Mommy is my FAVORITE!

For the past month or so, Levi and I have both said we have heard Gavin say Momma and Dada, but it wouldn't officially count until we both heard him say it at the same time. Well last night he said Momma! I was so excited! Levi agreed that it would count. So in the baby book it will be proven that he loves his mommy the best. JK :)

We went to Bentonville for Easter and Gavin got to meet his brand new cousin Camden. He is the cutest thing and so small! I can't believe it took less than a year for me to look at a newborn and not believe that Gavin was ever so little. I am glad that Gavin will now have a little playmate on Levi's side of the family.
Here he is showing some concern as Camden wasn't enjoying the little photo shoot.

Babies Need Dressing Rooms Too

So, this post is mainly complaining that the people who decide what size label to put on baby clothes need to have held an actual baby before. Either that or make a section for plus size or petite babies.
Levi and I went out to find Gavin an Easter outfit Sunday afternoon. I found a few favorites and had to pick the one that was available in Gavin's size. He will be 8 months on Monday, but is all over the board with what fits him. He got his mommy's body. Long torso and shorter legs. Today he is wearing 12 mont
h overalls with a 3-6 month shirt.
So here is why I am frustrated. In this picture are two vests with the same label of 3-6 months. The one on the left fits. The one of the right came with his Easter outfit. Is there not just a tiny bit of a difference in size??
As I was getting ready to try the outfit on Gavin, I told him not to spit up because we might have to take it back. I put on the pants, turned my head to pick up the shirt, looked back at him and he had spit up all over the pants.I guess
we are stuck with it now! Lets see if I can shrink it in the wash.
If only babies had dressing rooms too.

Little Boys and Grass Stains

Gavin has now mastered crawling and puling up. Levi and I are finding the word "no" is needing to be more commonly used now that we are entering the "getting into everything" stage.
Today has been a beautiful day so I decided to take Gavin for his first crawl in the grass. Each time he would go to put his hand down, he found it more interesting to pull up a flower, than to go forward. I did manage to get his very first little crawls outside on video. He seemed to go in slow motion trying to figure everything out. My little boy got his first grass stain! He also managed to get his first taste of grass while I wasn't looking.
The other video is of him crawling in his room. He had gone to bed for the first time the night before in mismatched jammies. A monkey shirt, alligator pants, and mismatched socks. So sorry for the fashion fopaux. :)

First Snow!

Gavin got to see his first snow! By the time we were able to go outside and play, most of it had already melted, but luckily we were able to get some pictures. The weather says it will snow again in a few days, so maybe we will get better pictures then.
