Three years ago...

On your birthday we loved you instantly...

Two years ago on your birthday we snuggled and kissed you. Smiled and laughed with you...

One year ago on your birthday we sang and clapped and celebrated the funny, smart, sweet boy you are becoming....

This month we celebrate you again! We are so glad to call you our son!
You make us laugh and think and smile and we love you more than we can say!

Happy Birthday sweet boy or should I say Buzz Lightyear!

Then and Now

He can be so sweet some days. He is growing up so fast he will be turning three in a few weeks and I just can't believe how quickly it has gone. Sometimes I forget he used to be small. Like this.

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin carving...over-rated!

Elmo was yet again our candy hauler of choice. This morning when Gavin was done with breakfast I pulled Elmo out of his hiding place to give him a candy and he declared "Melmo! I'm so happy Mommy!"

Oh if only he were that happy to see me! Either way watching him enjoy life's little pleasures - no matter how many calories they contain - makes me so happy!

He looks innocent enough right?

Found this very structured pile on the couch...dug a little deeper...

I found this...

hmmmm...who could have done such a thing????

Owen...Loves his changing station. Which is currently our dresser. I think it's the reflections in the mirror but he go from grumpy to giggles when you put him up there.













Gavin...won't eat his granola bar because it's broken. Too funny but really sad because he is very distraught.

Owen rolls over!

Don't know if it counts or if it was a fluke. I didn't see it. Put him on his tummy came back a minute later and he was on his back. Seem really early. Exciting none the less.

Spitting Kisses

I started blowing Gavin kisses the other day. He loved it! He modified it though. Dropped the hand and made it more into a spit than a blow. He runs around the house making a spitting noise and laughing. Too cute! I love his kisses even if he is spitting them at me!
