Motorcycle Babe!

So MC has been fixing up a motorcycle and Ren decided it would make a great "dangerous" picture! we got a few real good biker Gavin pictures! He looks tough huh! (notice his shirt says "muy macho" too!)

Blogger Fart...

I haven't posted anything for a while. Gavin changes and does new things every day, but for some reason I'm not capturing them... its like I feel like I dont know what to post. Im having a blogger fart. We had a ton of people from our ward over last night for a little party (14 adults and 6 kids 2 and under) It was a ton of fun and Gavin loves being around other kids and was having a good ol time... but I forgot to get pictures. (bugger) Out of those kids there is only one little girl and we like to pretend like her and G are in love! I will have to come up with some more things to post....

New full time job...

So since I am a stay at home mom now, and only have one baby, I have been killing time a lot at home cooking. A LOT OF COOKING! It's my new hobby I think. When G goes down for a nap I flip through cook books and magazines and have been cooking something new and delicious almost every night now. My friend Gina got a cook book from Amazon called Cooking With All Things Trader Joe's, and I love Trader Joe's! She also gave me a whole bunch of those lite n' tasty magazines, so its been pretty healthy, good for your body food! We have made stuff like dijon crusted chicken breast, homemade chicken tortilla soup, asian dumpling soup, Chinese lemon chicken with a tangy lemon glaze, egg drop soup, a makeover (healthier) chicken pot pie, chicken gyros with tzatziki sauce, lots of cookies, and a yummy orange cinnamon swirl bread! Oh and a favorite... its called blushing pears! soooo good! The pears have to be pretty ripe, and you pretty much poach them in a sherry with orange zest, cinnamon sticks, cranberry juice and sugar!!!! Such a good dessert and easy! Well, anyway thats my new hobby I guess. If you have any suggestions for me to try, I am open for ideas.... G is such a big help, and he loves licking the spoon!!!

Who can guess what Gavin is missing...?

Gavin loves to be naked! Sometimes when I change his diaper, he gets mad at me when I put a new one on... so sometimes I leave him naked for a little bit. Ren told me I was disturbed for taking these pictures, but I thought they are FUUUUNY!

The Tube Amp... again!

Look at this thing! I blogged this before but, Ren built a tube amplifier and some speakers a while ago. The tube amp gets extremely hot! So once the tubes get hott hott they turn this pretty blue... so we turned the lights off and we got some really cool prictures! (and when I say WE I mean REN) :-)

The G update

Gavin just changes everyday... heavy sigh. He is getting more personality and doing something new everyday. Annie decided that he has a really fun squishy face! Its so round and chunky its easy to play with... and he gets a kick outta it too! He has started grabbing at things around him... like the dogs! He has been grabbing at Falcor's tail and ears and pulling them pretty hard! They are really good with him though and just take it like champs! They never snap at him or anything which is good. We started giving him rice cerial and bananas and pears too. The first time was totally funny! He is starting to get used to it now (kinda) and we have been washing a lot of bibs in the laundry lately!

Comments Welcome...

So is there some kind of super mom teething trick I dont know about? Little G is staring to teeth, and man o man... He used to sleep all through the night. I would put him down around 9 and he would sleep until about 6:30- 7. NOW... he has been waking up a lot crying and in the day he is a little more crabby than normal. He is chomping down on anything he can get his hands on, and drooling like Niagara Falls. He hasnt been eating as well either, but as you can see in these pictures he's not exactly starving! I have been giving him Tylenol at night and those freezer teething rings but I want to know if there are any good tricks out there I dont know about.
