Plenty of Treats

His favorite was candy corn...gross!

Happy Halloween

Gavin was a clown, the cutest clown I ever have seen. It was too cold to Trick-or-treat, but he got plenty of treats from Grandma and Gramps.

Last One

Well, I'm out of recent pictures for a while. I will be heading to my mom and dad's later this week until I have Reily--just in case he'd decide to come a little early. So, I won't be posting any new pictures until we're home with Reily. With any luck, that'll be November 13th! We will keep you posted...

Oh Well...

At least they match. It'll grow back, right???

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

I'm blaming this one on pregnancy hormones. I don't know what I was thinking!

Our Pumpkin

Gavin wasn't really sure what to do amongst all these pumpkins. He just sat and stared for a few minutes. He's such a joy!

For Example...

See previous post...I have several more pictures along these lines. Oh well, I guess he just likes me more : )

Gavin, Daddy, and the Gourd

We tried to get a picture with daddy on the wagon ride, but Gavin wouldn't have it, so this was the best we could do.

Crazy Pumpkin Man

Next year, I'm thinking there's not a small chance that he'll sit there for a picture like this, so we took the opportunity this year. Poor Gavin...

Wagon Ride

Recently, we took Gavin to a local pumpkin patch. It was a really nice day. We all had a great time.

Gavin the Puppy

It's fun when your kids are still young enough to force them into these types of pictures! He can hate us later for it.

Nothing Special

Well, there's really nothing too special about this picture--other than Gavin is the star, of course. We finally bit the bullet and got high speed internet today, though, and I wanted to see how much faster I could post these--it used to take about 10 minutes per picture. Hopefully, this will help me post more regularly.

Maestro

Gavin just loves to play, or bang, on the piano at my mom and dad's house. One of these days we should get a piano for him to bang on at our house...or maybe not.

Odd Kid

I think that Gavin might just be the only toddler who likes having his coat and hat put on him. He also loves to wear shoes. He's one odd kid, but we don't mind!

Off to School

Not really! He was really into wearing this little back pack around the house, though. I was surprised he could keep his balance with it on. Sometimes he seems like such a big boy, other times he still seems like my little baby.

Another Bridge

Here Gavin is playing on a different bridge with his daddy. Chris has an easier time getting down on Gavin's level to play with him than I do right now.

Smile

He was playing "stay away from mommy" in this picture. I'd try to cross the bridge and he'd race the other way. He thought it was really funny.

Action Shot

I don't know if you can tell that he's actually walking in this picture, but I did my best to catch him in action.

Children's Museum

I took Gavin to a Children's Museum recently. He had a really good time walking around and exploring the toddler section. I enjoyed the fact that he kept busy and didn't make a mess in my house that I'd have to clean up later.

He's Walking!

Well, he's been walking for about a week now. The other day, he came walking around the corner with the basket from the dishwasher. He thought it was the greatest thing. It still amazes me when he comes walking in.

Sam

Recently, I visited the family that I nannied for in the Twin Cities while I was in college. Sam was only 5 when I started watching him--he just turned 12! I didn't get any great pictures of Sam and Gavin together, as Gavin just would not cooperate. Sam just loved playing with Gavin, though, and Gavin certainly loved the attention.
