Gavin is 2!

On Monday our little man turned 2! I can't hardly believe it...but I swear he gets more fun by the day! Since the weather cancelled our original Christmas plans, we decided to do a Christmas birthday combo celebration! Rob, Peg and family along with Grandma B and Gram came over in the afternoon for some snacks and presents!

Dan, Kristi and Liam then joined us for the birthday celebration...

Gavin got a new hot wheel from Dan and Kristi...for now it is still in the box, but he loves to climb up on it, yell "watch me" and then jump off! I don't think Dan and Kristi realized how much fun the box alone would be! Now we just have to wait for some nice weather so he can get outside and ride it!

Matthew striking a pose with the snowman...what a ham!

Ella was so sweet to share her new Biddy Baby with Gavin.

So seriously studying his new train

Matthew close by to help with the next present...and notice the school bus in his right hand, wouldn't want to put that down. Gavin did pretty well opening presents, but he wanted to play with everything once he opened them instead of moving to the next present! Totally understandable!

We got Gavin a drum...maybe I should say I did! He is quite a little musician

He put on quite a concert...the drum has since been put away, and will probably come back out in the spring when we can play it outside

After presents it was time for cupcakes! Elmo cupcakes are so yummy!

Turning 2 means a trip to the doctor!

He has realized that the doctor's office = pain. He started crying as soon as we walked in. He didn't end up getting any shots this time, but did get his finger pricked. ( you would have thought they were cutting off his finger). Here he is showing me his band aid. The nurse let him pick out a sticker...he picked My Little Pony.

The doctor thought he looked perfect, just what every parent wants to hear! We don't go back for a well visit until he's 3! Seems so long from now, so we talked about moving him to a big boy bed and preparing him for a sibling! Yikes :) He weighed in at 25 pounds 9 ounces (25th %) and was 34 inches tall (50%)! He also passed the autism screening with flying colors...whew!

Best part of the doctor's visit for G...a sucker!


We ventured to Eau Claire for New Year's Eve...we had a good night celebrating with friend's and their kids, but I failed to take pictures other than this one of Spencer and Gavin coloring with the new colors Finley got him for his birthday!

Happy New Year's to everyone...may 2010 treat you very well!
