Today, love was Gavin. We threw a little birthday bash for him. We kept it small, since it was at our house, but it was perfect. We did miss a lot of our friends though, and my brother and his fiance who couldn't make it.
What is Gavin up to these days? I love seeing his personality bloom. He's such a goofy little boy. He loves it when you "chase" him. I use that world lightly since he's pretty easy to catch, but he likes you to give him a head start. He also loves hats. It's ridiculously cute. The other day he walked to his diaper bag, took out his baseball cap and tried endlessly to put it on his head (without success). I helped him get it on and he proudly sported it around for the next hour.
He's still a full time job and into everything. He's also fairly predictable and we know his trigger spots (the dog bowl). Speaking of which, he had his first kibble of dog food this weekend. Proud parent moment-ugh. It was bound to happen sooner or later I guess?
He has somehow become taller and leaner overnight. I knew that when he started walking, he'd slim down, but it seems to have happened all at once. He's almost completely out of size 12 month clothes, and all in size 18 month. Our little sprout!

He sure didn't get his love of books from mom!
Gavin's heart is mainly taken up by love for these two!
Thanks Auntie Heidi and Uncle Jake!

Caterpillar cupcake train
In an effort to be a "normal" parent, I let him have a cup cake. Life will go on, but I still cringed a little while he ate it. And i'm sure to spite me, he polished off the entire thing. Thanks Gav...
"Umm...where is mine?"
Yes, this happened...
Books books books.
It's about 8pm now and Mark is reading singing Gavin his bed time book.
