Happy Birthday Gavin! Ok so its not quite his birthday yet but we had to have his party a few days early. It was so much fun! My Dad and his wife, Allison, flew down for the big event! It was so good to see them and have them here for the special day! And little did I know my sister, Lisyl, was surprising me and she also flew down on Thursday. I was at work and there she was walking down the aisle towards me. Of course I started crying and freaking out! Thank you Lisyl. You are the best sister a girl could ask for. I love you so much! It meant so much that you could be here for Gav's day.
Here is Gavin and Grandma Allison the morning before the party! He just loved his balloons!
And he loved Grandma Allison!
Here is Andrea, and Gav's best friend, Nathan! We had so much fun in the pool even though it was freezing cold! It was so hot outside the water almost felt nice.
Me and my big boy swimming in the pool!

It was such a great weekend! We love you all! Happy Birthday Gavin!
Yesterday Gavin had his 12 month check up and it went really good! He is 22.12 lbs in the 50%, height is 31 1/2" in the 90%! He is doing so well. He is right where he should be. The poor little guy had to get 4 shots! Yuck! He's been a bit fussy but he's doing good! Some of his favorite things to do right now are reading books and playing peek-a-boo from behind the couch! He is so smart and so fun! I love just watching run all over the place and get into everything. He makes us laugh so much! He truly is our pride and our joy! We are truly blessed to have him.
