Gavin Giving Love

Love Elmo!Kiss Elmo!

Gavin began this love crusade at Grandma and Grandpa Olynger's. My mom has a Cabbage Patch doll, and Gavin started to hug it and kiss it. It was so cute, he did it all on his own. While Gavin is hugging all of his animals, he is rocking them while he is holding them, as well as patting their backs. He truly is loving. At church the other week Gavin leaned over the pew and hugged this 3 year old boy. Gavin would not stop. He must have done it for 5 min. The little boy, thank goodness, was really loving as well. I hope this is a preview as to how Gavin will treat his new brother or sister, if so, then all my worries are gone!

Gavin Playing Peek-A-Boo

Where's Gavin?

There he is!

He loves to play this game. He does it all day long. It is super cute the first 5 times, then you just get sick of saying, "Where's Gavin?" He is so cute when he does it because he usually peeks, his fingers are open over his eyes.

First Blog

Hello! I guess it is time for us to join the blog train. We are doing great. Kyle is busy as ever. He is now working in the branch, instead of the home loan center. With this comes longer days, as well as Saturdays. It will give him a little more security during this vulnerable time in the mortgage industry. I am enjoying being at home with Gavin, and constantly on call to start working. Gavin is crazy as ever. He loves to play catch with the ball and speed crawl around the house. He still refuses to walk. On Saturday he took 10 steps, but then plopped on his butt and crawled. Even with our cheers and claps he would rather crawl. He has progressed to the bear crawl. You should see him, he is amazing. His vocabulary is expanding, it is almost up to 15 words, granted Mommy and Daddy may be the only ones who understand, but hey he is trying. His favorite things to say are: ball, dog, turtle, fish, Mama, Dada, duck, more, yummy, book, baby, etc. We just bought his Halloween costume, a turtle! It is so cute. I will post it later. He is constantly making me laugh. He just started dancing. Kyle puts hip hop on and dances with Gavin. It is soooo funny. Yesterday he began tapping his foot to the beat, so great.

Alright, most of you know; however, I have been informed that some are still unaware of our recent news. WE ARE PREGNANT AGAIN! Yes, I was just as shocked as you are. And yes, they will only be 19 months apart. I am due the middle of March, but every time I go in it changes. I am 15 weeks along, and everyday I have to remind myself. I will be in spin class, spinning super hard, and go ahhh, I am pregnant, lower the body temperature! So I forget most of the time, thanks to Gavin, who fills my every thought and emotion. It will be a lot of fun. We are looking forward to sleepless nights and all that again. So there you have it, our first blog, and our family news.
