Poop in the Tub

I had the following "conversation" with Gavin and Vivian last night:

  • Me: OMG, there's poop in the tub!
  • Vivian: nods her head.
  • Me: Who pooped?
  • Vivian: points at Gavin.
  • Me: Gavin, did you poop in the tub?
  • Gavin: No!
I guess I'll never know...

Viv & Her Animal Sounds

Vivian loves doing animal sounds. Whenever she sees an animal in a book or on TV that she knows, she does the sound. She just loves it.

They're Sour Patch Kids


Vivian and Gavin are a couple of Sour Patch Kids; first they're sour, then they're sweet. It seems like they really get a kick out of injuring one of us and then loving us afterwards. For example, Vivian will head butt Wes and then when he complains or says "ouch," she'll lay her head gently on his chest. Gavin is no different. He'll hit or kick me, realize that he hurt me and then plant a wet kiss on my face. They're definitely Sour Patch Kids.

Funny Stories

The other day, Gavin woke up at 4:45 in the morning screaming and carrying on. I went to get him in hopes that he had not already woken up Vivian. He didn't. She was still asleep. Phew! So I scooped up Gavin and brought him into the living room, turned on Sesame Street, and tried to get him to lay down on the couch with me. He wasn't having it. He was awake. So he jumped off the couch and started playing with his toys. I fell back asleep. Around 6am, I woke up to Vivian yelling "Mamaaaaa!" in her room. As I got up, I looked for Gavin. He was sitting behind the chairs playing with a ball. He was also completely naked. Well, not completely naked. He had shoes on. Somehow he had unzipped his footsie pajamas, wiggled his way out of them, found matching shoes, and put them on the correct feet. That boy is ridiculous.

Another day this past week, Vivian woke up in the middle of the night with what had to be a nightmare (she's prone to those). She was terrified. I rocked her back to sleep for about 30 minutes and then tried to put her back in her crib. Let me first say that I really thought she was completely asleep. She was totally limp and she had already spit out her paci. But, the second I started to lower her into her crib, I heard a tiny little voice whisper, "No no Mama, no no." I had to bite my lip to not laugh out loud. It was hilarious.

Too Much Grace

Vivian loves watching videos of our friends' kids on their family blogs. Based on her behaviors lately, I think she's been watching too many videos of her friend Grace.

Girl's Night ~ February Edition

When we moved to Virginia, making us only 2.5 hours away from the D.C. area, a few of my favorite ladies  (Brandy, Jen, April, and Steph) and I decided that we would try to have a girl's night at least once every two months. And, it seems to be working out-- we all got to see each other in August at our housewarming party and then we had a girl's night in October, November, and this one in February. Not too shabby.

This past weekend, Wes' mom came down to take care of G & V (THANK YOU!!) while Wes was at work on Saturday and Sunday and I drove up to MD for the night. As usual, it was an awesome night. We all met at Stephanie's house, ate some delicious food, and had a few drinks. It was great. Love you girls and can't wait to see you again in April!
