Chatter Box!

In the last 2 weeks Gavin has had a "language explosion"! In fact, he pretty much doesn't stop talking! He is really starting to talk in phrases as well...some of his favorites are Mommy/Daddy "come on" or come here. He is also quite fond of Snowman, Tanta Clause, and Miderman! Gavin is also quite fond of our Christmas decorations...the bottom half of our tree has been rearranged several times, and we've had a few broken ornaments! He also loves to point out every light and rearrange the beads! We decided to get Gavin his own tree, thinking he would leave our big tree alone...didn't quite work as planned, but he does love his tree too!

Rearranging the Ornaments

Gavin also loves to be the "helper"...now if only we could get him to actually be helpful!
I love the look on his face in this picture...he's checking out Daddy's motorcycle ornament, which ended up in 2 pieces :)

Any tips on how to get him to stop picking his nose?

Just like Mom and Dad, Gavin is checking out the Sunday morning ads! We've looked through all of the toy ads SEVERAL times!


I bought Gavin these pjs after Christmas last year because I thought they were too cute...well turns out they aren't super practical! I don't think you can put a kid to sleep with a hood, and he can't wear them outside because they have footies! So after his bath one night we decided to let him play Santa!

So proud (and cute) in his Tanta pj's!

He also thinks he's pretty funny!

Gavin saw my tall rubber boots by the door one day...here's attempt 1

I've got them on, now how do I stand?

Attempt 2

Attempt 3...frustrated!

I did stand him up, but he fell over before I could take the picture!

G tried to put on his pants by himself...he got his legs in the right holes, but they were upside down...we'll keep working on that!

Big stuff in his new Spiderman hat! For the record, I don't like "character-wear", but wanted a hat that would cover his ears and neck...and this is what I found! He LOVES it :)

When the cold weather hits, we can at least dress in our Hawaiian wear!
