"Talking Away"

So today Gavin was on a roll talking and talking and talking.  I have no clue what he is trying to say but I love it. 

"Swinging Away"

So I took Gavin to a birthday party at a place called My Gym and it was so much fun.  They put him in this swing with Cam-Cam and he laughed the whole time.  So of course mama had to go buy him a swing for the backyard.  He loves it.......and is now beginning to not want to get out hahaha.  I love seeing this beautiful smile on his face.  Love you little buggy!!!



"Grandma Fay"

So a few days ago we got the best call ever from my Grandma....she is CANCER FREE!!!  I started crying with so much excitement.  It has been a long road for her these past 5 years.  Her dedication to chemo treatments 3 weeks a month really paid off.  I know she is so tired and I know she wanted to give up so many times but I have to thank the lord above for answering all of our prayers.  Grandma you are one of the biggest parts of my life and I don't know what I would have done without you.  I love you sooooo much.  Now let's get that immune system up and running so we can get you down here.  Love you with all of my heart Grandma Fay.

Gavin and Grandma the biggest parts of my life!!!

"Mama"

It is official woohooo...Gavin said his first word and it was "MAMA"!!!  Yah I guess shoving it down his throat paid off hahaha.  I didn't know if I should cry cause he said it or if I should cry cause he is getting to big to fast.  I have to say I cried for both.  Love you soooooo much little buggy.

Him saying Mama in his jumper for about an hour.....



Gavin's 6th Month Photos

I want to start off by thanking my bestest friend Mandi for taking such beautiful pictures of Gavin.  She has been there every milestone Gavin has achieved and I am so very thankful to have her in my life, and also in Gavin's life.  Today was so much fun....I packed a few toys and a few outfits and headed off to Auntie Mandi's for another photo session.  I really think Gavin hates us by now but he has no clue this is gonna happen till he gets married...hahaha.

So we got to Mandi's and did our first outfit change and got him into this cute yellow button up and the work boots to match.....I almost ditched the shoes cause Gavin curles his toes so we couldn't get them on but we did...

He looks sooooo big here...

Then we tried to sit him on this really cute Pirate Ship playset by her apt., it was darling but he almost took a face plant...not sure if he is ready yet for this big boy toy...

Sooo cute sitting up like a big boy....

Here is another picture of those cute little work boots that he is trying to chew off...

Then we let him stand on the bench and of course he loved it.....

After this outfit we changed over to the really cute sweater with the fohawk on it...we tried to do shoes on this one as well but you know by now my kid hates shoes...so we got him curling his feet as always...

So for Christmas Grandpa Rick gave Gavin a really cute black and chrome walker car and we had to use it for the photoshoot..and of course add the beanie to make him a little tougher...

He is pretty much saying get out of my way....

After all of our wardrobe changes and pictures we had to get Gavin on his firetruck that Auntie Mandi bought him for Christmas...and of course a matching hat...

Thank you again Mandi for the wonderful memories you have created for our family.  We love you so much and we can't wait for Gavin's 9 month pictures.  I am pretty sure he can wait but momma is already planning it.!!!



**Merry 1st Christmas to my little baby boy Gavin**

I had the best Christmas ever this year.  Not only did I celebrate with my wonderful family, I also got to celebrate my baby boy's 1st Christmas.  Even though we thought he was still young and would not have too much fun.....well he showed us.  He was ripping the paper off and eating all the bows, and wanted to play with each and every toy infront of him.  It was so much fun to watch him.

What did Santa Bring.....

Look at all my toys...YAH!!!

So cool lets ride...

Checking his mirrors...

Gimme...gimme...gimme....

My workbench...

I can't wait for next Christmas when he is a little older he is gonna be running around ripping everything open,  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas....I know I did.  I am so blessed to have wonderful  family and friends to spend time with during this holiday season, and I am truly blessed to have my baby boy to share it with.  Love you Gavin I hope you had the best 1st Christmas Ever...Love you soooooo much little buggy!!!

**Christmas Pictures**

So I looked at the calendar yesterday and totally freaked out cause it is already December and I haven't even taken pictures of Gavin for our Christmas cards.  I am usually on top of getting them out early....but ooops not this time.  So Adam and I ran to target bought a bunch of decorations for the picture and didn't even use them in the final picture hahaha.  So hopefully you all like the final product when they are sent out, but I will share a few with you now.

Not so Happy in this one...

I love my tummy time...

Peek-a-boo...I see you...
