Made at home Vinyl Letter

I love the vinyl letters and all the wonderful saying that are out there. I love that they are getting so common place that Target and Walmart are starting to sell them. The only thing is I'm cheap. There I said it.

I bought the cricut brand vinyl at Robert's, used their 40% coupon and got a roll for only $5. I made a sign for my little sister. And the remaining vinyl I made this...

Everything was cut from my cricut. I LOVE that thing. I wish I had the Cricut Expressions but I got mine when they first came out and all they had was the Personal Cricut Machine. I do use my Cricut Design Studio all the time to get the bigger letters and connect my letters for each word.

For this project I used:
Storybook Cartridge
Cuttin' Up Cartridge
Opposite Attracts Cartridge

The other frame is waiting for my youngest's picture which I haven't gotten yet... ugh!

The frames I got during the 50% sale at Roberts so they only cost me about $12 a piece. So all together this project costed me roughly $26.

1/2 way to 1 year old

Can you believe that Gavin is already 6 months old! Time really is flying bye. First the Summer is practically over and now Gavin is 6 months old... Wow!

I have to say I'm ready for this little guy to start moving on his own. He's getting tired of sitting in one place. Even rolling has gotten old for him. If he's left for too long on his own he crys and wants to be picked up. The cutest thing is when I walk near him he now lifts his arms up for me. How can I resist something so cute! But holding our little man for very long is getting harder and harder. He's a big boy!

Gavin is getting so big (both length and weight). And we love every inch of him. I love his chubby little legs and thick neck. I especailly love to kiss them. Gavin is also so ticklish. And in the right mood I can get him laughing really good.

Gavin loves his big brother. No matter how rough Zack is with thim he just laughs. I'm sure he's just delighted that his big brother is playing with him. But Zack better watch out once Gavin gets moving on his own he'll get back at him.

As always with babies there are many firsts for them. This past month was the first time Gavin went camping. (it's also the first time we went camping as a family!)
6 month stats:
20.6 pounds- 90th percentile
28.8 inches long - 95 percentile
Head Circumfrance - 17.8 inches - 75 percentile
All together - we have one big boy!

Zack's head was always in the 5-10 percentile so already Gavin is much bigger then Zack (which he needs with a brother like Zack!)

Frustrating Shopping Day

It has been getting harder and harder to shop with Zack. He's figured out that he can get out of the shopping cart so with Gavin in the front the only place for Zack is in the basket. Which makes grocery shopping pretty much impossible because the food WILL get stepped on. Then there is the problem of him getting out of the shopping cart. And he runs... And hides. It makes shopping very stressful!

As I mentioned Today was a very bad day. I decided to take Zack and Gavin to Robert's with me to pick up ONE thing that I needed. Of course they didn't have it. Since we go to Robert's often Zack knows where some tiny erasers are. They are stupid and there are a TON of them. And they are just were he can see them all. So naturally he grabs a handful. I usually don't mind because he'll put them back. But tonight he was putting them in his mouth... GROSS. So I took them from him and put them back. He S.C.R.E.A.M.E.D... and screamed and screamed. Fun times. It was so embarassing because Robert's echos so it sounded even worse. Then to top it off he started hitting me. Yeah fun times. Everyone was looking at me and probably shaking their heads at such an unruly child. Not only couldn't I control him but he was hitting me.



So we left.

But I had to buy one thing so I had a screaming child with me. The lady was being nice but she wasn't even saying anything to me. Then I started to cry. Yup right; there at the register. Me crying. I was so embarrased. For how my child was acting and my reactions to him.

I HATE THIS STAGE!
