Spring is Here!

We are excited that the sun has finally decided to return, and are taking advantage of being outside as much as we can! I'm amazed at how much Gavin has changed from last summer...he loves being outside, in fact we usually have to bribe him or drag him inside.

Peek...looking out from the playhouse at the park
He can do all the ladders on the playground now, except the rock wall...no fears here!

Look who we found on our walk...

Our cute little godson... Liam is at the stage G was last year, still a bit clumsy and ALL OVER THE PLACE!

This bike is seriously the best...G doesn't care to be in his stroller for walks around the neighborhood anymore.


Spring Training...

Our little slugger getting in some batting practice, not the greatest picture, but it was a great hit!


Gavin got a Hot Wheel for his birthday from Dan and Kristi so this weekend we decided to get it out!

Daddy reading directions...and G was trying to wait very Patiently!

Finally time for a test drive, it was totally worth the wait! He's cruising all over the house.

Nakie Driver...watch out, here I come

In preparation for our vacation we joined the McNamara's out for some Mexican food

Gavin and Daddy had some...

Dos XX

G won the chugging contest! Just teasing, it was empty of course, but he does look like a pro!

Gavin continues to LOVE to help, especially in the kitchen! Even though he is NOT so helpful most of the time, we really are trying to let him do as much as he can. Look how proud he is to be helping me wash lettuce for a salad!

Chef G at work!

Gavin's language is exploding every day! The other day he said, " I did not know that"...Cary and I look at each other and said...what did you just say? WOW..we really need to watch what we are saying. He can also count to 5, and knows most of his colors and shapes! He is also starting to sing quite a bit. I look at him and ask myself...where did my baby go?

We aren't Irish, but St. Patty's day was a good excuse for a cute t-shirt...

and and excuse to eat green foods...

like pickles and asparagus...see my pickle (he loves them just as much as his mom)

Saturday we helped Spencer celebrate his 2nd birthday

G was talking about cake from the moment he saw the invite...

yeah for Spencer and for cake


We also joined Monica and Thomas at the Children's Museum this week...

G liked the little dinosaur, but was scared of the big ones! We had a blast, and he fell asleep on the way home!

Gavin is also really starting to notice when all 3 of us are not around and is asking...Daddy go? or Mommy go? Friday night Grandma B babysat so Cary and I could go to the Pipestone Girl's basketball game. Grandma reported G was a good boy, but was sad and asking where we were. I hope he isn't sad the whole time we are in Mexico or it could be a long week for both G and Grandma!

Sorry this post was kind of long...but we've been busy and our boy is just too dang cute!
