Our boy is a 1 year old!

I haven't been on here in forever...so sorry for that! We've been extra busy lately!!! Little man turned one a month ago and instantly became a toddler! He's already walking, running, and playing soccer! He has a handful of words, his favorites of which are "dada", "mama", "papa", "mickey", and "belly" (our puppy dog). And we are working on our 8th (and possibly 9th) tooth! He's going to have a big old smile for Mickey when he meets him in less than 2 weeks! Papa and Grammy are taking us for mommy's 30th birthday and so that Gavin can meet Mickey for the first time! I know he'll have a blast trick or treating for the first time in Disney World!!! I will definitely post pictures of him (and the whole crew) dressed up as the 101 Dalmations!!!!

First Time Swimming in the Lake

Well we had quite the exciting weekend with our little man. We went up to the lake and he went swimming for the first time with Daddy! He had so much fun! We found a little blow up boat and he floated in it for about an hour the first day! He let Daddy's float him on his back and he learned how to kick in the water to make a BIG splash! The puppies had a lot of fun too! Duke swam the whole time Gavin was in the water, and Bella got in once Mommy talked her into it. I think this little boy is going to be just like his Daddy...my little otters!

On another note, Gavin has gotten quite good at crawling and pulling up...I hate to say it, but I'm sure this child will be running around soon! I don't know how we'll ever keep up with him, as he can go a mile a minute already - just crawling!!! He nevers ceases to amaze us!
Well- off to go catch that little booger again!

Easter Weekend

We had such a wonderful Easter this year! We got to wake up and open our basket from the Easter bunny and then we got all dressed up and went to church with our friends Meredith, Kai, Jeff, and Anne. It was a lot of fun! Then we met daddy at work and went over to Aunt Janie's for a little bit and hung out with the gang before dinner at Zsa-Zsa and Grandpa's with Ray. Then after dinner we drove up to the lake and spent the "weekend" with Zsa-Zsa and Grandpa. We swam in our little pool, crawled around, played with our toys, and just relaxed! It was definitely a wonderful 1st Easter!

Gavin's 1st Trip to the Beach!

Wow it's been a long time since I've written anything on here! Little man is doing great! We just got back from our first trip to the beach and he LOVED it! We are already planning our next trip down! While we were there, Gavin learned how to soldier crawl, he started working on fullblown crawling, his bottom two front teeth broke thru, he started eating solid, solid food, and he turned 7 months old! It was a very relaxed but productive trip! ;D We sure did have fun spending 6 whole days as a family! Hard to come back to reality- hopefully not for long though! Here are some pics of our trip to Kiawah for Little Man's 7 month birthday!
