Hangin' Out with My Girlfriends

Gavin and his "older" girlfriends... Greta and Ella! We finally snapped a recent photo of the three of them - as the last one we had was from several months back; so they looked so different. Plus, since they are all sitting up now (and on the move - especially Greta), they don't really want to sit still and look at the camera. Pretty cute one to share...
L to R: Greta - 8 months (Joe/Melanaie's) then Gavin - 7 months and then Ella - 9 months (Janet/Brent's)

Puff Time...

So Gavin loves eating food everyday- and now we have thrown in Puffs....
(disclaimer: for those that don't know what Puffs are - they are like Cheerios - I didn't know what they were until our nephew, Ty ate them)

While he was at Janet's this week - he was trying to "figure" out what to do with the Puff...

Check out my "puff" teeth

Look at my puff

Cheese... and there is my puff

Did I not swallow my puff -

What's on my chin?

Spending Time with Janet & Ella

Paula, who watches Gavin during the week, has been on vacation the past 2 weeks. So, my friend, Janet has been watching Gavin since Paula has been out of town. Janet is quite the mom and Gavin and Ella have been doing lots of fun stuff together - going for walks, playing together in the Pack-N-Play (yes, she has video to prove that one), playing outside (see the photo above), reading books, playing with toys... and I'm sure alot more.

Thanks Janet for taking care of Gavin - he sure does love spending time with you and Ella!

Overnight with G&G Gillard

Gavin enjoyed the weekend with Grandma & Grandpa Gillard... he loved playing and spending time with them both. Scott and I left on Saturday for a wedding in Lexington, KY (Scott's co-worker, Brad) and spent the night down there for 1 night. SO - G&G drove down to Cinci for some quality time with Gavin and we got to enjoy a night out - so it was a win-win for everyone! Our first night that we were both away from our little guy - but clearly, he was in good hands. Thanks for watching me Grandma & Grandpa... can't wait to see you soon!
AND - congrats to Brad & Ashley on their recent marriage - it was a very fun night and we wish you a lifetime full of love and laughter.

6-month photos

Yes another photo shoot for Gavin - and this time in downtown Cincinnati for his 6 month photos.

Kortnee, our FABULOUS photographer out did herself again - we loved all the photos.
From Fountain Square to Starbucks to a city block and finally to the fountain at P&G Park - we made our way around the great city of Cinci to capture our precious little baby's photos.

Third Shoot (There are 3 Galleries... enjoy!)

We got one...

a bottom tooth! Scott and I have been constantly sticking our fingers in Gavin's mouth to see if he has any teeth. Then on Saturday as we were sitting around with Grandma & Grandpa Gillard... I stuck my finger in there and YES it was a sharp one! First tooth at 7 months on the bottom right side... The big joke is that I have said on numerous occassions for several months now that Gavin has been teething but we never had any proof (and it is always a good excuse if he was ever fussy - "he must be teething") - and now, we got it!

Fantastic Day with My Daddy

I had such a fun day with my Daddy... he is the best ever!

Mommy let Daddy sleep in after his long day yesterday (Paint the Town event) and then we headed to breakfast at Bruegger's, watched him play soccer and then we all took an afternoon nap followed by a great dinner. I know I may be little but I do know how fortunate I am to have my daddy in my life. He always plays with me and reads me books so well - I just love him so much. So to my daddy on his 1st Father's Day - I love you and look forward to sharing so many more fun days with you.

Gavin
