Can't believe Kenna is five months old today. Seems like just yesterday we were coming home from the hospital with her! But what is even more hard to believe is the fact that I have been able to nurse her this long. I'm ready for that to be over, but there is no end in sight. Kenna REFUSES to eat ANY sort of baby food. She spits it out at me and has just recently started swatting the spoon away from her mouth... greaaaaaaaat. She absolutely hates formula and will only take it when she is at my Mom's and she knows she has no other option. It is quite frustrating.
Gav is doing wonderful. He is very into tattoos at the moment (the rub-ons of course). And all he talks about these days is CHRISTMAS! Every morning, afternoon and night he says to me... "Mommy, its almost Christmas time!" It is adorable. He also lets me know every day that he wants a red motorcycle for Christmas, and that he is going to tell Santa that. I think this is the year he will absolutely love and really understand Christmas.
He loved Halloween this year! He had a birthday party to go to that day so he got to wear his costume, and got his face painted (for the first time). Then we came home and went trick or treating, yes, he actually did it this year. Last year I think he got to our neighbor's house and that was it. He was not into it at all so we came home and he passed out candy. This year he didn't want to stop trick or treating, and he woke up the next morning saying... "Can we go trick or treating today?" So cute.
The countdown is on! We are going to see Curious George Live on the 21st! Gav is super excited about it! Then we've got Thanksgiving, our Christmas party, Christmas, and New Years! I love this time of year and all the Holidays :)

Catching a break to post a good pic
Here is a ridiculously cute picture of the kiddos. This is definitely one for the grandparents, they will be oohing and ahhing over this one for a while ;)

A month, really?
Wow. It's been almost an entire month since I last updated. That is hard to believe. Although a lot did happen in that time period, it just doesn't seem like its been a whole month.
For starters, we went on a little vaca to Destin, Florida. We drove. It was exhausting. It was a 14 hour drive! Let me just say... Never again. If we decide to take a trip next year, we will most definitely be flying. Gav did very well in the car.. He slept most of the way there and watched movies most of the way home. Kenna did well on the way there (sleeping most of the ride). However, on the way home she wanted to be held for the entire 14 hours. Other then the drive, the trip was fun! Gav loved the beach, he had a blast building sandcastles and splashing the water around. We've been home for almost two weeks now and Gavin is still talking about how he wants to "move to the beach" (thanks to Daddy).
Three days after we arrived home, Claire (my mother in law) somehow ended up with the swine flu. As soon as I heard the news I rushed out to the store to pick up 2 jumbo cans of disinfecting Lysol, 2 cases of Clorox disinfecting wipes, 5 bottles of hand sanitizer, and a box of face masks. I walked in the house, busted open all of my new cleaning supplies and immediately started scrubbing and spraying the house. Although I did my damnedest to keep this house swine flu free and kept Claire quarantined to her room with a mask on, we all ended up sick. Gav had been complaining of his ear hurting and started running a 103 degree fever so I took him to the Dr only to find out he had 2 ear infections and an upper respiratory infection. Although that sounds like a lot, I was very relieved thinking that I kept him safe from the flu virus. He got tested for the flu that day but I did not find out until the next day that he tested positive. Poor little guy, you can just look at his eyes and tell he isn't feeling well. Hopefully he will be feeling better in a few days.
As for Kenna, she was tested for the flu and thankfully does not have it. But she does have a slight cough and a diaper rash. I'm just trying to keep Gavin as far away from her as possible. Kris and I both had fevers and a cough and were in bed sick for a few days. I cant wait til we're all healthy again!
Well I've got chili boiling over on the stove, a three year old demanding I fix his broken truck, and a four month old waking up from a nap so I will be posting more later :)
