Big One, Big Fun!

We celebrated Gavin's first birthday party on April 24, 2010. The forcastors called for some bad storms, but through God's good grace, they held out:) We had family and close friends join us. We served portillo's beef sandwiches and hotdogs and a bunch of homemade sides...yum! The cake was decorated like the invites with cute bugs, and was by far the best cake I have ever eaten!! Gavin must have thought so too, because he tore that bad boy up! It was awesome. I don't think there was any part of that cake left intact at the end of it. The kids played at the centers mommy created and had the choice to make a rock bug, a bug box and find hidden bugs in the grass with the bug tongs supplied, and create a mud cup.
Our little guy is getting so big these days. He has a good five to seven teeth....I can't get in there much to feel around without him screaming or biting down, so I'm more than happy with guessing! Not only does he eat all sorts of table foods, but he does a great job of using a fork and a spoon! He mimics a lot of what big brother does. He carries on little mumbles of conversations with us, understands no and will even shake his head yes when asked if he wants something. He knows where his belly, eyes, teeth and ears are located, and can say/repeat about 20 words currently.
Easton is the big boy around the house, but doesn't always like to be. It is hard, because sometimes I wonder if we are expecting too much of him. He is looking forward to mommy being off of school, and all of the fun things we talk about doing this summer. He is becoming an adventurist! He took to the powerwheels jeep like nothing, zooming in between mommy and daddy's car without so much as a flinch. Can't say we are not flinching!
Baby #3 is growing nicely! We just last week had our 5 month ultra sound, and from what we saw, everything with the heart looks good! It is a beautiful baby and it's profile looks so much like Gavin's ultrasound profile! Wonder if they will resemble each other?? Only time will tell!!
