Blog Confessions...

So I have a blog confession...I really DO NOT enjoy updating Gavin's blog (as you've probably figured out when the posts don't come very frequently anymore)! At this point, I have no idea who even reads this, except for Scotty who informed me it was time for an update! So I got to thinking....why am I even doing this and the best answer was it is the only way I'm ever going to keep track of how fast our little man is growing! Having the blog in the back of my mind does remind me to take pictures, and I do like to look back and see how much Gavin (and us) have changed! In fact when I logged in I got a message that this was our 100th post! I probably should print this out and make it into a book or something, as I'm pretty sure Gavin may never have a scrapbook (I do have some pictures printed in a shoe box...but that's about as far as I've gotten with those too)! It almost seems to defeat the purpose to print out an online blog! So for tonight, I'll share with you how big our little man is getting!


I just love kids in their jammies!
Visiting Daddy at School

Seriously, how big is he? It seems that just in the last month Gavin has changed so much! He LOVES to play with balls, cars, trains, puzzles and coloring (especially with markers and pens)


Cheese!

He is pretty creative when he wants to get something...like here where he pushed his chair up to the island to try to reach the computer!


Gavin is talking quite a bit now...he knows quite a few body parts - including eyebrows, animals and their sounds, what treats are, and will point his finger at us and say "don't" or "no". He is enjoying looking through all of the toy catalogs that are out right now and picking out things that he knows, I'm amazed every time by the little things he can pick out!

Gavin had been pretty quite for a few minutes, this is what Cary found when he went to check on him...

Gavin had helped himself to the goldfish in his diaper bag!



G decided he'd better eat quick before Dad took them away! What else can you do but laugh?


Daddy and G get pretty creative when they play together!


Grandma B came to stay and play with us! G is a BIG fan of her and even said the next day...Grma B go bye bye :( We hope she comes to play again soon!

We took advantage of Grandma B's free babysitting services, and went out on a double date with Dan and Kristi! We realized the last time the 4 of us had been out to dinner without kids was for my 30th birthday (over 2 years ago, which was also before kids)...we decided we need to do it more often!

Yes we do have to do that more often! And the pictures of him and the goldfish are awesome. Gotta love a kid who's caught in the act! He looks like such a toddler now...his face has changed even in the last few weeks. Too cute!

We still read the blog. It us a pain to do but I keep telling myself I will be happy some day that I did it as I've hardly filled out his baby book!
