Daddy's Boy

Gavin has become really interested in daddy's camo hats and slippers. He loves to give everyone a hat to wear. It is very cute!

He can actually walk in those boats!

Gavin was determined not to look at the camara for me! As I said...Daddy's boy!

Just thought this pix showed what big blue eyes he has!

Two of a kind!

Dr. Grothuas decided Daddy was feeling sick and needed some medicine.

Our sweet "Baby Nunner"!

Bruiser

Thank goodness it's Friday! Mommy is ready to have Daddy home for some company and help! Gavin has not slept well the last two nights because he has started a cold. He always has trouble breathing through his mouth and keeping his pacifier in, which means big trouble! He has only been sleeping about 30 minutes for naps which means no down time for mommy! Although you can't tell very well from the pictures, Gavin got a pretty good shiner today. He was chasing mommy and fell into a doorway. He was pretty tough, though. I think it scared him more than anything.

Rolling and Painting

It was an exciting night in the Grothaus household. Along with celebrating Gunner's four month birthday, Gavin got to "paint" and learn his colors with pudding. It was an idea I had read in a parenting magazine. He had lots of fun and got a tasty treat! While Mommy was helping Gavin, Daddy was encouraging Gunner to roll over. The first picture shows how far he got on his own. He couldn't figure out how to get his left arm out from under him. Gavin was very proud of little brother as you can see in the picture of him clapping for him.

Logie Bear Comes For A Visit

Logan really enjoyed blasting some tunes with Uncle Clint!

Gavin enjoyed stealing Logan's mommy, Aunt Cynthia, to have her read to him.

We thought it would be fun to have the boys take a bath together. Logan just kind of stared at his crazy cousin, Gavin.

Gavin wanted to be the froggie that night!

The perfect place for these two silly boys...the Zoo!

Gavin always thought he had to show Logan how the toys worked.

Sweet Logan is sharing his book with his cousin Gunner.

"You're fun to play with, Logan!"

Gavin had a hard time giving up the driver's seat!

Happy Four Month Birthday, Gunner!

We love you, "Nunner"!

Open Wide!

Gunner has been packing on the pounds and really getting stronger so we decided to go ahead and start him on cereal. I think he spit it all out the first night, shown here, but last night he cleaned his bowl. I don't want to talk about how he slept because I don't want to jinx anything!

Christmas Can't Be Over Already!!

It seems like we were just putting up our tree and now we're having to take it down already! Yes, it's a record...I have my tree down before February! I have vowed to start tree decorating and Christmas music on November 1st next year to make sure I have enough time to enjoy it! Here are the last of the Christmas photos from 2007.

Toys! Toys! Toys!

Bath toys appeared to be a theme at Christmas this year! Gavin now cries every time mommy tries to get him out. I try to use the timer (island looking toy in the pic) but he just stands up and dances to the music when it plays and gets upset when it stops.

Gunner stays much warmer in his froggie towel! Gavin likes to say "ribbit, ribbit" when he wears it.

The elephant towel is mommy's favorite, although she doesn't know how to make elephant sounds.
Gavin is anxious to take his four-wheeler outside!

I Love You, Daddy!

Sunday Best

Here are a couple of pics of Gavin looking "dapper" in his church clothes from Auntie Jen. He looks cute here but when the hat is a little lower on his head or backwards, he looks absolutley adorable!
