Hanging out

Watching Baby Einstein...
Pulling up on the couch...

Laughing like crazy...


Taking after his Aunt Lele and closing his eyes for a picture...;-)
Crinkled nose smile...

Getting tired of mommy taking pictures...

Thinking about attacking the camera...

Watch out, here I come!

I wish I could say this is a kissy face. Those are his mad lips while trying to take the camera away. haha

This is the snake Jason found in the front yard Tuesday morning (already dead). Ew.

Fun Saturday...

We went to a park this afternoon and it was beautiful.




He just can't stop feeling of that new tooth with his tongue!



Look, twins! Gavin looks a lot like Jason's dad in this picture.












What a cutie!

The kid can finally crawl

This morning this cute little baby decided to crawl!!! He has been scooting backward for so long! He is still a little confused after he reaches his destination and will crash on his belly and flop like a fish and whine a little bit...but at least he can go after what he wants now!! Maybe he will wear himself out enough to sleep longer than four hours at a time at night? Doubt it.
Just look at those chunky arms!

He is happy here, I promise. He just wouldn't smile for the camera.



Easter Sunday.

I can't believe Gavin will be 10 months old in two days! He is a little man baby!!
Last weekend Jason's parents came to visit and Gavin had such a good time. He played and shopped all weekend long:) We took Jason's parents to Whole Foods and I bought some gelato...mmmmm. And when Jason wasn't looking, I let Gavin have a few bites! Of course, like his mommy, he loves ice cream. Now if he could just learn how to chew foods without throwing up or us having to do baby heimlich. He still only eats the pureed baby foods.



Today we went to the beach and Gavin dug in the sand most of the time.









This was taken a few days ago after a nap...he just realized that he can sit up in his crib. Don't worry, we moved the mattress down just in case he learns to pull himself up in the middle of the night.

A picture update

It seems like yesterday we brought home this tiny little bundle... ...but that was 9 and half months ago!! Now he's ripping apart everything he can find and making his way across every room (backwards).

He has his own little box of kleenex he likes to destroy. He thinks it's pretty funny too.

His Grandma (my mom) bought some bubbles while she was here. He LOVES them! They were a little confusing at first because he could not grab them.

A little organization

This past weekend my parents came back to spend a little more time with their favorite (and only ;)) grandson. My mom stayed a few extra days because she has spring break this week. It was WONDERFUL having her here! A little help during the day every now and then is so nice. I should say a lotta help! She organized my overflowing guest room closet, the hideously unfolded towels in my linen closet, the "where the heck are our important papers" office closet, AND my pantry which looked full until everything was nicely tucked away into place. The woman can organize. If you have a hopeless closet or room, just call Cindy and she'll work her magic (for a nominal fee). :-)
Other than organizing, Gavin had so much fun with his Grandma. After a day or so he didn't have to stare at her for an hour before letting her play with him or pick him up. She took a ton of cute pictures that I'll share later...or when she loads them, haha.
Gavin is having a "whine fest" today! I think it's because of his teeth. I wish he could tell me what is wrong so I could help him be happy! He still likes to party in the middle of the night so I'm sure being sleepy does not help his swollen little gums. His new favorite game is opening and closing his dresser drawers...I don't know why he gets such a kick out of sliding them back and forth but it is hilarious. I wish I were that easily amused.
Here are a few pictures from last week that are too cute not to share!

A few pictures

Playing with Mommy before bathtime.


Happy in the jumparoo.




Enjoying some prunes at the Mexican restaurant. Yummm!



Look at me riding in my new carseat!


Not too happy about cheering for Mommy in the cold.

I'm really disgusted with this situation.

Playing with dada in the front yard.



Taking a sweet little nap.
