Look close!

 

 

Gavin has two little bottom teeth coming in!!!!

 

We were all cheering for him and he was so confused why he was the center of attention!

 

Happy Days!!!!

 

Mom got to go and help out for Sam's Kindergarten Feast on Friday with all the K classes. 

 

After eating a delicious feast, mom stayed and helped with the fun centers, crafts and activities in the classroom.  A fun afternoon with Sam!

 

 

 

Gavin can't get enough of Sam's Hockey Stick and Gravedigger!

 

 

 On the move!

 

 

A quick joyride in the Country - the kids were excited but said they got cold! 

 

We had a fun Weekend - Sam started Basketball on Saturday which he has the next 5 Saturdays and he absolutely loved.  He has asked more than 10x how many days until next Saturday as he is so exited.  We had a little excitement trying to get to his first day.... as mom was trying to get Gavin out the door, Sam and Ava were playing with the neighbors dog decorative flags in their yard.  Somehow Ava snapped one back and Sam had blood pouring out of his nose and mouth - high drama... somehow we still made it on time!

 



 

And....someone is finally starting to Crawl and it is the sweetest cutest thing!  He still resorts to the army crawl for speed at times, but he is getting the hang of it!

 

Just Chillin with the Wolf Pack!!

Gavin turned 9 months on November 3rd.  We are starting to lose that snuggly baby and are seeing glimpses of a very busy and determined toddler to come! 

 

Gavin is not one to sit still and can't stand to be missing any of the action he knows that his brother and sister are involved in.  He has the army crawl down and can move really fast across our wood floors to get where he wants - often that is the bathroom to play with the door spring or starting to get into cupboards in the kitchen.

 

Gavin is becoming a big boy eater and eating lots of finger foods.  He also is a great sleeper and good napper.  EVERYONE that spends any time with Gavin says he is "the easiest happiest baby ever."

 

Gavin has also found his voice and loves to have shriek wars with the family in the morning - he definitely likes to be heard!  He is also quite the spitter and sometimes feeding him can be a challenge - we call it the "spray zone" (reminiscent of the "splash zone at Sea World")

 

We love our little Gavin to the moon and back!

Mema's visit

 

We had a fun visit with Mema and the kids loved every minute having her here.

 

Reading at night

 

 

Jumptime and dinner at Goodwoods

 

Mema also stayed home with Sam, Gavin and Ava several days  while mom and dad worked - Lots of crafts, games, puzzles, books, and time with Mema.  They love it when Mema is in town!
