Audra 2 Months & Funny Gavin

First we have some pictures of the hillarious Gavin. He had just woken up from a nap, hence the crazy hair, and had shoved a whole pack of gushers in his mouth. Too funny.

And then we have the lovely Audra and her 2 month pictures.

Catching Up.

Alright are you ready for some catching up. Here it goes . . .

Audra lounging around, Kevin and I were joking that she has an old man smile right now, but its too so cute.

Gavin has been working hard at his baseball skills.

Look at that form, makin' daddy proud.
Taking a little break for some modeling.

Back to the baseball, we're still working on the timing of the swing.

On Monday we went with some friends to theArizona Science Center. Gavin is a little young to understand why the exhibits work the way they do but he still has way to much fun. Gavin's favorite exhibit is called Forces of Nature, where you stand on this platform and it plays video of natural disasters on giant screens , while making you feel what it would feel like to experience the disasters. He loves, it kept going back for more. You see a hurricane and feel wind and rain, you see an earthquake and the ground shakes. As you can see Gavin thinks its great, for a lot of kids it actually scares them, but not Gavin.

Feeling the rain.

This was the 2nd or 3rd time Gav was watching the show and Audra was sleeping so I was sitting with the stroller. Gavin ran on up and stood in the middle of everyone and still enjoyed it just as much.

This was Gavin's other favorite exhibit. It was a magnetic wall where you could move the tubes to let the balls run down. He thought it was great and would jump around and laugh. Too funny.

Everyone else was enjoying watching Gavin just as much as the balls because he was getting so excited.

This face cracks me up.

We also did lots of building with different blocks.

Then Gavin worked with gears.

One of Gavin's other favorite things to do these days is to hold Audra. He is so cute and protective while holding her.

Kisses.

This one cracks me up because of how he is holding her head.

Kisses on the hand.

Look at that smile.

Audra is 2 Months Old

Today we took Audra to the doctor for her 2 month check up. Besides being beautiful, strong and healthy she weighed in at 12 lbs (78th percentile) and measured 25 inches (99th percentile) in length. Gavin at 2 months was 13lbs and 24 1/2 inches in length.
(I wanted to apologize for the lack of photos this week, we have been having internet trouble. Needless to say I have lots of pictures to post in the next couple days. So check back tomorrow.)

Birthday Wishes!

Today we want to wish Gruncle Paul a wonderfully HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We hope you have a wonderful day.

(We had the chance to celebrate with the Birthday Boy this past weekend.

We had quite a wonderful mexican fiesta and then enjoyed some amazing desserts while Paul taught Gavin some new dance moves.)

Catching Up.

Here are some pictures from our week.

Gavin loves Audra and taking care of her and holding her. The other day he brought me went and sat on the couch and grabbed the boppy pillow and put it around his waist and started saying "bebe" "bebe". When I let him hold Audra I put the boppy around his waist, that way she lays on the pillow and he just holds her head up, so it was cracking me up when he got himself all ready to hold her. So here is Gavin holding Audra. He is always so proud of himself when he gets to hold her. Too funny. Love that face.

I think Audra is questioning my judgment in letting Gavin hold her.

Audra's mouth cracks me up in this picture, because of his milk stained tongue.

"Cheese"

As we all know Gavin loves his cell phones, so he has started training Audra in that same love. He would put the phone up to Audra's ear and the gingerbread man up to his ear and have a conversation with her, it was hillarious.

Audra was not so sure about Gavin touching her face.

The other day I was taking pictures of something else and Gavin ran over and sat in the chair and said "cheese". He has a few favorite words that he says all the time, "cheese" being one of them. So funny story from the other day, I was not planning on going anywhere that day and it was late morning and Gavin was getting restless. He is quite the social boy these days. So he kept bringing his shoes over to me and shoving them in my face and Audra's face begging me to put them on him, he says, "shew" "shew mama shew". When I was done feeding Audra I put his shoes on. He then went and found my flip flops and brought them over and put them on my feet, and went the diaper bag and grabbed the keys. He then heading toward the garage was saying, "keys mama key bye bye. bye bye mama bye bye." He apparently had different plans than me, he was ready for us to hit the town.

What a cutie!

Audra's First Swim

Today we had the chance to visit Graunt Kathy and her lovely pool in our efforts to stay cool. Gavin was able to relax and enjoy himself much more this time. He also found a fun new place to play in the water.

He had so much fun playing in the fountain.
Audra also had her first swim in the pool, well she didn't actually swim, but she did sit in the water for a little while. And she seemed enjoy herself, as well as Gavin loved her being in there as well.

Gavin loves his sister so much and is so very protective of her.

All tuckered out from a hard swim at the pool.

And look at that adorable swim suit from Auntie Mandy (thanks again)!

National Cheesecake Day!

I'm not sure if you were all aware, but Friday was National Cheesecake Day! And you all know how much we love cheesecake, so it was defiantely a day for celebrating. So in honor of NCD, we went to Cheesecake Factory (where they were having half off cheesecake in honor of the special day, woohoo!).

I think this may have been Gavin's first taste of cheesecake and needless to say he of course loved it. Although I think that he enjoyed the whipped cream a whole lot more.
