Gavin's new hair cut.

I totally messed up while cutting Gavin's hair. I took the guard off the clippers to trim up his ears and neck and well like every 2 year old he moved around and up the head the clippers went. I tried to save what I could, but Daddy thought it would look better if I just shaved it off. So here is Gav's new cut.. Poor guy.. Sure makes his head look bigger.

Gavin's 2nd birthday

Gavin had a great time on his birthday. It was full of all kinds of excitement. He had many of his friends came over to share the great time with him. Gavin has accomplished many things recently. He knows most if not all of the letters of the alphabet. He can point out many of them in books. Gavin also associates the letters with animals or other objects. Kenney has also helped Gavin recognize President Obama and President George Washington. It is amazing to see how much he has accomplished. He had his 2 year check and the doc said he is above average for height and in the 95% for weight.. She was really impressed with how well he was conversating with her and he knew the jungle animals on the wall. This is the first time he has been ok with letting the doctor look in his ears and mouth. He sure is getting a personality too.

Children's Museum and update.

The last couple visits to the Children's Museum. We went to the one in Everett also that one happens to be amazing. Yesterday we met Ethan, Katy and Bekah. Gavin and Ethan are pretty funny they each like very different things but really enjoyed the fish exhibit together. We had a lot of fun yesterday. Gavin loves the sand box and the music room. He could spend an hour each very. We also talked about the truck and that daddy used to drive a big truck.. He is talking so much and repeats just about everything. He really likes to say "O' Jeez", he can pretty much count to 4 if he is really paying attention. We haven't really started to work on potty training but when he asks to go then I take him. /Gavin's second birthday is coming up and we are planning a Bob The Builder party.

Christmas Again

Christmas with everyone on my mom's side was cancelled due to the snow. We finally celebrated on the 4th. Hard to believe. We had a great day. Gavin won't leave his new learning block thing alone. Between that and the guitar he has had a blast.

Christmas

Gavin had a great Christmas aside from being sick. Here are some pictures.

Finally an update.... Snow

Gavin LOVES the snow. He had so much fun playing in it. We bought him a snow suit and it fit him perfect. He really liked sledding. We were snowed in at Nana and Papas house for a week while our house suffered through frozen pipes and a broken heater. Kenney actually got snowed in for a couple days. We had a really bad snow drift because of all the wind and it got waist high in parts of our yard.

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..
