Gavin's Big Day!

We had so much fun celebrating Gavin's Birthday and want to thank all of those who joined in! We got a great start on a college savings account, and so much priceless advice for Gavin's time capsule/memory book! He's very lucky to have such wonderful family and friends! Here are some fun videos of Gavin's Big Day!

Our first Halloween with Gavin!
We went to Dax and Jen's so Gavin got to see his cousin's It was impossible to get a good picture of all of them, although Kelty (the blonde in the back) was posing perfectly in all of them!
The back view!
Touchdown!
Gavin spent half of the night putting his candy in, and then taking it back out of his pumpkin. Apparently he hasn't learned what else you can do with chocolate!

10 months and growing!

It's hard to believe, but Gavin turned 10 months old today (not quite as cool of a date as last month when he turned 9 months old on 9/9/09) but, he did take his first steps tonight! He only took two, but it was very cute and exciting. Here are some other things he's been up to:

• Waving Hello, and Goodbye
• Trying to say "Allie" (our dog's name, and his favorite friend)
• Making and Indian sound (ah-wa-wa with his hand to his mouth, or mom or dad's hand)
• Love's to eat finger foods
• Standing up everywhere and anywhere with no assistance
• Jumping while standing
• Jumping on Dad
• Falls asleep great on his own
• Cheesy smile
• 1st tooth
• laughs when we do silly stuff
• Walking while pushing a "walking toy"
• drinking from sippy cup
• kind of can throw a ball

Here are a few pics I took today, He has been sick and it was hard to get a smile, so I'll post happier one's soon!

6 months already!

So I'm eating lunch at work and decided I should do a quick post! Gavin is getting soooo big! He is 6 months old now and is:

• sitting up all by himself
• loves to eat everything
• can self-feed gram crackers like a champ
• is getting better at falling asleep on his own
• tries to pull himself up to things
• can scoot on his belly for toys
• loves baths
• gives hugs and kisses
• says da da and ya ya (with an occasional mmmm or ma)
• shakes his head no
• can get out of his car seat if he's not buckled in
• learned how to blow/spit through his lips, and likes to practice this trick while eating (messy but cute, and Dad's favorite)

The other night I was laying side by side with him on our bed reading books. The first two we're darling pop-up books Aunt Carol gave us. He loved them and kicked and made noises the whole time. Then the 3rd book was "How do I love you" that Aunt Jessica gave Gavin. Throughout the whole book he kept turning to me, grabbing my face and giving me kisses, it was sooo adorable. Sometimes I wonder if could get any cuter, then the next day comes, and lo and behold he has!
