Toy Box Troubles

Gavin's toy box that Pop made him has been in our room since we got it. Two weeks ago, I decided it needed to be moved after finding Gavin climbing on it to get to the alarm remote. So, we moved it into his room. The very next night, Gavin was dancing around in his footed pajamas right before bed & tripped on his alligator. He went face forward into the edge of the wooded box!! After a quick exam & lots of screaming & crying, David put a steri-strip on Gavin's nose & warned me he may wake up with two black eyes that were swollen shut. Thank goodness we didn't have the swollen shut part, but the black eye came soon enough. We are just thankful it wasn't the corner of the toy box.

Funny Stories

After asking where his computer was, I told Gavin it was up in his room. He wanted me to come with him to look for it, but I wanted to see if he could do it on his own. After a few minutes upstairs, he came to the top of the staircase to yell down at me..."I can't find it!!!" Of course, I laughed & went upstairs to help him find it. :)

While watching Monsters, Inc. this morning, the movie came to the part when the little girl goes to bed. Gavin looked at me & said, "Sweet Dreams little girl." So sweet!!!!

13 Week Sonogram Pictures

Just getting around to scanning & posting these sonogram pictures. To me, the baby really looks like Gavin!

20 Weeks

I am now 20 weeks pregnant (as of Jan. 19th) & the baby is weighing 13 ounces. It is kicking like crazy, which we got to witness at our last sonogram. I am now starting to get nervous about getting the baby's room done before the baby gets here. We are selling our house soon & if we don't find a home to move into, we will be putting everything in storage & living in an apartment. Yuck! Pray that doesn't happen. I really hope to be in a home & able to start decorating the baby's nursery.

Telling the Family

After many attempts, I finally got Gavin to pose with these posters we made together. I think I used candy! I sent text messages to our parents to let them know we were going to have another baby. Gavin doesn't look too happy in this last pic, but he really is excited. He kisses my belly and says hello to the baby often. It is so sweet.

17 Weeks

For those of you that don't know, I am pregnant!!

We are not finding out the sex of the baby this time, so decorating is a little more challenging. I have chosen French Antique. Here is my inspiration.

I am seventeen weeks in this photo. My due date is June 7th, but I will have a c-section on June 1st if all goes well.

Pop & Nana came to visit us on Tuesday. Of course, Gavin & Pop spent some quality time watching Monsters, Inc. Gotta love that Pop loves cartoons as much as Gavin. :)

Gavin & Clare hit the road on their new bikes.

Time to switch. Gavin wanted to ride Clare's bike (which he called "Clare's motorcycle), & Clare wanted Gavin's bike & helmet. Silly kids. :)

This is classic! Gavin is looking at Clare like "What are you looking at?" & Clare is saying "Whatever!!"

Making smores with Daddy during these cold winter evenings. Yum!!

Riding my New Bike

Daddy helped Gavin learn how to peddle his bike that Santa Claus brought him. David tried to attach some wood blocks to the peddles to help Gavin reach with his feet. After several different attempts, we removed them & just put some big shoes on Gavin. He is just about there. Maybe in a few months, he will be a pro. David even got a turn on Gavin's bike, which Gavin thought was too funny!!

Go Pack Go!!!

Our great friends from GreenBay sent Gavin this awesome Aaron Rodgers jersey straight from the Packers stadium! Lets all say it together...GO PACK GO!!!
