Day trip to Capitola

It was a beautiful day today so we decided that we would take Grandma and Gavin to the beach! (It was the first time either of them had been to this beach!) Capitola is one our favorite beach towns, and it always so much fun. We spent the day downtown having lunch outside, shopping, and walking along the beach. We love this town! Gavin was good as gold (as always) and took a little nap while we walked around. We can't wait to take him here during the summer when he can play in the sand and ocean:)

So many outfits!

We laugh about how Gavin has SO many clothes, yet sometimes I dress him in PJ's or very comfy clothes instead of his "outfits." Mom and I were about to take him for a walk and decided that he looked pretty funny in this outfit. Train sweater, striped doggie pants, skater boy hat, and blue bib...He is so darn cute in whatever he has on:)

Gavin and Nicholas

We had Laura and Nicholas (9 months) over to play. Gavin used to be so much smaller than Nicholas, but he is catching up! They are so cute together! Nicholas has started getting jealous when Gavin has a toy he wants...and same with Gavin (Gavin just gives him mean looks) what!!!??? I can't believe that they are getting this old!!!

Poor Arnie!

Gavin has taken a pretty big interest in Arnold the cat...every time G sees Arnie walk by, he starts to flap his arms and kick his legs in anticipation of getting to "pet" him. The other night G was on the ground trying to "get" Arnie and he did a complete push up on all fours (last pic). I think he may be crawling sooner than we thought!

Grandma and Gavin

Sorry I have not updated that much lately, we have been busy! Mom got here last week and we have been having so much fun with her here:) She has been watching G while I have been working...and he is so in love with her...it's pretty cute! I promise to take more pictures and give some more updates soon...just trying to enjoy the time Mom is here with us!

Sweet Potato

At dinner tonight we decided to give Gavin his first taste of sweet potato. We had a VERY yummy dinner of honey-soy glazed salmon and ginger spinach salad...Mom made it and we DEVOURED it! (Maybe its been a while since we had such a good dinner...I have been slacking in this department since I went back to work!) Gavin was not very sure about the potato, as you can see in the pictures. He made some very funny faces and then he even gagged a few times. I am pretty sure this means he is not ready for this stuff yet;) I think his favorite part was getting to hold the spoon and chew on it, go figure. We will keep trying, but for now I think he is not very interested!

Here comes the sun

I was lucky to be off work today, so we took full advantage of the beautiful day! Gavin slept the entire night before so we were ALL very well rested. We started the day being pretty lazy and just hung around in our jammie's.

At about 11 we got dressed and took the new BOB out for a walk. The BOB is Gavin's new jogging stroller, and it is SO so fancy. We call it his Cadillac. It is the best jogging stroller (for Derek, I don't run, HA!) and is so smooth. It is also great to take for walks. We have gone on a LOT of walks lately! It was not cheap, but now that we have it I will tell anyone that it is TOTALLY worth the money! I really wanted to buy one used, but could never find one! I started looking on Craigslist when I was PREGNANT, but nothing ever came up. I come to find out that everyone who has one LOVES it and never gets rid of it. I swear this is not an advertisement! If you are looking for a jogger, THIS is the one! One more thing. It also has an attachment so that you can put your infant car seat in it. PERFECT!

We ended up going for a walk to the new Mojo Burger down the street...and sat outside on the patio for lunch:)
