Ready for a Safari!

Gavin looked adorable yesterday in his safari outfit. He was ready to hunt down some animals! We didn't quite see the animals you find in the wild, but we did see some squirrels, dogs, cats, and "red bird"...good enough for Gavin anyway! We've got to get him back to the zoo someday soon, though!

Has Spring Finally Sprung?

Our family has really enjoyed being outside in the warm, spring weather. It is so exciting doing things with Gavin now that he is more independent. He can run and play outside while mommy is tending to his little brother.

Gavin was very helpful and went and got this toy for his brother. Here he is trying to show him how to play with it!

Gavin looking a little worn out!

Yep, he's teething again!

Gavin is in love with bubbles!

Such a cute little bubble-blower!

Taking a break for a snack!

Gunner is all smiles in the sun!

Mommy and Gavin at Huckleberry Park in Hannibal.

This is the way to ride!

How sweet!

Gavin's favorite part of the park...feeding the geese and the ducks!

Happy 7 Month Birthday, Nunny!

Yep, our little nunny turned 7 months today! What a blessing he has been to our family! We all (even Gavin now-a-days!) love to watch him grow and develop on a daily basis.

He is becoming so much fun now that he can babble and physically interact more. Gavin continues to be a good big brother and is anxiously awaitning the day his brother can run around with him. Mama's boys!

Sitting proudly for his monthly picture!

Showing signs on his chin of his new teeth!

Mommy always gets bigger smiles when he's naked!


Not the same pix, but I realize now that they are very similar!

Telling Gavin "good morning"!

You can see who wears the pants for now!

Big brother showing off his camo crocs!

Ok, just one more pix with mommy!

Coralridge Mall

We had to make another trip to Iowa City this week for a check-up at the eye clinic. This time Gavin and Gunner both made the trip with Mimi and I. They had lots of fun playing in the playland at the mall!

Better watch your speed and wear your seat belts!

Gavin's first helicopter ride of the day!

The tunnel of fruit! If only it were real...Gavin would be in heaven!

BIIIIG slide!

Crawling up the bunch of "bapes"!

What a large box of colors!

Come on, Nunny!

These two are going to have so much fun together!

"Pound it", Herky!

Go Hawks!

Of course, Gavin had to choose the deer!

Gavin and Bob doing a little 'dozing!

Yep, Gavin's second helicopter ride of the day! He was exhausted by the time we headed home! He was out almost immediately and then didn't even move the whole way home! What a little stinker! hee hee

What's Wrong With This Picture?

Gavin got himself ready this morning. Other than the fact that he is wearing only a diaper, shoes, and a hat, what is wrong with this picture?

Snips and snails, and puppy-dogs' tails

Gavin can finally wear his adorable monkey shirt from our St. Louis Zoo trip last summer! (Front: Heads)

Is this cute, or what? (Back: ...or tails)

Gunner LOVES Gavin to push him in circles in his exersaucer!

Our camo-cutie!

Gavin, Daddy, and Xena (dog-sitting for Clint's parents) checking out the geese at the lake.

Gavin enjoying another day with Dumbo!

I can do it myself, mommy!

Gavin, watch where you're going!

Gavin does a remarkable job walking in mommy's heels!

Hey, at least they're crocodile skin! That's kind of close to camo, right?

Gavin took this picture of mommy and Gunner all by himself!

Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky, Gunner!
