Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas at home. Gaven enjoyed opening his gifts - thank you all!

Ball - My favorite word!

Gaven has about 5 words (dadda, Liza, ball, oh-oh, all done) and right now ball is his favorite. Anything round (or not so round) qualifies.

First Steps

Gaven took his first steps on Dec 11th - just shy of 14 months! This video is a 2 days later and he's already crossing the room. It's amazing how quickly he has progressed in such a short time. He'll be running by Christmas!

Busy boy

We spent Thanksgiving with our friends Julie and David. Gaven was very good with baby Ella. He had an allergic reaction - presumably to Amoxacillin. He got a lot of stares with his rash! He loves the new tree - too bad mommy put the otnaments so high!

Halloween

Gaven was a pumpkin for Halloween and we were able to reuse our Marilyn and Elvis costumes from a Vegas wedding we had attended. Gaven wasn't sure what to think of daddy's wig. We were all able to enjoy a party at our friend's house.

First Snow

We recently had an October snow storm with almost 20 inches in 2 days. Gaven was so interested in watching daddy shovel and begging to go outside. Once he was suited up and in the yard, he was less enthusiastic about the white stuff.

My First Wheels

As a typical one-year old, Gaven is into everything. He loves to get into our cabinets and the dishwasher is his favorite. He's also a big "helper" to daddy with projects.

Grandma Judy and Papa John sent us this cool "vintage" car for Gaven. Apparently, mommy had a similar one when she was little. He loves to be pushed around in his new ride.
