More Gavin... (I just can't help myself!)

 Playing dress up with the girls I babysit.

Gavin loves bath time.

Look at his cute little pot-belly!

Gavin with hair - sort of...

Fall Family Photos

My cousin, Nanette, is amazing behind the camera.  She took our first ever family photos.  Love 'em.  Thanks, Nanny-Poo!!!  We love you!

And I quote Matt: "This is the hippest thing we've done since we were married!"

Swing Kid

Now that I'm babysitting, we go to the playground every day.  Gavin loves to watch the other kids play and he's big enough now to sit in the baby swing - which he also loves.

Yummy to My Tummy!

He did it!   On September 1st, Gavin ate his first semi-solids.

We had tried a couple weeks ago, but he wasn't quite ready and hadn't mastered swallowing.  I had noticed him reaching more for my food so I gave him a little piece of banana bread to which he gladly ate and then swallowed.  Next came the rice cereal and then the oatmeal.  Yep.  He can officially down it now!

 Here he is drumming his fingers on the highchair waiting for his next bite.

 "What is this stuff Mommy's puting into my mouth?"

 "Whatever it is - I LIKE it!"

"Clean me up!"

The Babysitters

Matt and I hired 2 cute girls to babysit Gavin while we attended a temple session.  We REALLY enjoyed a reprieve from the duties of parenthood and can't wait for when the babysitters can come over again.  :)
