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.

Fun with Dad



Like my new haircut??





Hey guys-Gavin here. You know sometimes I like to drop by and say a word or two, only when I'm serious, now's the time! On Saturday my Daddy decided that I "officially" needed a haircut. I've had a few wings snipped from time to time, but Daddy really did it this time. Unfortunately I wasn't really kosher with the idea and I turned my head and screamed causing this to happen..........I look like the guy from Dumb and Dumber with the sweet bowl hair cut! Now it just means that Mom won this argument and they have to take me to the "Salon", whatever that is?? Some body help me!

Our trip to the pumpkin farm!

Gavin's playtime!







Gavin is having so much fun playing with his new toys and trucks! He plays so hard that he drools all over them! Well I guess that has a lot to do with all the teeth he has coming in at once. He has had his bottom two since he was 6 months old, but now he has 4 coming in on top. Ouch! Poor guy is drooling everywhere. But this is wonderfull because now he's more interested in finger foods. Up until the last week it's been purees and puffs for Gavin. Now he's enjoying big boy foods like chicken, grapes, bananas and rice. He even got to try some mac n cheese. He wasn't too fond of that though!

I can't believe my baby is almost one! This month! Oh no!
