Our trip to Seattle - part 1!

We took a trip out to Seattle last week. The flight was around lunch time so we needed a quick bite to eat! Lucky us, the airport has a McDonalds! We exposed Gavin to his first taste of the good stuff. He ate a chicken nugget, french fries and tested out my orange drink! Don't get used to it kid!

We stayed with Joel's brother and wife (Neil, Rebekah and cousin Landyn). Gavin especially liked their cats - meow meow's, as he called them while chasing them around the house. Landyn and Gavin had fun playing and running around together - it was fun to see them interact.

My first haircut!

Joel was at CTRC volunteering and Gavin and I had to run a few errands. Just so happened that "Cheap" Clips was on our way! We decided to stop in to see if anyone could give an 18 month old a 2 second haircut. The gal said sure! Mommy forgot her camera but Gavin did great! He got to sit in the big chair with a booster, didn't want the smock but was content to hold his own comb! He got a quick spritz with water, comb thru and off it came! 10 minutes later my baby looked like a little boy - what would daddy think! It was, of course, the first thing he noticed when he walked in the door! I think it took us about a week to get used to G's new doo! He is a little boy now! (We only had her trim the back and sides, now the top looks really short!)

Raking the yard!

We thought we'd teach G early how to help in the yard. He is a quick study - check him out!

Step 1: Watch daddy.

Step 2: Try it for myself.
Step 3: Delegate and supervise!

Cast Off - Take 1!

We went to North Campus to get Gavin's cast off and check on his progress. The tech sawed the cast off while daddy held G - a little too noisy for the little guy (mommy of course took photos!)! Then it was time for an x-ray and we quickly washed his stinky foot. Good thing, the PA decided his leg wasn't healed enough and put on a new, shorter cast. We went camo print this time - below the knee so he has a little more flexibility and movement. This cast would only be on for two weeks - just long enough to show it off in Seattle!

My first baseball game!

We got some free tix to the Rockies game (one of their last of the season) in late Sept. Second row from the top, up first baseline. Pretty good seats actually! Gavin really enjoyed himself people watching, clapping and jumping up and down with the crowd. It was fun to watch the game with him! We left at about 8 and walked down the street where they were having Octoberfest - Gavin heard music and had to stop to listen and dance with daddy! If you haven't noticed, we're pretty entertained by this kiddo! Oh yeah, Rocks won in extra innings but didn't make it out of September this season. Guess we'll have to root for the Phils!

A few more shots from September!

Just a few more! Gavin and his buddy Liam hung out together when Maria took some vacation days. The boys hung out at the house, went the the library (where Gavin ate Crayons!) and played at the park!

Visit to the Butterfly Pavilion

We visited the Butterfly Pavilion in September with Grandma Joyce and Uncle David. Photos are compliments of Uncle David! Gavin was showing off his fancy cast and long hair!
