3 and a Half

Gavin turned 3 and a Half this Month. Wow!  It has gone by super fast!  Here is what he has been up to!

*Preschool! He loves it, and his teacher, and all his friends!

*Music Class. This month he is learning "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" by the teacher and he likes to color when he goes!

*He can sing his ABC and does really good.  He can really only pick out the letter G, but it getting to know A and B.

*He can count to 20, and up to 30 if you help him.

*He knows all his colors (YAY for not being color blind) And does really good with saying them.

*He knows a lot of shapes and his favorite is a Triangle!

*He is still only 29lbs. He is my little guy!

*He is in all 3T clothes (Shirts, Pants/Shorts, Jammies)

*He is Potty Trained during the day and naps, we put him to bed in a diaper.  He will get there one day!

*His favorite TV shows are Word World, Phineas & Ferb and Color World. His favorite Movies are Phineas & Ferb movie and Despicable Me.

*He is still my car boy. He knows a lot of car brands and will drive around a car saying "It's my Toyota" or "It's Cathy's Car" (On the car that looks like Aunt Cathy's)

*He for the most part Loves Greyson and helping him, but he doesn't like to share toys with him or really to have him follow him around and play with.

*He loves Milk, Chicken Nuggets, Grilled Cheese. We make him try everything we eat, he fights it at first then after he tastes it he says it is good and eats a couple more bites:)

*He is a really good talker and can get his point across most the time.

*He is a great sleeper and most the time if Greyson wakes up in the middle of the night and cries Gavin doesn't even flinch!

*He is getting a lot better at not throwing fits and we do spend less and less time on the Time Out chair. He does have his moments, but it is getting better:)

It has been a BIG year for Gavin so far! It is only going to get bigger! Love you big boy!

Disney on Ice: Toy Story 3

We went to see Disney on Ice: Toy Story 3 for Gavin's birthday. He loved every minute of it & Greyson loved it too! I definitely think we will be doing this again!

Birthday Invite

Here is Gavin's 3rd Birthday invitation. I love it! I will hopefully blog about our fun birthday weekend later!

Happy Birthday Gavin!

Happy 3rd Birthday Gavin! I can't believe that it has been 3 years since you arrived into our lives. What a smart, funny, happy, loving, proud little guy you are! We are so lucky to have you in our lives. We have had a lot of ups and downs, laughs, temper tantrums, fun and live in these 3 years and we are so excited to see what is going to come next. Hopefully this fall we will get you into preschool so you can learn lots more. I hope we can just watch your personality grow and see you learn even more as you continue to progress.

You are the best big brother ever. You were made to be a big brother and I am glad we had the opportunity to give you a little brother, someone you can share things with and be friends with. I hope you guys will grow together and be great friends your whole life.

This year we are going to work on your temper tantrums. I probably think they are worse and happen way more then they probably really do, but we need to figure out a way to communicate with each better so the temper tantrums become less and less.

You are such a happy (most of the time) little guy and we are so excited to be on this journey of life and learning with you. Remember, Mom & Dad love you alway and forever! Thank you for choosing us and coming into our family. You help complete our family and we can't imagine our lives without you. We love you so much and look forward to teaching you and leading you and helping you grow all while learing and growing from you! Happy 3rd Birthday Little Guy, we hope it is the BEST YEAR YET!

Love, Mom & Dad

3 Years

Half way through! Mike has been in the Navy for 3 years now. He only has 3 more years of Reserves left then he has 2 years of IRR (Inactive Ready Researve) then he needs to make that ever important decision of resigning for 8 more years or not. I know he would like to move up the chain more, so that is going to be our goal for this year. Right now he is a E3, so we are going to move him on up!

3 Years!

Since no one at my work really cares, I will blog about it! I have officially worked at my job for 3 years! This is a HUGE accomplishment for me & the longest I have been at a job in my working adult life...I think it is time for a change! Kidding! Happy 3 years to me!

Anniversary

I just wanted to give a shout out to my Husband of 3 years today...Happy Anniversary baby...I look forward to many more incredible years together with you...I love you!
