I realize I still owe you all of Gavin's birthday blogs and one year stats. But the thought of sorting through all the adorable picture is daunting - I went a little overboard with my friend's fancy camera at his party so there are over 200 pictures - yikes! So in the meantime I just quickly wanted to mark the age that we officially called Gavin a walker....12 months and 2 days! Christian and I are in awe that Gavin is already a toddler....it makes us sad and proud at the same time. But I love that he's able to walk and keep up with Jack. They are already starting to play differently together - it's so cute! But I definitely have my hands full chasing them both around now!
Gav's been taking steps for a few weeks so I thought for sure he would be running around at his party. But since everyone carried him around there really was no incentive for him to walk. So of course the next day, after everyone had gone home, he just started getting up on his own and walking everywhere - without us prompting him to do so. I guess the kid just doesn't like an audience. He wanted to do it on his own and he hasn't looked back. I've been trying to get a great video of him as a fledgling walker, but he never seems to want to perform for the camera. But this video of our little naked boy gives you a good idea of how well he's doing. I think he looks like a newborn calf but we're so proud of him!
Now that Gav is walking I have to put him in shoes when we go out. But I haven't bought him any yet so in a pinch I put on a pair of Jack's old shoes - a size 6! This was the first time he's really worn shoes for walking and not just style...
Not to be outdone, Jack upped the ante with a sassy pair of shoes of his own....Batman rain boots. It was very appropriate seeing as how it was 90 degrees and sunny that day. But he loves them and wears them almost daily...
We had a fun little outing that day - I actually took the boys out for frozen yogurt since they both had shots in the morning. We ended up just hanging outside for a while and enjoying the sunshine...
And the boys chased each other around the fountain...well, Jack chased Gav, since he refused to walk in the shoes...
Jack's special yogurt combo - strawberry froyo with fruity pebbles, gummy bears, sour worms and iced animal cookies with sprinkles...yummo!
Gav and mommy share a little chocolate/strawberry goodness...
And while I'm sharing the brotherly love, I wanted to add a little photo of the boys enjoying snack time at their new kids table. They're such big boys now...
