Sweet Friends

Recently, we have been blessed to have Lil Miss "J" hang out with us once a week, while her sisters are taking swim lessons. She is the sweetest little girl and she and Gavin have a blast together. It is such a joy to watch them play together.

Mobility update

I forgot to mention in the previous post that Gavin is able to walk now, while holding onto people's hands. It is a small but significant step towards independent walking. :-)

Baby's first bleeder :-/

Gavin had his first injury yesterday. He fell on the tile floor and bit through his top lip. He was a trooper and only cried for a little bit. His lip bled for a little while and still has a little scab.

Easter "baskets"

Gavin had a fun Easter. He looked for Easter eggs at home with daddy. He was very good at finding his eggs and excited to eat the treats inside. Then, he opened his Easter basket. He got lots of small toys, including stacking cups, Little People and a Chewbacca doll.

Gavin's Easter "basket" from his Poppa and Tutu was a Cozy Coupe car! He loves riding around in his new wheels.



Gavin got an awesome Easter basket from his Opa and Gogie. He loves his mix and match eggs and cannot get enough of his new books!

Fun times from Easter weekend

The reason that you don't leave Uncle Rodger in charge while you run out.....that IS a baby learning how to operate a Wii-mote.

We got Gavin's one year pictures! I think they turned out beautifully!

Slidin' Along Just Fine

Gavin is growing up so fast! He is really blossoming and seems to be getting bigger every day. Today at the park, Gavin discovered the joys of sliding. Now, he has been on slides before but today he went down SLIDES. As in, slides big enough for mommy to fit down. In fact, he chose to send himself down one side that I felt was too big for him. He made it to the bottom just fine but was clearly a little shaken :-) After that, we decided to stick with the tall slide that is enclosed. He enjoyed climbing up the stairs to the top of the slide and then diving down to mommy at the bottom.

Weeeeee!
