Halloween 2010


Mommy and her little baby Koala on Halloween
(we thought we'd sneak in a few pics during the calm before we attempted to put his hat on)


"I dig this Halloween thing - I like being furry!"


Koala hat on -yes!


Our little koala bear


On the hunt for eucalyptus leaves...


Gavin's little bear crawl made him that much more convincing as a little koala bear!


Sumo stance koala style


"So mom, when do I get that candy stuff?"


"Look ma, no hands!"


"Who are these people and where do they shop?"


Maya and Gavin checking out each other's furry frocks


(Gavin): "My, what big ears you have!"


"Seriously, about the candy people...we're not dressed up for our health"


"Lia, if you can grant me one wish, it's that Mommy and Daddy let me eat candy."


Daddy and his little furry baby

Gavin with Lia, Maya, Bowser and Mark
"Are you aware that your dog looks pretty tasty right about now..."


"Well, they're not eucalyptus, but I guess they'll do..."


There's a koala down there!


Gavin: "Shouldn't we go on a date first?"


What do you get when you cross a lamb and a koala bear?

Gavin's Nine Month Birthday


Gavin chewin' on his little puppy's pom pom leash


Gettin' cuter by the minute!


Gavin in his famous sumo squat.  We think he may be training to be a catcher.


"Do these jeans make me look fat?"


Gavin met Aunt Jessie's kitty, Mufasa, and wasn't so sure what he thought...


But he knows he loves the swing!


Fun birthday swing ride!  He had the playground to himself because it wasn't so nice out


"Does nine months old mean I'm a big boy now?"


Such a silly little ham!


Look at those teeth starting to come in!


"Look into my eyes.  You will be hypnotized by my cuteness..."


Edible cutie pie on the loose again!


Gavin chillaxin' in the tub with his bath buddies.  Gavin, make yourself at home and relax, please.


Cutie patoots sucking his thumb - he hardly ever does that!

Gavin's Ninth Month

"Peekaboo!"


"Dude, this is a pretty sweet ride!  Wasn't expecting that big push from Mommy - 
she's lettin' loose today!"


"Weeeeeee!"


"I love my bath!"


"I get to splash water everywhere!"


"And I get away with flooding the floor because I am so cute!"


"See, all I do is give a look like this..."


"And poof!  Mommy and Daddy are wrapped around my little wet finger!  Heehee!


"Daddy, you seem very excited about this whole "Redskins" thing but I am just trying to figure out who  those tiny people are who are running around in Maroon and Gold around on the tv screen?"


Gavin showin' some leg...


He knows he's hot stuff!


We've said it before...don't let that innocent look fool you!


"Anyone seen my baseball?"


"S'up?"


In early October, we had a fun trip to the Corn Maize in Leesburg.  Here's Lia, Gavin, Mommy, John, and Maya on the giant moonbounce!


Gavin loved playing in the cornbox with Maya and Lia!


I'm buried in corn, Mommy!


Lia helped bury him and Maya even more!


"What do you mean I can't take the corn box home with me?"


Gavin sitting on a giant pumpkin


"That horse is big, Daddy!"


Goose got to meet some Geese!  They were honking away and he giggled up a storm!


Giggly and shy with the loud geese


Daddy and Gavin took a ride on the cow train!


John, Lia, Maya and Ella came along too!


Mommy with Gavin on a hayride to the pumpkin patch


Mommy, Daddy, and Gavin at the beginning of the corn maze


We all got very lost...
We learned it helps if you locate the corn maze map first.


That's ok - all's well that ends well says Mimi and Gavin!



Mommy and Gavin enjoying the outdoors


Gavin had a really fun playdate at the Taylors - here he is tackling Lexi the dog


Gavin enjoying his first time in a booster seat as he eats lunch with Chelsea


Look how happy he is in his big boy seat!


Gavin was very excited to meet little Avery and wanted to pat her head


Cute playdate portrait!
(Chelsae, Gavin, and Avery)


Sweet little baby Austyn Grace is here!  Congrats to Buddy, Matt, and big sister Kaylie!


Gavin had a fun trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house and had a load of fun with this pumpkin!  
(He fooled you!  It's not real.)


He loved his little Haunted House chest from Grandma that played spooky music when you open it up!


Gavin poses with Grandma and Grandpa


Gavin finally got to meet Calvin and they were instant buddies!  Here they are with their proud daddies.


Gavin quickly decided he would play the home field advantage and steal Calvin's pacifier.


Jen, Calvin, and Oscar playin' around


Gavin and Calvin were up a little past their bedtimes and got a little punch drunk!


Calvin:  "Hey Gavin, maybe our parents will keep talking and totally forget we even need to go to bed!"
Gavin:  "Do you really think so?  'Cause that would be sweet.  They never forget with just me."


Look at the big boy standing so tall!
