san francisco, round 2!

we ventured up to san francisco last weekend to visit erika, lucie, kendra, jim and supercross! as it turns out, the weather was cold and rainy. gav and i had a blast hanging out with erika, kendra and jim, while mark was solo at supercross in the soggy city.

well, 9 months is here now! it's so amazing how quickly this has come! i KNOW that my pregnancy didn't go this fast!!! gav is 20.4 lbs and 28" long. he's starting to experiment with new sounds, foods, toys and moves! gav is in love with the doggies, balls, hanging upside down and playing with our noses... heehee! so funny!

growing tired of "mom-arazi"! i swear he was about to just get up and walk away from the chair!


buddies, gav and karson...


hanging out with big mack!


oh, he tickles!

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. :))

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