Baby Gap Casting Contest

Hey... I thought, why not enter Gavin! There are 2 separate contests. One the casting judges pick for the Gap baby, and theres the "fan favorite" where you can sign in ONCE A DAY and vote for your favorite. Whoever has the most with the Fan favorite gets a prize (its like a popularity contest.) Everyone has always told me I should enter him in the Gap thing so here I go. To vote for Gavin go to this site. http://www.gapcastingcall.com/GapCastingCall/Gallery.html Im pretty sure this is a direct link, but their site is SO SLOW. I uploaded 5 pictures so here are the contestant ID#'s 258432, 258487, 258531, 258622, 258572. Thanks everyone! PLEASE VOTE :o)
here are the pictures I submitted:

Suggestions Welcome

Gavin made the transition to whole milk last week... except he HATES regular milk. He hates it so much that he was gagging this morning when I tried to give it to him. Also, if he knows that milk had previously been in his cups, he wont drink out of that cup again unless I force it to him to prove its not milk. Any suggestions...

Birthday Videos

Thought I'd post a video too...why not!

Happy 1st Birthday Gavin!

Thank you, everyone who came to Gavin's party! I made some Red Velvet cupcakes and Gavin definitely loved stuffing it in his face! We had to give him a tubby after... that means it was a success right?!? He got some really fun new toys, and books, and clothes! Thank you all again! I can't believe he's one... what the what!

Funny Video

I know this looks kinda cruel... but I've devised a new way to mop my floors! I just need to make a jammie that has a mop super glued to the tummy!

Lots to blog...

Gosh... where to start. Gavin has been doing some pretty funny things lately and I have meant to put them on here but keep forgetting. I know this may sound like bad parenting, but G loves... LOVES playing in the hose on the patio. At first we thought he liked playing in the water, so we would turn the hose on real low so it just trickled out... but after a while we just realized he just loves the hose itself. We can literally leave him out there on the patio while I'm making dinner or doing whatever and he stays in the same spot and plays forever. And then when we bring him inside he throws a huge tantrum. Boys... So our friends just had their first baby girl, and we have been spending some time at their house and Jeff (the daddy) has a RC car track in his backyard... which both Ren and Gavin love. Ren will bring Gavin out to play while im inside with the new baby... and I come out to see Gavin on top of the jacuzzi in a stroller! Ren says "the wheels are locked... he's good!" So I love how Gavin is getting such a funny personality. He is such a ham... the other night, Ren got his camera out to take pictures of baby Aidyn and we look over at Gavin in his high chair and he has the biggest grin and he's posing for the camera! It was hilarious... and of course because we started laughing, he just hammed it up even more! So funny!

Next time ill have to put a video of him walking on... he is getting better, not as wobbly. At first he looked like ET because he'd have his arms in the air and wave them around... but his balance is getting better. He is into EVERYTHING!!!

Future Employee...?

We're training him young. We'll start him doing Ren's desk work... and maybe by next year he'll be doing installs???? :o)
