One step at a time

Like my hair? Gavin's last haircut was a huge disaster... I knew he would scream, but I didn't know the lady at the barber shop would totally freak out and chop his bangs like a 5 year old would. So, we have been "styling" it different ways with gel!

Gavin riding in his "new" car we found on the side of the road.

This boy is officially a walker! He has been taking a few steps on his own for the past few weeks. This weekend he started walking everywhere! He is still a little wobbly but he is so proud of himself!

He likes to carry his toys while he walks.

Mischievous Gav

This sneaky little guy found a way to climb onto my nightstand to destroy our answering machine. He pushed the laundry basket across the room to use it as a ladder:-) Poor Gavin tries to follow his "dada" to work in the morning. Jason had to work in Orlando this past weekend and we got to go with him! Gavin had a blast pushing his car all through the hotel. Sarah came over and spent the day with us Friday. She even babysat Gavin while Jason and I went out to eat! Jason had the brilliant idea of giving Gavin this ice cream bar before we left. What a mess.

Jason was so excited about Gav sleeping on his shoulder because Gavin NEVER lets us hold him while he's sleeping. He fell asleep in the bike carrier an hour before bedtime and we had a tough time waking him up.
Yes, he needs a haircut.

Gavin took his first trip to the zoo this weekend. He liked all the animals and loved the carousel even more. He rode it not once, or twice, or three times, but FOUR times. Granted we were stuck under the pavillion because of a rain shower...but he could probably have stayed there all day.

The sort of new baby jaguar.

Gavin was obsessed with the FISH! He did not want to leave this aquarium.

This is what he looked like after lunch :-)
This boy loves black-eyed peas and macaroni!

Actually smiling after getting his hair washed.

June

I know it's almost been a month since my last post...but a lot has been going on. After Gavin's birthday we went to Alabama for TWO weeks. We were able to visit lots of friends and family so here are the pictures from our trip.
Wrex and Gavin gazing out of the window...they miss each other!


You never know what will happen when Aunt Summer is around.Gavin had a playdate with his new friend Madeline. Madeline's mom, Kristy and I were majorettes together at Auburn. (I don't know why this picture is so small)

Swingin with Grandma.

Gavin was not a happy camper at his Great-Grandmother's house! Making fun prints on the windows for Grandma to clean up later.Visiting Aunt Summer at the bank.Summer and I went to an art class with my friend Amber. It's called Sips and Strokes. You bring your own wine and paint a pretty picture! We had a blast and the paintings turned out beautiful!

Gavin and I rode the train at the Monkey Park! He had a good time but was ready to get off by the third time around the park.

We also were able to attend my 10 year class reunion. Here is a picture of Jason and me at the dinner. Amy, Allison, Lindsey, Sarah, me and Laura
Gavin got very sick on Friday, the last weekend we were in AL. His temperature reached 103.5 and he was pitiful! We went to the doctor twice and all they said was to give him motrin and tylenol. He had the hand, foot, mouth virus. Poor baby could barely lift his head he felt so bad. Then, on Monday he broke out in a terrible rash all over his body. I tried to take a picture of him, but this does not do it justice.

This is Gavin's new outside toy! It attaches to the back of my bicycle and he loves it! The End

1st Birthday!!

Gavin is one year old!!!!

As you can see, Gavin enjoyed his cake...
