A happy guy

Gaven is now 8 1/2 months old. He is such a happy little man - we feel so lucky to have him in our lives.

Liza's new best friend (video)

Liza has discovered the Gaven is a great source of treats. She sits under his high chair and waits for goodies (or sticky hands).

Family visits

Gaven enjoyed seeing Grandma Judy and Papa John. He loved their kiss sandwich!

My Dudes

Gaven is starting to look more like his daddy all the time - he's definitely got those baby blues!

Doing my chores

Gaven has been helping us around the house lately - entertaining us with smiles and laughs as we do laundry, cook, etc. He loves to join mom and dad in their "big bed" on mornings to practice rolling between us.

First time swimming (video)

We took Gaven to a great public pool. Everyone raved about the water works and slide. Gaven was overwhelmed by the noise and sites at first (video 1). Within 20 minutes, he was happily kicking away (video 2). Maybe next time we'll take him down the slide (Rob tried it out to be sure it was safe:)!

First Hike

We took Gaven for his first hike a few weeks ago. He was fancinated with his new view. After a quick lunch at the end of the trail, he slept the whole trip back (picture with Rob).

Uncle Craig stayed with us one night on his way through town. We look forward to seeing the rest of the family soon.
