Halloween:Episode II

We had a great Halloween night. We had a neighborhood appetizer party and then went around our lake where they had a huge bouncey house, food and music. Gavin was so happy to be out and about and getting lots of attention. We were out walking around for so long that we missed all the trick or treaters. I have two huge bags of candy left. Already today, I have had about ten boxes of nerds. Here's some pics from our night out. Enjoy.

Halloween: Episode I

Here we are at our ward party the night before Halloween. I couldn't get my buns right on my Leah wig ( we were running late, shocker), so I had to go as Luke and Jared went as Anakin. It was fun because we were able to use our light sabers. Yes, we have two. The real ones. Don't ask.




Defending Chewy.



I'm thinking of going blonde. I had a great time! Maybe they do have more fun.




Cutest little Chewbacca!

Cousin Love

We had such a great time visiting Missouri and spending time with Josh, Melissa, Lucie, and sweet baby Jane. It was such a beautiful time to be there. We also got some great pictures done by Angelique (a local photographer). The babies had a really fun time together. They especially liked to swap pacifiers. I would look at Jane and she'd have a blue paci in her mouth and Gavin would have Jane's green paci in his mouth. Oh well, just building their immunity, right?

First Haircut

We went to visit Melissa in Missouri and while we were there we had pictures done, so Gavin got his first haircut. He sat all by himself and was really good.

The final look

He had a great time being the center of attention.

He's so fun and loves his cousin Lucie.

Gavin gives the finger

Gavin is very dexterous. He loves to touch things with just his index finger. It's really funny. Also, if you put your finger out in front of him he'll grab it and then put his finger to yours. It's so cute. I often look down and he's stroking his giraffe lovey with just his index finger. I love it.

Here's the "cool" guy

We loved this outfit and thought Gavin looked so cool. He's so fun and his little personality is really coming out.

Getting Big

I can't believe that Gavin is almost ten months old! He's getting so big! He loves to pull himself up and walk from ottoman to ottoman. It's so cute. He's so quick and we've been staying in shape by chasing him around and just trying to keep him from hurting himself. His new thing this week is to pull ALL the toilet paper off the roll in the bathrooms. He thinks it's so funny. He also has started to bite and it is not soft. He has six teeth and when he bites down you feel all of them. Last night I was sitting in our living room with my legs up on the ottoman and he walked over and bit down on my leg, I yelped ouch and when he looked up he started to laugh. It was hard not to laugh with him, but I think it's time to start teaching him not to bite. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Enjoy the new pics and I will try to be better at updating our blog. Dee and Mary are coming this week and we'll have more pictures after their visit. We can't wait for them to come.
