happy holidays!!!

gav's 1st christmas!!! it was a blast! between the wrapping and tissue paper, his train, ernie, the rocking dog and meeting lucie, gav was one smiley guy!

hanging out with his pals: johan, avi and kian.


experimenting with some mashed potatoes.... our poor waitress!


so many holiday parties!


he loved his train!!!


giddy-up!



gav loved lucie, erika's new puppy. but don't worry, karson and mack still get his undivided attention! (he's learning that he is very popular when he sits in the high chair. :))

happy 8 months!

8 months is here! it's more and more fun everyday! right now gav is busy grabbing at everything in sight, feeding himself his bottles, petting the doggies and bouncing, jumping and bouncing!!! it seems like as he gets more independent,it's getting easier, but craziness is around the corner for sure! :)



1st visit to Chuck E. Cheese! oh boy... good times ahead!! ! celebrating cousin anna's 4th birthday with aunt jennifer and cousin evan....




showing off his cool reindeer socks....

what a weekend!

it was action-packed for sure! we started out at home and then headed down to san diego for the race-for-the-cure. we had tons of fun!


started out with the traditional saturday morning snuggle!

go OU! cheered for the Sooners in our hotel room in san diego... had to wear his shirt! (fyi, the only 2 times that gav didn't wear the shirt, they lost!)

gav loved the course... and loved people-watching and making friends!

silly flu. won't leave gav alone. he just hung out and enjoyed lotsa r&r yesterday...

turkey-time!

well, we've all had the stomach flu! as you can imagine, no fun at all!!!! gav and mark were the true troopers! (only about 12-24 hous of down time for them.) we're finally on the mend now... here are a couple of gav's favorite times during this past week....


gav being a happy sickie!




thanksgiving morning.... at the park with the boys. he couldn't decided if he like watching the dogs chase the ball or playing with the grass....


just woke up from a long nap and on our way to aunt nancy's for turkey-dinner!


hmmm... still a bit under the weather.... or maybe it's that he's on the pedialyte diet while everyone else is eating turkey!


shopping after the holiday in his OU gear... (helping grandpa bill out a bit!)

happy 7 months!!!

7 months is super fun! for gav, life is all about hi-5's, sitting up solo, new noises with his lips... (kinda like he's chewing, but all gums!) his all-time favorite sport right now is bouncing, jumping, bouncing, jumping and more bouncing! good times!


gimme 5! (about 20 times in a row!)
