Papa Rick's visit

Gwydion loves it when Papa Rick comes to visit. This time, he brought a present- a big red truck just like his! Gwydion loves to play with it. He puts his cars in the trailer and drives them around.

Days like this...

make it all worth while.

Gavin is growing so fast! He's already outgrown many of his newborn clothes, and will be moving to size 1 diapers as soon as we run out of the newborn ones. Did I mention that our little turkey already weighs over 9 pounds? That means he's gained more than 2 pounds since birth. I'm telling ya, this kid knows how to eat!


Gwydion really loves his little brother, though of course he's a tiny bit jealous that Mom doesn't have quite as much free time right now.

This is the only picture I have of all 3 of them, so here they are!

Grandma Susan's visit

Gwydion loves having visitors. Especially when they bring presents! Needless to say, there was much present opening during this visit. Gwydion had a great time with Grandma Susan and Uncle Chris. He was sad when they left, and even wanted to drive to Ohio yesterday. He still remembers the number of their hotel room, and tells me about it every time we drive past. Hopefully we'll be able to visit sometime next year.

Grandma Susan's Visit

Gavin loved meeting Grandma Susan- apparently she's quite warm and snuggly, as he immediately fell asleep every time she held him. It was a very lucky thing Grandma came to visit when she did! She and Uncle Chris allowed us to crash in their hotel room, so we were quite comfortable for the week our power was out.

Gavin reclines in his bouncer. He almost likes it. Maybe in another month.

Train Show!

The weekend before last, we went to a model train show. There were models of several different scales present, as well as LOTS of Thomas stuff. Gwydion had a fantastic time. I think his favorite part was the little ride. He had never been on a ride before, let alone one he had to power himself. He figured it out very quickly though, and zoomed around the track.

2 weeks

We've made it through 2 weeks with a newborn. Yay! We're very, very tired, but Gavin is such a sweet little guy that he's made it all worthwhile. I'll get some holiday pics up soon, since I know you're all anxiously awaiting them.
