"what do we do with a little bubba-loo?"

Is it just us, or do you also find it hard to believe that Gavin is almost 10 MONTHS?! We continue to be amazed by the constant changes he's making. Two weeks ago, he was just crawling a little. Now he's following us around the house and can easily pull himself up to stand! We have multiple baby gates up throughout the house, the outlets are covered, electronics are out of reach, and the cords are wrapped up; but every time we turn around, we see something else that needs baby-proofing. (Like the stupid doorjam that pinched his chubby little finger and made him cry big baby tears and bury his face in my neck because the world no longer made sense.) He's such a sweet little tough guy. He squirms and squeals with giggles when Paul plays Chase-the-Baby or Get-That-Belly (we hope to get video documentation of this). And I love that I can say "give Mommy kissy" and he'll plant a big slobbery one on my face.

Anyway, here are some pictures from the last week or two.


we have big eyes

always the shy guy around pretty girls (his little friend, Madison)

If he keeps taking my toys, does it mean he likes me?

moving in for a kiss on Mommy's cheek

Oh Mommy, you are SO funny

Madison taking things into her own hands and making a move

who can resist an Irishman?

what Cheerio?

I can stand!

that's right, 4 on the bottom + 4 on the top = EIGHT teeth!
