14 Months!

Gavin turned 14 months on Saturday and has grown up so much. He’s such a big boy now!! He has developed quite the personality and is so much more outgoing now. He waves at everyone he sees when we are out and about which is so cute and definitely gets us lots of attention. He loves playing with his blocks and cars and drum set and loves reading books especially ones with animals. We pulled out the baby Einstein Old McDonald dvd about a month ago and Gavin was mesmerized. He loves the animals and will sing e-i-e-i-o along with the video, it’s so cute! Within this last week Gavin has really started walking quite a bit and is getting more and more confidence to take off on his own. Nothing is safe anymore. I think it’s time to do some more baby proofing. It’s been a rough month with two ear infections and a nasty cold but he’s been a trooper through it all and we are all looking forward to the end of this LONG winter. This past weekend my parents came down and helped us replace some carpet in our basement with tile. We are doing all the finishing touches next weekend so I will post before and after pictures when we are done but it already looks SO much better than the dirty carpet that was down there before. Enjoy the new pictures of Gavin!

Look who's walking.....

Happy Valentines Day!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Happy Valentine's weekend everyone! Enjoy the new pictures. Gavin is growing like crazy and so close to walking! He just goes a mile a minute and has no fear. Most of the time he thinks he can walk so he just pulls up on something an takes off and takes a few steps and then crashes since he doesn't have much balance yet. He started daycare at the beginning of this month. The first week was a little rough and quite an adjustment but last week went really well and he really likes playing with all the little kids and we can alreay tell that he is learning alot. He's still talking a ton. Some of his new favorite words are nana(banana), cracker and milk (see a pattern here, he still loves to eat lol!)

Look at me go!

Birthday party weekend!

Gavin had such a great time at his party on Saturday! He loved his cake and did a great job opening all of his presents. It was so great to see all of our friends and family. We had his check up on Friday and he is doing great. His weight was 26 lbs 2 ozs. and he was 31 1/4 inches tall which are both in the 90th percentile. The dr. was very impressed with how much he was talking. He's still not walking but is pulling up on everything and his balance is getting better every day. He's very close and i'm sure he will be walking in the next month or two. Right now we are working on transitioning from formula and the bottle to milk and next week he will have two trial days at day care and then will start there full time Feb. 1st so lots of changes coming. Were hoping he will adjust well!! Enjoy the pictures from Gavin's birthday. He is such a big boy now!!

Happy First Birthday Gavin!

Yesterday Gavin turned one!! What an amazing year for us! Hard to believe he is already that old but we look forward to all the joys to come. Yesterday we celebrated with some presents from mom and dad and some cake. His first taste of a real sweet and he loved it! We have his check up tomorrow and then his party with friends and family on Saturday so I will post more pictures after that. We look forward to seeing everyone!
