Update on Gavin

Hi everyone, we just wanted to give you an update on how the Moore's have been. After what seems like a million weekend trips or events we are finally settling down. Now we just have to prepare for our big October celebration month. I guess this is what we have to look forward to with children huh? Everything that could happen in our family does in the month of October. G & G Moore celebrate birthdays on the 6th & 13th, then my 30th birthday is on the 22nd, followed by Brian's on the 27th and Gavin's big 1st birthday on the 29th. Oh and I almost forgot Brian and I will be celebrating our 3rd anniversary on the 15th. Yes busy busy for us!

Gavin has been a trooper lately. He is FINALLY getting his top teeth, the only problem is he seems to be getting them all at once. So he's been a little cranky lately! He is crawling so fast all over the house and loves to chase after Stella because she is more his size. She loves it because Penelope won't play with her like that. His favorite thing to do is to secretively crawl to the cat food bowl and sneak a piece of cat food in his mouth. Once he knows that we caught him he crawls under the kitchen table to hide and laughs. Sneaky little boy! He also loves to push his trucks all over the family room floor. Yesterday he said Mom and Mama over and over again while pointing at me! He's been saying it for a while now, but never has pointed to me! I can't believe that he's going to be one year old a month from today!! Where did my little boy go?

That's all for now, I can't believe it's already almost October!!

Meet our new addition!

Well she doesn't take the place of Percy but she does help with the pain of missing her! This is our new baby girl kitten who has yet to be named! She is about 5 weeks old and soooo much fun to have around the house! She runs across the floor and slides around. Her favorite toy is playing in a shopping bag and all of Gavins toys. Of course Gavin thinks it's the coolest thing to finally have a kitty smaller than he is to pick up! We are teaching him about the words "gentle" and "no" which he already thinks it's cool to shake his head when the word is said! Penelope is adjusting much better than we thought too! We still miss our Percer kitty so much though!!

Gavin is already driving!

Mommys little Lion!! Rrrrrr.....

Gavin got a Halloween costume yesterday, but unfortunatly I don't think it will fit in two months! But he sure did have fun playing in it!

Good bye Percy:(

Well I can't even believe that I'm sitting here writing this, but on Friday we had to make the diffult decision to put our oldest cat Percy down. She was very sick with her kidneys and kidney stones. Over the past year and half she has suffered and more recently had lost a drastic amount of weight. She was only 6 years old. I got Percy from a shelter in Columbus, Oh. when she was just 6 weeks old. She was the only one of all her brothers and sisters that actually came back and put her paws up on the cage as I put her down. Once I saw that I knew Percy was the one to adopt. We had a few good years together and she was always the mean kitty until Brian came into our lives. After that she was Brian's girl and calmed down quite a bit, especially after we adopted her sister Penelope. She and Penelope got along great and would always have fun chirping at the birds in the window sill and play fighting. This is one of the hardest things we've ever gone through. Luckily my parents happened to be in town this past weekend to help lighten our mood! We are going to get another kitty in a couple weeks to fill the void in our house and give Penelope a friend to play with. We will miss you Percy!!
