where did my baby boy go?

this night marked the moment when i first
caught a glimpse of gav as a little boy...
i had to look at the camera 2 times,
maybe 3, after i took this picture.
i thought, who is THIS lil' guy and
where did my baby boy go????

again, wearing mark's shoes....


just a couple of shots of gav hanging with his "babies".
...and, trying to help mack wear mark's shoes...

giving karson a blanket and pillows...
(because he was brrrrr and wanted
to go nigh-night,according to gav.)


"hiding"
gav:"mama, look, look... i hide!"
me: "gavin, where are you? where's gavin? mark, do you see gav?"
mark: "nope, i don't see him anywhere! where is he?"
(ignoring the very front and center little toes...)

priceless. :)

The choo-choo life!

We are all about the choo-choo life...
Whether it's building new tracks,
taking about 25 trains with us wherever we go,
helping the choo-choos go nigh-night,
reading choo-choo books or just
a good ole dvd (over and over)....
YEP. ALot of quality choo-choo time!



Happy Happy Mama!

Gav definitely understands the whole birthday deal now!
The morning of my birthday, he stood in his crib
and said "Happy Happy Mama!"

I loved it, of course! :)

We went to fondue for my birthday... YUM!
Here we thought, cool, this will be fun for him to watch.

Ummmm no. even with all of his cars, motocycles,
coloring books,etc.,of course the non-toddler-appropriate
fondue sticks were much more appealing.



...after fondue....

just a pic of "the gurrrrrrls" from my birthday weekend in SF...

sunny May days....

hanging at the park with Dad...

at the beach over Memorial Weekend

checking out all of the cool critters...

at the Beach Club by our house.

loving these fountains!!!
yummmmm! yogurt!


a new routine....

one of Gav's new fav things to do....
this is how it goes:

run up the driveway,
go through the doggie door,
out the front door,
over to the fence,
touch the fence,
repeat (at least)35 times!

My Mother's Day...

Sighhh.....
What a perfect day for moi!

My boys and I hit the dog beach and
then Mark made a fabulous dinner for us!
To top it off, Gav ate broccoli like it was
chocolate ice cream! woohoo!!!

...chasing the waves...


sliding down his hand-made slides...


like I said, great day for all boys!


ahhh.... just taking it all in!


Perfect.

the Trike!

Grandad Bill gave Gav a very cool tricycle for his birthday....
Gav calls it his HEBBY BIKE. (in Gav-speak: heavy bike)

"helping" Dad assemble the trike...


alright, here we go!!!


getting the hang of it....


woohooo!!!
pedal, pedal, pedal!!
