Daddy and Gavin at the playground

We've been having beautiful weather in the upper 60's and 70's so we decided to take Gavin to the base playground and let him run around a bit. Here are the pictures!

Gavin leading the way to the playground.




The twirly slide didn't work out so well.



Gavin loved the slide. Weeeeeee!


He loved it so much he kept trying to climb back up on his own.


Gavin taking a much needed nap after a long day at the park.

And just because I'm always the picture taker, here's a picture of me and Gavin.

Christmas!

Brett, Gavin, and I opened our presents on Christmas Eve before heading to Grams. I'll admit, we only bought a book for Gavin. I've been buying him things throughout the month but at this age, he still doesn't know the difference between Christmas and any other day so we opted out of wrapping most of his gifts and are saving up our energy (and money!) for next year.

Our tree on Christmas Eve. All but one of those gifts is for Gavin.

Here's Gavin opening his gift from his best friend Ryan.


Thanks Ryan!

Opening gifts from my parents


But Gavin was more interested in playing with the boxes.


How cute is this?! My parents sent this Columbia coat but it's so thick that Gavin couldn't put his arms down. Hahahahaha!


Daddy reading one of Gavin's many books he got for Christmas.


Gavin playing with bath toys. Well, we're guessing that they are either bath toys or chew toys for Moose. Either way, Gavin carried them around all day, so they're his now. He loves to stick them in his mouth so I'm hoping they weren't made in China!

We went to Gram's house in Savannah for Christmas this year. With Brett living out of the country for so long, neither he nor his mom could remember when the last time they spent Christmas together was so it was nice for all of us to be together. Brett and I even got to take a mini-date and went to watch "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". What a great movie but be warned, it's 3 hours long. Brett and I were late coming back to the house for Christmas dinner!

Here is Gavin wreaking havoc while we wait for Gram and Gramps to wake up. Gavin wasn't allowed downstairs until they were awake ...




I love this picture of Gavin. Brett thinks he looks like a girl but I think he looks so angelic!


We got tired of waiting so Brett sent Gavin into Gram and Gramps room to wake them up. Here he is walking down the hallway that leads to their bedroom.


Opening up gifts ...





This picture is so cute. Gavin and Gramps sitting in their chairs ...


Gavin loves to climb stairs and Grams place has plenty of them. He's really good at climbing them but hasn't mastered coming back down. Until then, he's not allowed on the stairs at Grams!

Newest Jet Photos!

We took these a couple of weeks ago when I was 8 months pregnant. Yes, it's December and we don't need coats. I actually miss the cold. It doesn't feel like Christmas!

Question for moms of more than one child ... what do I do with all of these pictures without the new baby?! I want to put it up in the house but will feel guilty having pictures without our new addition! What to do ... what to do.

Latest Gavin pictures ...

Gavin sleeping. He loves that teddy bear!



He was so tired but missed his lunch. I wanted him to eat but he gave me this face instead.


What a little cutie. I always catch him sitting by the fireplace, looking at the Christmas tree.



Here's Gavin watching Blue's Clues.


Gavin's first time meeting Santa (last year Daddy played Santa). He didn't cry until we took him away. Later he even walked up to him and gave him a rubberband. So sweet!




Playing around the house ...

Gavin and Moose.

Gavin's latest "trick". He climbs onto the kitchen table!!!

Gavin's newest bib. I love it. It covers his arms and everything so I have less mess to clean up afterwards! Here he is eating spaghetti. He later ditched the bowl and spoon.
