Gaven Turns Two

Gaven had three birthday parties this year. He especially liked singing Happy Birthday and blowing out the candles (video). He also enjoyed his birthday dinner which included macaroni cupcakes (the kid would eat macaroni every day if given the choice). For his 2 year check up, he was in the 83% for height and >90% for weight and head circumfrence. We have also been very impressed with the explosion of his vocabulary. He now uses 3-5 word sentences. A recent favorite: "Gaven farted from the mouth" when describing a burp. He keeps us laughing.

Lake time

We spent time in the midwest visiting family over Labor Day. Gaven enjoyed playing with his big cousins Eliza, Aiden, Elle and Tal. He also loved driving "grandpa" Tom's boat. All men with grey hair and glasses qualify as grandpa for Gaven:) He also met great grandma Jean for the first time.

The summer

We had a busy summer and were able to spend time with family. Gaven loved hanging out with his cousins Charlie and Sam. He also enjoyed hiking in his backpack. With 30 lbs of love on his back, Rob got a good workout.
