Emily & Hannah

Gavin's cousins came to visit this week and he has so much fun spending time with them.  They got to do many exciting things with Grandpa Jared & Grandma Gina - here are a few pictures from their week together.

21 Months

"Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the sati...sfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom."

Wow!  I can't believe Gavin is now 21 months old and even more crazy, he will be TWO YEARS OLD in September.  He is turning into such a little boy - he melts my heart each and everyday and he is so much fun to be around.  Everyday I feel more and more lucky that I get to be his Mommy.  He has such a big vocabulary and is saying new words daily. I can actually have mini conversations with him now which is so much fun.

Cousins

My niece Sarah and her two little girls came to visit over Memorial Weekend and we had so much fun hanging out together and watching the kids play.  Gavin & Lily (who are only 3 weeks apart in age) get along pretty well, but like to push the limits occasionally.  Kennady is the baby and is only 3 months old and Gavin LOVED her...he was constantly saying "baby" and wanted to know where she was at all times.  It was so cute.  Here are a few pictures...

Gavin's words...

Gavin has quite the vocabulary lately, everyday he is repeating more and more words that he hears, and everyday the words are becoming more and more clear.  He talks almost as much as his Daddy does!  Here is a list of the words he says on a regular basis, at least what I can remember for now:

Hi
Bye
Buh-Bye
Baby
Dada
Mama
Papa
Teee (Toodee from Yo Gabba Gabba)
Ishhh (Fish)
Purpuh (Purple)
Booo (Blue)
Yo
Dee (Birdie)
Pless (Please)

Bahhhh (Spongebob)
Baba (this one he says less and less now thank goodness!)
Cuhhh (Cup)
Chaaa (Chair)
Hah (Hat)
