Summer Catch up

Okay so its been forever since I've posted so now I'm playing catch up. Here's what's been going on over the past 2 months.

Gavin loves the hose. He's been watering the lawn a lot lately, well...one spot at a time. It usually puddles up and then I have to move it to a different place.

Gavin pointing to his belly button. He's really good at pointing to a lot of his different, beautiful, features. His most recent is Chin.
Watching some football. Matt took off to the gym and left the game on, so Gavin just picked up where he left off. He even says "Foobaaall." He's so smart. :)


Boating. We went Wake boarding a couple of weeks back. Gavin is so calm and mellow on the boat. It's the funniest thing. Now, if we could only get him to sit that still in church we'd be golden.



Already taking over. Hmmm, would I trust him to pull me? Probably not. Sorry buddy!

Officially taking over the driver seat. Where are the adults here?!

Over the past few months we've got some really nice comments on how well Gavin's head has rounded out since our difficult issue earlier on. Here, you can see it's still not where it should be, but its perfect to us!

Look at this face. Some of my favorite moments are in the morning when he wakes up and we just cuddle downstairs watching Curious George. After that 30 minutes, I get him breakfast, and then and onlythen, he's ready to take on the day. Look at that cute face! I love him so much.

Annnnnd, here's the real Gavin, he sleeps like this all the time. I go in the check on him every night, and each night I climb into bed laughing and Matt will ask, "What's our little Rump-rump look like tonight?" He is the funniest sleeper. Whatever gets him through the night. :)

Getting ready for church. He noticed him and daddy had similar shoes, so he walked right up to Matt, who was brushing his teeth, and just stood there next to him. Like father, like son.

Showing off his handsomeness before church. His hair has got some much lighter this summer. I remember when it was dark, dark brown.

We finally bought Matt a new car. We were really looking into a truck, but after some prayer, communication, and sacrifice we, or I should say he, decided on a car. It was a better fit he said for our family, and he's always looking out for us first. He is such a great guy, always willing to do the right thing financially. Even when all our friends have trucks, he buckles down and wants to do whats best for our family, sacrificing his wants. Im so, so, so, so, happy I have a husband who isn't "man-toy" crazy.

Here it is, just a little thing. Volvo s40 with only 40,000 miles on it. Such a good deal and in the top 3 safest cars on the road. So we bought it straight up. Plus, it gets 36-miles to the gallon on the free way! Did I mention words cannot expres how happy I am that Matt makes smart, mature, husband decisions for our family. Amazing man!

I took this picture because Gavin was lying on the floor just talking to himself. He was making me laugh cause he would say words I knew like, "Ball, foot, shoe, nummy, juice, ear, dog, hat"...then a ton of words that make no sense. I love being home with him. He always brings a smile to my face.

Look at that Face! Gavin LOVES the Volvo. He always runs to it and climbs in the passenger seat. Matt's taken him around our little cul-de-sac loop a couple of times and he just beams!

I asked Gavin to smile with his teeth and this is what I got. He's getting some new ones this week and its been rough, but overall he has been such a trooper.

Weird picture to end on buuuuutt, it fits our life. Every moment I cherish, even the funny weird ones.

The summer has gone by so fast, but we're really looking forward to the next 6 months. Vacation for our 7 year anniversary, Matt's 30th birthday, Halloween with Gavin, Thanksgiving with hopefully my whole family, Christmas, followed by Gavin's 2nd birthday in February with a trip to see Matt's family for Margaret's wedding!!! I can't wait for them to see Gavin. He is such a little man and he's grown tons since they've seen him last. I'm really excited. We can't wait! Hopefully I'll be better and keeping this updated. Until then......
