'HAT, HAT, HAT'

One day week or so ago as we were driving all of a sudden I hear Gavin screaming Hat Hat Hat... so I stopped at the light and turned around to see Gavin wearing his 'hat' of baby wipes. After saying "Gavin, those are 2 cents each!" I took away the baby wipe container he had nearly emptied to make his hat and let him enjoy it. He's so silly!

Gavin does chores

... and Gavin LIKES doing chores. He's in the 'me do' 'me help' stage of life. He likes to vaccuum at Grandma's especially.

Gymnastics Class

Gavin gets to go to gymnastics with his daycare friends every Wednesday morning. He has become a very good listener and does really well in all the activities. He can touch his feet to the bar (which is good I guess :) ) and do all kinds of fancy trampoline jumps and acrobatic things. Fancy for a toddler at least. The pictures are all so blurry - Gavin was in constant motion and I'm just not that great of a photographer. Maybe next time I'll ask if I can go down to the floor next to them to take picturs. Anyway, he loves it and is good at it. I love watching him do cool stuff.

GYMNASTICS... and other things

Gavin in Gymnastics class.... with the girls waiting and then playing in the foam pit and on the bars. He really is my little monkey boy.

Easter Eggs...

Grandma and Grandad helped Gavin dye eggs - I helped for a minute, then turned to photographer - the mom's job I guess :)

Stacey Turned 27 - Birthday Party Moments

UrBan EaSteR 2008

Gavin and I met friends Meggan and Ava at the community Egg Hunt - eggs littered on concrete - not what I expected - but it was fun... Meggan was the Awesome photographer of some of these... more to come for sure :) PS, Gavin got 2 FULL baskets worth of eggs - after his Elmo basket got full I stuffed them all into my coat pockets and he got to pick up more... there were still many left on the ground after all the toddlers had full baskets and gave up - no worries - plenty for all!

Zoo pics

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the zoo trip last weekend - the next few posts are a little out of order - he has the shaved head now so the longer hair pictures were taken a few weeks ago. We liked the gorillas (monkeys to Gavin) and the hippo was very cool - walking around and making noises that made Gavin cry and opening his mouth a lot. It was cool. And of course - Gavin likes climbing on the rocks no matter where we are!

Gavin's Game - "Sleeping"

Gavin has been doing this thing for at least a month where he pretends to sleep. I can't believe a 2 year old knows how to pretend things - but he does. Sometimes he'll lay his head to the side and close his eyes and say "Mom, Mom".... so I'll look and say quietly "oh no Gavin is sleeping, shhhhh" and he'll 'wake up' and laugh and giggle - then 'fall asleep' again. It's the funniest thing. He also has been feeding his animals and he diapered the stuffed dog and elmo. hmmmmm

Gavin's Game "Boo"

Behind a blanket, a hat, a wall, or his hands - Gavin likes to hide and say "Boo" when appearing. It's SO funny. If I don't notice he's hidden I'll hear "Mom, Mom" until I look and have to ask "Where's Gavin?" If I see his eyes are covered and ask "Are you hiding?" I'll either here "uh-huh" or see his head nod. It's hard to play while driving but we manage.

Post for Rebecca

Rebecca - my older sister by 14 months - embroidered a pillow for Gavin. I think she did it before he was born. Well I believe in using pillows not just looking at them - so Gavin has it in his crib along with his other toys and pillows and blankets. This picture is not posed. He really is sleeping on the pillow - He likes it a lot. THANKS BECCA!!!

Adventures at the Park

I'm SO glad it is getting a little bit more warm. Gavin is so much fun to take to the park. I don't have to help him do everything or worry about him falling through the cracks anymore. He is a good climber and is pretty careful. He likes to swing still and run around like a crazy boy. One park we go to has this concrete dog. We should probably name it and call it our pet - the closest Gavin will get to a pet dog for a LONG time! haha

Trip to the ZOO

I think he liked the monkeys and the cows the best.
