Gavin can walk! But he only walks when he thinks no one is watching, or when his hands are too full for him to crawl. I only caught him on video because he got into the tin foil. Little turkey!

(The baby noises are a little boy that I watch...Gavin is saying "woo woo" into the foil tube if you listen closely.)

one year old boy

I can hardly believe we’ve had this little boy in our family for a whole year! It’s gone by so fast…and he’s grown so much and learned so much in these past 12 months. He’s the sweetest, most handsome, little one-year-old I’ve ever seen!

Gavin's birthday 3

We had a little birthday party for Gavin on Saturday (the day after his birthday) and had the Dahles and McGoverns over for supper and cake. Ryan made supper and I made the cake. Nothing fancy, but I think Gavin loved it all anyways!

After the birthday party, Ryan and I took Gavin to a minor league hockey game. It seemed like he really had fun, watching the game, smiling at all the people around us, dancing to the music, and eating the food.

Happy birthday my little man!

sharing


Gavin is good at sharing...He loves to feed other people. He often sticks his hands into my plate, or Ryan's plate so that he can "help" us eat our supper.

He loves his big cousin, and shared all his animal crackers with her.

went to the zoo

We went to the zoo with some friends, and Gavin loved it! It was the perfect day - nice and warm. Everything he saw was a new "wow." He even roared at the lions.

hockey fan

Gavin got to go to the Seattle Thunderbird's hockey game with Ryan and Uncle Jesse. I think he had
fun on his boy's night out.

We went again as a family a few weeks later. It gets kind of loud, but it doesn't seem to bother Gavin, and he LOVES the Thunderbird's mascot, Cool Bird. It was a fun family outing. I think we'll go one more time this season with Gavin.


going on a walk with daddy

Gavin was having a rough time the other day. He just wasn't happy, was whiney, and wouldn't take a nap. Mommy was tired, too. So, Daddy took Gavin for a walk. Gavin cried when we first put him in the carrier, but ended up really liking it, pointing at things along the way, and finally falling asleep. What a good dad Ryan is.

eating


Gavin has gotten really good at feeding himself, at least when it's something he wants to eat. He usually has to have a fork and a spoon while he eats.

Although it changes day by day, some of his favorite things to eat are yogurt, grilled cheese sandwiches, grapes, kiwi, bananas, bagels and cream cheese, crackers, hummus, chicken, macaroni and cheese, and anything sweet or chocolatey. There are only a few things he really doesn't like. He usually spits out peas, and doesn't really care for potatoes. He's not a fan of babyfood in general, and likes to eat things that need to be bitten or chewed. I guess he likes to use those six little teeth! Overall, he's a pretty good eater, and still has those chubby cheeks to prove it.
