Snow Angel!


So we had a light dusting of snow last Wednesday night just before Gavin was going to bed. I put his coat on and we headed outside. He was mesmerized by the HUGE snowflakes. He did see snow a couple weeks prior to this but didn't have the opportunity to play in it. He kept sticking his tongue out at the flakes but of course I couldn't manage to ever capture that on camera! Anyway, I hope the weather is warmer wherever you may be reading this. Happy Tuesday!

More!! More!!!


Our little stinker is signing! I have been working on baby sign language for what seems to be forever. This weekend, he finally started doing it!! Although it's only one sign, it makes my heart so proud!! I started crying when he did it.. and again... and again. It's so cute. He typically does it when he's eating and he wants "more" crackers, juice, etc. However, I noticed he was doing it yesterday when Chad was tossing him around. Whenever Chad would stop, Gavin would sign "more". Oh... so cute. I took some video but I will have to wait to post it. I just wanted to share.

Happy Birthday Gavin!!


So it took me a while to get these pictures up. I am not budgeting my time well at all these days. I don't even have my Christmas decorations down yet. Hhmm... it's 70 degrees today. Do you suppose this might be the day to do it?

Gavin's birthday party was a big production! We had lots of family and a few close friends come. Gavin was getting pretty tired by the time the cake was rolled out. He had quite the time playing in the frosting and then by the end of it all, he was just glazed over, covered in blue, white and yellow frosting. It was EVERYWHERE! Including my woodwork, walls and floor. Idiot me popped a balloon that had frosting all over it... you can imagine the rest of the story. My advice to anyone else who is ordering a 1st Birthday cake... go with plain white frosting for the smash cake. Seriously!

For two days, Gavin had bright green poop... how disgusting... I figured out it was all the food coloring from the frosting. You remember the equation, "yellow and blue make green". Now I have the proof.

Gavin has opened lots of presents over the past couple weeks. It's a bummer his birthday and Christmas are so close together. All his toys will be a year old by the time he gets another round. Oh well, I don't think he is too abused or anything. His favorites are the farm toys and his ride on truck. He just loves the farm stuff so much. He always has a ball in one hand and an "Little People" animal in the other.

Well, must go now. Little stinker is making noises. Below are some pictures from that day.

By the way, if you have a blog you would like me to link on my page, email me. I don't want to post someones blog if they haven't given their blessings to it.
