My first Christmas

Well, here are some photos from my first Chrismas. I was super busy checking out all of my presents and playing with Nana and G-Daddy that I didn't have too much time to pose for photos (that's why mommy is hiring a photographer for my first birthday party)!

Uncle David and Aunt Katie are so silly, it was nice of them to wear antlers and a santa hat to compliment my Santa suit!

Mule ridin' time!

Here is a photo of me with Uncle Piker, he loves to take me riding on the Mule, I can't wait to go fishing with him!

1st Thanksgiving

I know, I know...this was over a month ago, but better late than never right?!?

Here is a photo of me and my cousin Amelia and below is a photo of me with another doggie!

First Haircut

Mommy and daddy kept commenting that I had a bit of a "mullet"...ya see, I have a lot of hair...problem is that most of it is on the sides and back of my head. It was sticking out over my ears and while it didn't bother me...I could see my mothers discontent written all over her face. So while visiting G-Daddy and Nana in Florida, we took a little trip to the Barber Shop.
G-Daddy let me sit in his lap and this nice old guy named Tony put a cool little "cape" around my neck. He pulled out a comb and scissors and of course I reached out thinking they were for me...when he wouldn't let me have them, I became somewhat irrate. In the end, I survived my first haircut, mommy got a lock of my hair and I got a bubble gum lollipop and a certificate!

Grrrrrrowl!

Mommy bought me this really cool sweater outfit...check out my

bear ears! I have been making what mommy refers to as my

"snarling" face...I usually do this when I am excited, happy, mad,
well you get the idea.

Bubble Beard

Behold my new look...the bubble beard! One evening after mom had thouroughly scrubed me, I
decided to stick my face in the water (and taste it..gross I know). When I came up, I had the awesome beard of bubbles...as you can see I was quite proud of my new look!

My first Pumpkin

Momma and I went shopping and she let me pick out my very first pumpkin!!!

Here are some photos of me with my pumpkin...he even has two little teeth like me!

Daycare buddy!

I just love going to school! I wake up every morning ready to go and sing during the entire car ride. I have lots of good buddies...there are my older friends Jones and Dawson, they are both 16 months old...then there are my younger buddies, Cole and Parker. Here is a photo of me and Dawson..he gives me hugs every morning!

Get a load of my racoon hat...don't worry it is faux fur!

Gettin' ready for school

Sometimes mommy lets me

pick out my clothes for school

and comb my own hair...who

knew a comb could taste so good?!?

It's my bottle baby!

Hello all! Well my secret is out...

I can now hold my bottle all by

myself. Daddy has known this

for about a month (since he gives

me my night night bottle). However,

my poor clueless mother only recently

discovered this. Now get this...

she expects me to HOLD my bottle

all the time! The nerve! Sometimes

I just put my arms down by my sides

and refuse, but mostly I give in

because I am thirsty.

Dancin' with Pooh

This video is a little dated...it is from the day

before I started crawling. I loved Winnie the

Pooh's song so much I just had to "dance"!

Love to ride!

As you can see, I love to ride

everything from my little car

to my cool airplane from

G-Daddy and Nana C!

Picking out groceries

Mommy caught me going

through the pantry this

morning...what can I say...a

boys gotta eat right?!?

A boy and his dog

I love my doggy Deano...he makes me giggle

and feel like dancing. He is also a good friend

to talk to from time to time.

My new Tub

Rubber Duckie your the one, you make bathtime

lots of fun! Rubber duckie I'm so in love with you...

and here is a video of me kissing you to prove it!

Scootin' Away

Well I figured it out...I am officially a crawler!!!

Mommy caught all the action in this video!

Skinny Dipping

It is no secret that I LOVE swimming! But I do have a

little guilty pleasure in which I partake on occasion...

Skinny Dipping!!!

A Squealing Good Time!

Here is a video of me and Pappy Lee having a

"screaming match". Needless to say, my cat-like

screeches are unbeatable!

Lots of Firsts!

I have had quite a 6th month! As you can see, I can sit up

all by myself now! I can even go from laying on my stomach

or back to sitting up. I am also getting ready to crawl (I get

up on my hands and knees and rock back and forth as if to

propel myself forward..so far I just fall and my face).

I am starting to get the hang of drinking out of a sippy cup...

well what I really mean is I can hold it and chew on the

mouthpiece, but I do attempt to drink a little every once in

a while!

Mommy's favorite thing is my waving! One day as she was

leaving to go to work, she waved and said "bye bye darling" as

she was walking out the door at daycare. I lifted my little arm

and waved my closed fist up and down. To my surprise, this got

quite a reaction from mommy and Lynn (my daycare teacher)!

Mommy said, "he didn't really just wave did he?" Lynn said

"Gavin...bye bye" and waved at me...so I waved right back at her.

They were so tickled...and I got lots of kisses, so I think I might

try some more tricks soon!

Hot Diggity Dog!

I have learned recently that I absolutely love doggies!

Above is a photo of me petting two doggies at once (Sugar

& Red). Also, here a photo of my Pappy Lee's puppy Dixie...

she is a lot of fun!

And my favorite doggie of all...Deano!!! He makes me laugh

when he gives me kisses!

Splish Splash I love taking my bath!

Here are some photos of me having a good ole' time in the bath!

I can sit up (while holding on of course) and hold a cup. But the

best part is when mommy wraps me up in my towel and gives

me tummy kisses!

July 4th weekend!

Hi everyone! I know it has been awhile! Quick update...I am 5 months, 3 weeks old and doing lots of new things. I started laughing recently (mommy loves to tickle me)! I am also eating veggies and fruits with my cereal! I am trying my best to sit up...I pull myself upright in my carseat and while I am having my bath. Here are some photos of my weekend with Nana and G-Daddy!

Photo Shoot with Mommy

Mommy decided to pull out the old
35mm camera and take some photos
of me...these are just a few of her faves!

My first cereal!

Hey everyone!

I just had my 4 month check up and I am

weighing in at 13 lb 10 ounces and 24 inches long...

no more chest congestion, coughing or wheezing for me either...

my doc says I am absolutely perfect!

He also told mommy she can start trying

to feed me cereal whenever she is ready.

Here are some photos of our first attempt at eating cereal!

Just call me wheezy...

Hi everyone! As some of you may already know...I have a bit of a problem with allergies and colds. Mommy had to take me to the doctor last Monday because I was coughing so hard that I threw up (gross I know).

The doctor listened to me for less than 10 seconds and had the nurse bring in a nebulizer and give me a breathing treatment. She warned mommy that "sometimes they will cry when we do this". The machine started up and all I can say is "ahhh...relief"!

I get my breathing treatments at least twice a day and I really enjoy them...I sometimes aggrevate mom when I decide to pull the tube off the machine, but all I have to do is crack a smile and I am forgiven (wonder how long I can get away with that)!
