Gavin's Surgery

Thank you to all of you who thought about Gavin today. His surgery went very well. He was even up running around sooner then we anticipated. He has a little stiffness in his legs but that is pretty expected since they gave him an injection in his lower spine. Kind of like an epidural but it is called something else. Then he was under full anesthesia. We opted not to have him sedated on his way to get the gas. That was when I broke down. He was crying so hard when the anesthesiologist took him away. I felt like the worst mom in the world.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween.... The boys had so much fun. Gavin was pretty fond of being Bob The Builder...

The Boys

The boys had a lot of fun playing together. They are getting so big...

Mommy's "Mini Me"

I had to stop and get a latte the other morning. Gavin knew and said, "nummy nums". I knew it wouldn't stop until I got him something. So, the barista put a little milk inside of a cip and a straw that way I at least knew he couldn't dump a whole cup on him. He was so excited so I had to stop and take his picture. I kept asking him how he liked his coffee. He kept saying, "coffee mommy".

Pumpkin Patch

This is the 2nd year we have gone to the pumpkin patch. Gavin had a lot of fun hanging with his cousin Z. They rode in the train and thought it was pretty cool.

Zayne's B-day

Zayne's birthday was at Jungle Playland. Gavin had a blast hanging out with his cousins.. Madison and Allison came too. All the kids had a blast playing..

Ethan and Gavin

E-Man and Gav-Man have been buddies well since they were in their mommies tummies. Here are recent pictures of them playing together and pictures of them when they were a couple months old.

Misc. pictures and a day in Seattle

Just a little up date on Gav-man... He is growing and talking more every day. He repeats just about everything we say. He also enjoys singing the ABC's. We enjoy every momemt of his learning experiences. Gavin had some eye hives. The dermotologist said that they should go away. Sure enough they have gone and stayed away for a couple weeks now. YEAH!!! 1 down.. Next week we go to Children's Hospital. Gavin is still missing a tesitcle and hopefully next week the doctors will find it and and they can do surgery to correct it.

Gavin is the builder

So, Gavin has chosen his profession. He is determined to be a builder. Bob the Builder. He sees the Bob the Builder logo and will say Bob usually he will continue to repeat it over and over. Too funny. Since he enjoys hammers and stuff we decided to get him his own work bench. He totally loves his electric drill and drill bits and knows what to do with his wrench, screw drivers, drill and screws. We went to his pals birthday and he saw a hammer with Bob on it and wouldn't let go of it.. Here are pictures of his work bench.

Finally.. It has been awhile. But they are in..

These are all very random pictures over the last month. Enjoy! A little update on Gavin. He is growing and growing. Everyday is something new. He is talking so much more and enjoys exploring. He has started working on the ABCs and 123s. Loves his pals at daycare. He was so excited to see Lily and Kaleb when they finally came back from vacation. They are breakfast buddies. His favorite thing to do right now is playing in the sandbox that Papa built for the boys. We have been in a battle with the red bumps by his eyes. So, far we are at 5-1 with doctors. 5 doctors including a dermatologist say that it is just an irritation and will probably be gone in about 6-8 months. 1 doctor thought it was something more serious hence getting another opinion. So, we are not 100% sure what it is. The good part is, it doesn't seem to bother him.

Winthrop

We had a great time in Wintrop.. Thank you Nana and Papa for such a wonderful time and view to wake up to every morning.
