Playwerx

Today we went to Playwerx and Gavin had a blast. They have a special little area just for toddlers and Gavin was amazing! They had these huge steps to get up to the slide and Gavin was a pro! I was worried it was too advanced for him...... some of the three year olds were struggling, but he mastered it! My little athlete.







Once he is old enough to go on the big structure unattended I can sit and enjoy some coffee, play on my laptop and relax while he plays. It is a great place!

4th of July!

Well, 4th of July was a very crazy day! We met Gavin's Nonnie and Marty at Downtown Disney for lunch where he had a lot of fun and got some adorable Nemo toys.


Then we went up to Fullerton HS so Gavin could play with Uncle David. Unfortunately Uncle David was really busy setting up for a 4th of July fair so we didn't get any pictures with him. But here he is playing with some of the flag decorations.



Afterwards we went to a birthday party for Gavin's friend Colin in Laguna Niguel. We had a great time, but unfortunately didn't take any pictures.

Izzy's Birthday Party

Gavin's friend from playgroup, Isabella, had her first birthday party today and had some animal trainers come from the Wild Animal Park with some exotics animals. Here are just a few that Gavin got to see and pet.

Gavin and Kayla

So our friends, Rich, Shana, and Kayla came over for a bbq and it was a lot of fun. We had delicious ribs salads, and strawberry shortcakes made with our hand picked strawberries. I am so glad we met them, it is great to have good friends down here is SD. Here is a cute picture of Kayla and Gavin playing with his leaptop, we may put it in their wedding slideshow (getting ahead of ourselves? Noooo....)

A Strawberry Picking We Will Go.....

Another fun fieldtrip with Carlsbad Munchkins and Mommies...... Today we went to U-Pick Strawberries in Carlsbad. Gavin had such a great time!
After watching Mommy pick some, Gavin wanted to try!


We kept the binky in his mouth to keep him from eating the unwashed berries.

He picked the strawberries all by himself and put them in the bucket! He learned how just by watching mommy a few times!

He had such a good time!


He was really good about not eating the berries, but towards the end he took out his binky to eat.... dirt? Haha
We filled our bucket about 2/3 of the way and then had to go home..... why you ask? Gavin started squishing the berries after picking them so we had to rush home and shower. Little stinkers...

Gavin loved the strawberries so much he ate 8 of them for dessert.

Another Milestone

I put on Word World for Gavin while I cooked dinner, and when I looked over the counter my mouth dropped open.

Gavin was sitting on the couch and watching TV like it was no big deal! He can get on and off the couch easily, like he has been doing it for months. He is growing up so fast!
