Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone! Merry Christmas! This holiday was so much fun for all of us and it's only going to get better. Brian, Gavin and I leave tomorrow morning for Ohio. Santa came and brought some good gifts. Gavin got tons of toys and clothes, but the biggest gift was a play kitchen set! Boy I'm pretty sure that Gavin won't play with anything as much as he does his kitchen.

More to come later.....Have a great holiday!!

Love,
The Moore's

Fun at the park and Christmas shopping!

Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone! Well our lives have been a little hectic and crazy this month but we want to update you on a few things. Gavin has been having a few issues with being sick. The doctor determined that he has acid reflux. For the last week and a half he has been refusing bottles and eating a lot. When he does eat he usually throws it all up. So we have medicine to put in his water so hopefully that will work.

This week Gavin gets to see Santa 3 times! On Thursday Santa is going to ride down our street in his sleigh! We can't wait to sit outside and watch him as we get ready for the "real visit" on Christmas Eve! Then on Saturday and Sunday he is going to make an appearance at some friends houses where we can take pictures with him personally. That way we don't have to stand in line at the mall and hope that he doesn't scream when he sees him. Although we did go to the mall last week and he saw Santa and was so excited to see him! He acted like he's known him his whole life! Pointing and saying what seemed to be "Santa" but who knows!


We are gearing up for our visit to Ohio for Christmas. We'll be gone for a week and I'm pretty sure my dad has called me every day with an update on how much longer we have until he sees us! Hopefully we'll see lots of snow!

Here are some pictures of Gavin helping with putting up the Christmas tree. He had lots of fun taking all the boxes of lights and ornaments and putting them in and out of the storage box. He also loves to watch Stella climb in and out of the tree!

Keeping up with Gavin

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been forever since you've had a good post. We're finally recovering from the whole month of Octobers' important days. I think it's pretty safe to say that they next child that comes into our world won't be born in October because we can't afford another birthday then!

Gavin is adjusting to being one now and along with that comes another doctors visit. We have a few shots that were not very fun. After a visit to the scale the doctor was concerned with his weight. Gavin weighs 19 lbs even and is almost 31 inches long. Tall and lean! He is only in the 5th percentile in his weight and 74% in his height. So he ordered some blood work to see if maybe he has some food allergies such as wheat. He is also going to check for a cow's milk allergy so we can rule out if he still needs to be on soy milk. So after the grueling shots we had to truck upstairs to get some blood drawn. OUCH!! Gavin did really good but was terrified and cried like crazy! Poor guy. So hopefully we'll find out soon why our guy is so skinny or if he's just naturally lucky!

In the meantime Gavin is just going to play with his fun toys and practice walking. I would love for him to be walking by the time we go home to Ohio for Christmas but I am doubtful. Maybe it will happen when we are home for his cousins, aunt & uncle and grandparetens to see! He just really doesn't have much of an interest!

I wish my camera wasn't broken!

Well since my camera is broken and everyone is asking for more posts, I thought I would write a note even without any new photos. We're working on the camera as it is in the shop being fixed.

Gavin is such a great little guy! Life is so much fun with him! He is growing up right before our eyes. He loves to play with all the fun toys that he got for his birthday including his big red wagon. We could go in the wagon everyday and he would be the happiest boy in America! Just tonight we had some friends over for dinner and he had so much fun sitting in his wagon and watching us playing Buckeye corn-hole.

Today Gavin got his first hair cut! He was in such a need for a hair cut other than the one from Daddy. We went to Jack N Jilly Beans and they did a great job! He got to sit in a red fire truck while watching Baby Eienstein and playing with a toy cell phone. How perfect for him:) He actually did MUCH better than we thought! We actually think he enjoyed it. He looks so cute too! What a great looking boy.

Soon we'll get our camera back and running and we'll be able to post more pictures.

More pics of the birthday boy

Well we survived the first year!

I still can't believe it but our baby is one today:) It seems just like yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital. Since we brought him home on Halloween Day last year I remember thinking how no one would come trick or treating at our house because we had 2 storks in the yard and they probably wouldn't want to bother us. I was wrong! They still came and our little baby boy just slept in his brand new swing and slept right through his first Halloween! And now we are here celebrating his first birhday and his 2nd Halloween.

Today Gavin got to celebrate the his birthday with G & G Moore at Bishop's Pumpking farm again. He played with the cows, piggies and even got to go on a train ride! He had so much fun riding in his new red wagon around the farm. He even wore the hat that school made for him that says "I'm One". Then when I picked him up we went to the store and got some balloons to play with and went home to play with all his new birthday toys. After dinner we gave him this birthday cake and watched him play with the icing. He had so much fun! What a day!

Guess what?? I'm ONE!!!!!

Hey all, Gavin here! Well tomorrow is my birthday and I couldn't be happier! I am such a big boy now. In fact I even said some big words today. My mommy was talking to me this morning while getting me dressed for school and she told me that I'm a big boy now that I'm almost one. Well I decided to really show her by repeating what she said! It was clear as day and I even was impressed myself! She of course started screaming at daddy and then crying. She seems to be doing that a lot today. I just keep hearing her say, "I can't believe my baby is one" and then she said something about how could it be possible that a year ago I was only 6 lbs! I don't really understand how that's possible either so I'm gonna guess that it's not true! I also now say "Stella" which is my new kittens name. It's my 2nd favorite thing to say, of course ba, ba, ba, ba, ba is my favorite!

On Saturday my mommy an daddy invited all my friends over to celebrate my birthday! There were soooo many people here that I got scared and pretty much spent the whole party outside hanging with Mimi and Papaw and G & G Moore! It's pretty overwhelming! There I go again with big words! At one point in the party mommy put me in my "special chair" and wheeled me into the family room where all my friends and family started screaming those happy birthday words to me again. Then mommy made me stick my hands in this gooey, bright colored thing they call "the cake". I'm still not sure about it but daddy did give me a bite again tonight and it tasted pretty good. And oh the gifts! All my friends and family got me the coolest toys! I am the luckiest boy in the world!

Well I can't wait to fill you all in on the next year of my life! Time to go to bed now! Peace out! My uncle Greg taught me that, not sure what it means but he told me to say it.
