so long as I can keep making him smile!

Update

Well, my handsome little boy now tries to stay awake for most of the day, but I think he is bored because he gets really fussy sometimes. At least it's during the day and not at night time. He doesn't like his swing very much anymore, and he wants to be held 24/7. Sometimes he won't fall asleep unless I am laying next to him. It's my own fault though. I had him sleep by me for the first couple of weeks and he hasn't slept as well since I stopped having him lay by me every night.

This is him in his handsome little church outfit. I also have a green bow-tie my sister-in-law made for him. Isn't he handsome?


And this picture is just too cute not to put up.


You can really see all of his features well in this picture I think.

Okay, moving on...

We have still not closed on our house yet. We will be closing at some point this week though. There was a huge mess with the appliances getting stolen, and then switching title companies, so we haven't been able to close yet, but our apartment is basically all packed, just needs to be cleaned. Volunteers are welcome!

I cannot wait to move into our house and have our own space and to be able to paint (don't worry Jadon, I mean at some point in the future), and decorate, arrange and rearrange until we find our favorite setup, have a backyard for little Tave, look for a kitchen table and stools for the counter...the list goes on and on and on.

I am so happy that we are able to buy a house so young and so early in our marriage. It truly is a blessing. It is so perfect for our needs and I am so grateful for all of Jadon's hard work and extra hours for making it possible for us to have this opportunity.
