Our Busy Boy is 8 Months Old!

(Round 1 - Gavin wins)

(Round 2 - Gavin wins)

(Round 3 - Mommy wins!)

I can't believe another week has flown by...and it has been another busy one! Cary spent last week meeting all the teachers, kids and parents at his new school, and Gavin and Mommy spent lots of time hanging out! (I'm so thankful that I'm not REALLY a single mom, it just felt like it last week!) No official word on a house...but we are waiting for a response to our counter-offer on a house in Hudson that we are totally in love with!

Gavin is getting busier and busier every day, but through all the craziness he has remained a pretty happy little guy! I can't believe our little man turned 8 months old last week, where has the time gone? He is starting to get into a clingy phase and isn't so content playing by himself anymore...or at least not once he figures out we are not right next to him! He loves to dump out all of his blocks and play with the bucket and one of his favorite things to chew on is the package of wipes! He also loves to talk now and is quite a story teller!From the amount of drool coming out of his mouth we figure there must be more teeth coming soon!

Friday night we went to stay with the Aizpurua's...Luciana is 6 months older than Gavin and is running around non-stop! It is amazing how much these little people change in just a few months. It was fun to watch them play together and watch each other.

Saturday we went up to Solon Springs, WI where we had a burial and picnic for my Grandma Ceal who passed away in March. My Uncle Bob and Aunt Ann and cousins Laurie and Kevin traveled up from Florida for the occasion so it was very fun to see them and introduce them to G! We enjoyed a beautiful day in the sun spending time with family. Gavin loved splashing around in the water, and then got to sun his naked buns afterwards!

Sunday we went looking at houses (thanks Dan for all of your patience with us!) and then ended up at the McNamara's for a bbq. It was fun to see the 4 babies interact. Luciana was the kissing bandit (I'm sure she will love to be reminded of this when she is 13), and Spencer cried when Gavin tried to talk to him! So far the count is 3 boys and 1 girl...what side is BabyMac going to be on? I'm guessing girl! It is funny though how just a few years ago we would all be meeting at the bar around 8:30, now we are all packing up to head home around 8:30!

Last night we went for dinner at Rob and Peg's to enjoy one last dinner with Kevin and Laurie before they head back to Florida! I'm sure when we see them again Gavin will be running around.
