Gavin Loves the Weekend!

Smiling for his Mommy!

He can hold up his head for a LONG time now!

Relaxing with Uncle Josh.

Watching the birds.

Porch-sitting and watching the old folks walk by.....

Gavin, the Bee and a tiny Mohawk.

Mom and Grammy did something odd to my hair.

I had to "mad dog" them a little.

It's okay. They know I love them.

Yup. It's true. This little guy already has some "guns" on him!

Having a moment with Mommy.

Gavin and the Bee...

It really sounds like he says "No WAY. No." Definitely a child prodigy.

It is good to be Gavin.

Swinging at Gigi's house.

In my Baby Einstein play yard from Auntie Pooh & Uncle Gordie. It is awesome!
If only I could crawl.

Dinner at Hibachi With Uncle Josh

We are going out to dinner with Uncle Josh!

Gavin LOVES going out to dinner.

We are not sure why.

He does not get any of the food.

Hibachi Steak House has the best steak in the whole world. Really!

Gavin helped figure out the tip.

It is time he learns how to wear cool shades like his uncle.

That was FUN. We should get together again soon!

Finally Friday!! Life is good!

This photo is fuzzy, but look at that grin!

OK. Ready to get out of the sink now.

Yes, he does sleep like his Uncle Josh.

Gavin was a good boy for Great Grandma Sweeney.

Heading for the Weekend!

This is Gerry the Giraffe.

Telling Mommy a big story.

His hands are HUGE for such a little guy.

Like Mother, like Son.

First, a story.

When Bethany was six months old, she flew with her Mommy and Grandma Crane to New Zealand to meet Grandpa Crane for the first time.

While we were there, we bought her a wonderful, soft, blue and white snugglie thing to wear in the chilly Kiwi weather.

We all just loved it, and she wore it a lot!

When we got back to the US, she also wore it for her first Halloween,

and we drew little whiskers on her face.

We were not sure what creature she was, but it was cute!

When she outgrew it, I put it in the cedar chest

...and waited to see who would need it next.

Thank goodness we did not wait

until Gavin was six months old to try it on him!

It fits him just right now, at a little over two months old. He is a moose!

Here is Bethany, on a cold New Zealand beach, passed out in the sleeper:

And here is Gavin trying on the same sleeper:Bethany in the Fairy Springs Hotel, with her Mommy:
Gavin:

Gavin, "I think I look a little like Shrek in this thing!"

Bethany in Rotarua with Mom: Gman:

Gavin: "Did some one say I look like a girl in this??"

Another Day in Paradise.

Buddy is.....well....his buddy!

Aunt Kait is back from Sin City. Thank goodness!

Life is pretty dang good.

We are trying very hard to sleep here.

Being a Mommy is hard work.

Being a really cute baby takes a lot of effort, too!

Swimming at Grandpa's House!

The GMan looks ready to go, wearing his new swim suit!

He poses with Grandpa....
Gives Aunt Kait (the fabulous photographer!) one last snuggle....
A kiss for good luck....
And into the pool!
Seriously, not loving it at first!!!!!



Hugs and kisses help!
Look. He has tiny angel wings!
Everything is always okay when Mommy is there.
