The attack of the soggy graham cracker

It was a quiet evening in the James house. Mike had so nicely contained Gavin and made dinner while I took a hot bath. I came to the dinner table to be surprised by steaks smothered in mushrooms and onions served with grilled asparagus. We sat down to enjoy our nice meal. Gavin decided he wanted to sit in Mike's lap. Mike frazzled from cooking dinner while chasing a busy toddler graciously scooped him. Next Gavin decided our steaks looked good he wanted to try a bite which after a couple of chews came back into the world dribbling down Gavin and Mike's shirts. After a repeat of steak sampling Mike opted to put him down in the chair next to him where Gavin began dishing piece after piece of asparagus to Mike. Gavin having sampled and spit out graham crackers decided for the dinner finale to throw the soggy graham cracker across the table at his mother. Being struck without warning square in the chest by soggy graham cracker I could do nothing but laugh non stop all the way to the kitchen where I decided dinner with a toddler was blog worthy.

That and this picture.

These are a few of my favorite things...

He makes me smile.


What I call the "you'd better let me look at that bike" look.

Why I let him look at the bike.
(Not joking this picture was taken less than one minute after the previous photo.)

Gavin's nickname "Bubba" or "Little Bubba" in this photo he is
featured with the original Bubba aka big Bubba or Uncle Bubba.

Sweet looks.


Lips I love baby lips.

Can you say Ousta? Kissy face so cute! He also looks like
this when he over pronounces no. So cute that even though
you shouldn't laugh one always does.

I walked in to find him wearing one of his new favorite accessories.
The boy loves his hats.

Me and my baby love!

You can barely see the side of Gavin's face but the kids all climbed under the table of our booth while Courtney and I had lunch. Her kids knew enough to not eat the yummies off the floor.
