On the Move

Well, Gavin has a new found mobility.....his walker! With his walker he is loving opening all the cupboard doors in the kitchen, trying to open the garbage can (yuk), and chasing the cats around the house. Oh, boy we can't wait until he starts walking for "real" LOL

A Nice Sunny Day

Finally, after all the rain we have been getting we got a nice sunny day to enjoy outside! However, Gavin and I were not the only ones enjoying the nice day!

Say Cheese!

I just LOVE this little face and this sweet little boy! He always gives me the biggest smiles in his highchair....someone must really like to eat!

I'm so blessed to be his mother! 

Sweet Baby Brynlee!

Last week Gavin and I headed down to Arkansas to visit my good friend Jessi who just had a baby girl named Brynlee on May 10th. She was SO SWEET and so tiny....she was only 6 lbs. 1 oz. Gavin was NEVER that small, plus her head was normal sized and his was HUGE (still is)! Anyways, we stopped in Joplin on the way to visit my friend Nicole and her kids Addalyn and Aaden. They came with us to visit Jessi and Brynlee. So, Gavin and Addalyn are only 4 1/2 months apart and so cute together. We caught them holding hands in the back seat together on the way to visit Jessi and Brynlee....it was so precious! (the picture is not the best quality, but you get the idea)

Sweet baby Brynlee....she was only 6 days old!

The three kiddos!

 Gavin was the only boy, and we thought he might have felt out of place. So, we wanted him to fit in and see just how cute of a "girl" he would be! LOL He was not a fan of the bow! 

The last night we were there, we decided to throw all the kids together for a fun bath night! 

Happy Mother's Day

Today, I'm so thankful for my sweet little boy Gavin! He has given me the best gift ever....the gift of being a mother! The day Gavin was born I finally realized how much my mother loved me! The moment I held him in my arms for the first time is when I understood her love for me!  She has shown me what it means to be a mom and how to love unconditionally. Happy Mother's Day Gigi....we love you!

Becoming a mother is one of the best moments in my life! I look at Gavin everyday and thank God he was given to us. This is my first mothers day and I'm spending the day celebrating the happiness that this little guy brings to my life. I love you Gavin Bo and I am so blessed to be your mother! 

Briggs and Gavin!

Last week we made a trip up to Des Moines to visit my friend Megan and her son Briggs. Briggs is 18 months and is as cute as can be! Gavin loved watching Briggs and I think Briggs got a big kick out of Gavin too. The weather was not as nice as we had hoped, but we did take the boys for stroller rides at the mall and for donuts at "Dunkin Donuts"

The two boys were so cute one morning all snuggled up together on the couch before nap time....who could resist these two little munchkins! I could just kiss them all day!!

Spring has Sprung!

WE LOVE WARM WEATHER!!! Finally, it feels like spring is here. I have been looking forward to spring and summer now that Gavin is older....there are so many fun things to do outside and he loves being outside (like most kids). We have been trying to take daily stroller rides and trips to park when we can. We hope all of you are enjoying the warm weather as much as we are.
