Weekend Fun

Gavin and I have had quite the busy weekend while Kevin was away, but we are happy is back now and ending out weekend with some quality time together. Friday night we went to the Diamondbacks game with our friends from church. It was a great evening of fun and fellowship. The dbacks actually won, which is always a plus, following the game was fireworks, and following that was a Mercy Me concert, and Gavin didn't miss one minute of the whole night. He lived it up with all our friends, enjoying their company.

Kevin had bought this hat for Gavin right after he was born, and it just now fit him for the first time, perfect timing for the game.
However it was difficult to get him to keep it on for any length of time.

He thought it was great fun to take it off and chew on it.

Yesterday Gavin and I spent the day with Graunt Kathy & Uncle Nate at the Arizona Fall Frenzy outdoor concert festival. Gavin enjoyed being outside and loved the music, he clapped and bounced along with everyone else.

Gavin also enjoyed Uncle Nate's shoes, immediately following this picture he actually moved in to take a chew on Nate's shoe.

We ended the night with some wonderful ribs. Gav was not so sure about them.

He then was watching up Nate eat the ribs and wanted to try it out for himself.

This picture cracks me up, because somehow Gavin got his cup handle hooked through the loop on his pacifier. So he kept trying to put his pacifier in but couldn't keep it in because it was too heavy with the cup dangling. It was quite hillarious.

Well that was our weekend, now Kevin is home and we are spending some time catching up. Look for more pictures from the rest of the week tomorrow. I'm a little behind. Gavin has had a cranky couple days, since getting his shots.

Nine Months & Growing

Now that Gavin is nine months old, he is quite the busy boy. Here are a few videos to give you a little glimpse of the last few days. He also had his nine month appointment on Wednesday. Our boy is now 23.2 pounds and 31 inches long, that puts him in the 97 percentile in height and the 90th percentile for weight. Other than that he is a healthy growing big, boy.

9 Months

It is hard to believe it, but Gavin turned 9 months on Saturday. To celebrate the big 9 months Gav had quite the exciting weekend. He ended Saturday and started all the fun with the beautiful sunset. He however did not even care to look and see it of course, but it was quite amazing.

We then had a wonderful mexican fiesta at Roberto's. Gavin loves their rice and beans.

The celebrating continued with a trip to Sweet Republic for some amazing ice cream, one of Gav's favorites.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.

Look at the sweet butter caramelly face.

And yesterday we had one more special event planned . . .
Gavin and I got the opportunity to go to the Cardinals opening football game, thanks to Graunt Kathy & Gruncle Pauly.

Gavin had so much fun. He loved it. And he screamed and cheered right along with all the fans.

He also found this ledge that was perfect Gavin size, to stand and watch the game.

And he learned to, or should I say, finally figured out how to clap. It was so cute, he was then so proud of himself, he hasn't stopped.

Pounding and cheering on the Cards.

So cute, he leaned in for the pic.

Taking in all the fans, all the noise, and all the exciting lights.

We had amazing seats in the "Lofts" or better known as suites.

The stadium was packed, a sold out game.

Thanks for the wonderful game Gruncle Pauly.

And just a little video of Gavin's new trick. Of course when I got the camera out, he wouldn't do it as much, but here's a little clip.

Day Trippin to Tucson

Yesterday we took a little day trip to Tucson to visit Uncle Reid and watch his team, the Tucson Toros, in a friendly game of baseball.

Gavin enjoyed himself in the car eating and drinking, eating and drinking . . . the two fisted drinking . . .
some more eating . . .

and shoveling and eating . . .

We enjoyed some wonderful food (pizza and sandwich and amazing gelato), fellowship (with Uncle Reid), and fun. Gavin thought the sun was way too bright to look at the camera.

After Reid left for the game we did a little exploring in Tuscon, and found the Mission San Xavier del Bac.

We then grabbed some dinner and headed to the game. Gav was quite tired, but stayed awake the whole time until we left. He was a very good boy.

Looking a little sleepy but don't worry it didn't stop Gavin he kept on going and going . . . and

going . . . and going.

Labor Day Weekend!

It took a couple of days to get the pics up, but we had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. The Floch's came to town, yah! Pop & Grammy, Auntie Mandy & Uncle Cam all came for a wonderful weekend of visiting with Gav. We had a lot of fun relaxing, a little birthday celebration for Pop's at Habanero's with some carnitas and sopapillas, some pool time, bbqing, shopping, playing games, and we ended the weekend with some free Chick-fil-a. It was a lot of fun to just hang out and enjoy each others company. Gavin loved having lots of people around to play with and keep him entertained. He spent yesterday crawling around to every room fussy and crying when he found they were empty. And here are a lot of pictures for you to sort through all our fun.

The Adventures Continue . . .
