Then and Now

We keep taking photos of Super G (ode to the Olympics) in his high chair. He doesn't look much different - maybe a bit leaner and a little more hair but now he has 2 teeth!

What's Gavin Up To?

The other day we were trying to figure out what Gavin was saying. He kept saying the same thing over and over again. We finally realized he was saying - tickle, tickle, tickle. Today Joel asked Maria at daycare and she confirmed it - she and the kids all say it to Gavin and he picked it up. Pretty funny. Other things we think he says - dada, mama, dog, ah-ao! We're pretty entertained at how he picks up things we're saying and doing. For better or worse, we taught him to climb the stairs to the second floor - thinking this will tire him out before bed - works sometimes! He's been sleeping through the night - some of the time. Just about every other night recently - up from once every month or two! Don't start! We're headed to the rec center tomorrow - we signed up for swim classes for ages 2 and under. Should be pretty entertaining. He loves the tub so we'll see how he does in a really big tub! "Whitey" will get in the pool with him - I might blind everyone in the place!

The office babies

We had a physician relations get together at the house today. Theresa, Sarah and I were all pregnant at the same time last year! Gavin was born in March, Asher in May and Claire in July. We had a fun visit with the kiddos - now 10 mos, 8 mos and 6 mos and big buddy Linden - 20 mos. We had a fun visit with everyone and ate lots of tasty food!

Finally some crawling video!

Gavin has been crawling for a few weeks now and I finally got a few videos of him doing it! As you'll see he can now get into more stuff! Sturgis likes to swoop in for a kiss here and there.

A ride in the car

Just had to include this one... Mr. G was a happy camper on our way up to Longmont on Sunday to visit with Paul, Heather and new baby Evelyn.

We'll get some new video of Mr. G crawling! He started last week and we haven't been able to sit still since! He has made it from the family room to the kitchen in a few short minutes. Walking doesn't seem to far off. He likes to hold on to our hands and walk. On Sunday, he pulled himself up a few times and let go. He balanced for a few seconds then fell on his Bummi butt! He's learning fast!

My first Stock Show

Each year mom and dad volunteer for Children's at the Wild West Show. I got to go with them this year. I even dressed up in my western style clothes. Mom and dad both wore their Wranglers and big belt buckles. Dad and I got to take a photo with the Rodeo Queens! Yee Haw!!!
