GAVIN & ZOEE
Gavin has really come to love Zoee and he can't leave her alone. She never seems to get a break these days, even when she wants to eat. She lets him pound on her and annoy her all the time and she just takes it. I guess she figures this attention is better than none. They have started to play a lot more than they used to and he thinks she is so funny. We had to move her food and water into the pantry so we can shut the door and she can eat in peace. This is him waiting patiently for her to come out and play.
HAIRCUT
Last weekend we took Gavin to Cool Cuts for Kids and got him a haircut. I didn't realize how long it was until she started to cut it all off. It was getting out of control and really hard to do anything with. He was not happy when she was cutting it, so she did it really fast. They have a lot of stuff there to entertain the kids while they sit there. She turned on an Elmo movie that was right in front of him, he got to sit in a taxi car, and she was blowing bubbles. None of this seemed to amuse him, since it was close to bedtime and he was grumpy. He looks so grown up now. It's adorable!
This is before the haircut. It is so long and messy

13 MONTHS
Gavin turned 13 months a few weeks ago and I feel like I haven't posted an update in FOREVER! I have found it very hard to find the time to blog lately, so I have some catching up to do. He is at the most fun age right now and I wish he would stay at this stage for a long time!! He has started to do a lot of new things lately and it seems like he understands a lot more about what is going on around him. Here are a couple of things he is doing:
* Started to wave . . . again
* Tries to say "doggie" It doesn't sound very clear, but he says it when he sees a dog
* Plays with Zoee a lot and they fight and play with the toys
* Opens his toy box and empties it out . . . at least twice a day
* Pulls Zoee's toys out of her basket, one by one
* Has become VERY attached to his bear stuffed animal "Mr. Bear"
* Tries to run from us
* Gets up on his Angels chair and turns the light on and off
* Still loves his lawn mower and shopping cart
* Still like to pretend to talk on the phone and play peek a boo with us
* Tries to turn the doorknobs to go outside
* Loves the new refrigerator and opens a closes the freezer door because it is on the bottom
* LOVES to lay on pillows
* Empties the Tupperware cupboard
* Pulls the clothes off the hangers in our closet and his
* Unplugs everything from the outlets and likes to carry cords around
* He likes to look at us and smile really big when he is doing something wrong
* Repeats Taylor when she says "whoa"
* Got two new teeth on the bottom
* Sticks out his tongue
* Can't get enough of the broom

GOODBYE ANITA
Nate's Aunt Anita was visiting from Florida earlier this month. Last week, we went to dinner to say goodbye to her. Thanks for visiting Anita, it is always good to see you! We hope you come back soon.
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
The day after Gavin's birthday, we went over to Nate's parents and they had a little cake to celebrate Gavin turning one!
He seemed to be more interested in the spoon than the dessert.
I can't believe we got both of them to look at the same time! Good job boys
This post is a little late, but better late than never...right?

MONTHLY PICTURES
Here are all of the pictures that we took of Gavin next to the bear every month. He has changed so much...it doesn't even look like the same baby!
THE BEACH
We went to Venice Beach and walked around for a while and waited for the sunset. There were a lot of freaks doing weird things along the boardwalk. We ate and waited for the sunset to try and get some pictures. Of course, by the time the sunset came, Gavin was tired and really over the camera. We brought a big cupcake for him to eat on the beach.
ZOO
We took Gavin to the Zoo and the beach for his birthday. It was really hot, so we didn't stay long. We walked through and saw the monkeys and the birds and then we headed to the beach. He liked staring at the monkeys. I don't think he could figure out what they were.
WALKING
We went to the Mission Inn for brunch on Sunday and we got a lot of pictures of Gavin walking. I can't seem to get enough of these pictures because they are so adorable. He is already getting so much more stable, even after just a week. He loves to carry things while he walks, especially Zoee's toys and stuffed animals.
