We went on a couple hikes while there and got to play with all of Gavins toys! I put the picture of of him supporting the Bengals! That one is for you PePaw! He talked to himself and entertained us the whole hike! He even kept the birds entertained! He is crawling everywhere and finding his new freedom! Now that we are home he is sitting next to me on the floor chasing Penelope. She is officially terrified!

4 Days in Tahoe and I'm pooped!!

Gavin got hit first official swing ride! We had so much fun in Tahoe this weekend that we are going back again next month! Gavin had such a good time once we got out of the car and into the cabin because he's crawling now!! Crazy, scary and happy! He sometimes forgets that he can crawl but quickly remember soon when he sees Mom or Dad walk out of the room, then he comes chasing!

Look Out Kitties, Gavin is Almost Crawling!

Well the time has come for our big boy to start crawling! He took a few "knee" steps last night for Mom & Dad! He's been on all fours for a while now and up on his arms but his darn foot gets in the way from him taking off. But last night he showed major success towards crawling. To be honest I'm not pushing it, cause once it does happen the cats are going to hate us for bringing this stranger home! Penelope is already terrified of him. He looks out all the time for the girls and when he does see them he screams and shakes his arms like crazy! What a cutie.

He is teething like crazy! He still only has his bottom two teeth and we are expecting a top one any day now. Hopefully sooner than later because it's killing him and us! He is very cranky and doesn't want to sleep. We had to lower his crib already because when we lay him down all he wants to do it sit up and play! So therfore, no sleep for Mommy and Daddy! Poor guy:(

Eating is going well these days. I'm still making all his food organic. It's just hard to find good organic produce here without driving all over town! He has had squash, both sweet potato and white potato, green beans, avocado, carrots, corn, peas, raspberries, strawberries, apricot, chicken, beef and we're about to mix some brown rice into his chicken. The list goes on and on! We are still on the soy formula :( but it's going well. We'll wait and see what the doctor says next month about trying dairy yogurt or if we have to do the soy yogurt. He has a major problem with any foods with texture so self feeding isnt going as well as I'd hoped! We tried giving him the puffs but he gags way too much on them or just likes to throw them on the floor! He does however like the teething crackers. It looks like we will be feeding him purees for a while! Which is fine by me because I love it!

On the 4th of July we went to our very first parade! You can tell by the look on Gavin's face in the pic that it was anything but exciting but we still made it fun! Then we had some friends over and had our own small firework display!

This weekend we are going to Tahoe again for a few days with Grandma & Grandpa Moore & Uncle Patrick! I can't wait to get away for a few days and relax. We are renting a house and plan on going to the beach and taking some walks. Then we get ready for our trip to Chicago soon!! Our great friends Jena and Chad are getting married and we are so excited for them to meet Gavin and see them on their big day! There is so much you have to plan and pack when traveling across the country with a little one! We are prepared this time with new toys & a DVD player with a new Baby Einstein video for the flight and a new stroller.

That's about it for now, we'll post some more pics after this weekend of our trip to Tahoe!
