Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Halloween

Oh Boy!

We just had our 2nd trimester ultrasound, you know the really fun one where it actually starts to LOOK like a baby, not just a peanut. We got to see our little one kick, stretch and bounce all around (enjoy the room now kid!). And to our excitement and joy we learned that we're going to be having another little boy! How fun for Gavin, as Jeff and I like to say he now has a partner in crime for the rest of his life!

Definately a boy!

Wild Thing Gets A Haircut

After the last embarassing appt. with my hair dresser (still so sorry Kelli!), we decided to take Gavin to one of those kiddie hair cut places. His mop was getting seriously out of control, he looked like he was starting to get a mullet! We showed up early on a Saturday and it turned out we were the first ones there. Gavin was hesitant at first, but soon was surrounded by all the cute hairdressers without clients. One cutting hair, one blowing bubbles to get his attention, one feeding him treats, etc. What a rough life for the little flirt! Hair cut turned out adorable, a short mohawk to finish out the summer!

Gavin Meets Chuck

This is kind of a random post, but I am excited to say that Gavin just got his first pair of Converse shoes and loves them! He runs around the house refusing to take them off, "chuse, mamma pease!" he says. So cute, my little rockstar.

D is for Drums & Dad!

Happy Fathers Day to my hero and best friend, my husband! You are the most amazing father, always able to make our little one laugh. There are so many wonderful things I know you'll teach little dude someday. How to play and see the fun in everything, that there's music in every part of our lives, always get up no matter how many times life knocks you down, how to be a gentleman and someday loving husband and father. I could not ask for a better role model or loving father than you. I am truly blessed that you are the father of my child, I love you very much and can't wait to see what the future holds for our family.

The Amazing Adventures of Buckethead!

We have toys. Okay, so we have lots of toys. We are like any other over-indulgent first time parents when it comes to Gavin. We buy just about anything that promises to make our kid smarter, happier or can entertain him for more than 5 minutes. So we buy EVERYTHING. Give us a break, we're new at this! Our living room, playroom (aka the office) and nursery are filled with all sorts of bright, colorful objects. So what does Gavin like to play with best? (All the experienced parents are shouting at the computer right now...) The stupid bucket the toys get put away in! Our little maniac loves nothing more than to dump all the shiny balls filled with interesting animals, jumbo Legos, gorgeous read & touch books, kid's cellphone and rubber ducks onto the floor to run around the house with the bucket on his head! He laughs hysterically, bumps into walls, falls down, laughs more and than gets back up and does it again! When he tires of the bucket on his head, he sits down on the bucket and babbles on about (we think) how much fun it is to have a bucket on his head. Go figure.
