Gavin is standing up by himself. He would get so excited that he would start waving his arms and fall over.

Abbey and Gavin both finally looking at the camera at the same time. It took about 6 tried before they both were looking.

Abbey and Gavin again

Abbey and Gavin hugging eachother.

Gavin climbed into the bottom of the shelf in the dining room this morning and was having a great time. He didn't like it too much when I pulled him out and blocked it off so he couldn't get back in there.

Gavin giving Abbey a nice kiss on the cheek.

Gavin trying to makeout with Abbey.

Gavin trying to climb on Abbey.

Gavin for church Sunday night for Jaydin's baptism. The hat didn't even make it out the door on his head as he figured out how to take it off.

Abbey for church Sunday night for Jaydin's baptism.

Abbey on Sunday morning for church. I curled her hair and it turned out really cute.

Abbey in her pool.

Abbey and Gavin in their pools(yes we have separate pools for the kids for a reason). Abbey's water was colder than Gavin's and she kept throwing water from her pool on Gavin and he would freak out because it was soo cold.

So Matt pulled out the kids pools on Friday to clean them out from being in the shed all fall and winter and Abbey freaked out that we weren't going to let her go in the pool and that Daddy was only cleaning them out. Needless to say, after dinner Matt put the kids in their pools after we spent a lot of time putting hot water in with the cold water so that they wouldn't freeze.

Gavin and all the toys

Gavin amongst all his toys and Abbey's clipos, which Abbey so nicely dumped out for him.

I cut Abbey's hair last week Tuesday as she twists her hair into knots and then pulls them out. So she had some really short pieces on the left side of her head and I evened the rest of her hair out and put layers in.

Abbey and Gavin were supposed to be looking at me but the TV was more interesting.

Abbey in whiny mode:) Couldn't resist taking a picture of her face

Abbey wanted to lay on the floor like Gavin because he had her book.

Flashback

Abbey isn't the slightest bit interested in Nikki(only the buttons on Leisha's bed)

Dwight holding Abbey and Nikki at the hospital the day Nikki joined the family of girls:)

Gavin showing his two front teeth:)

Abbey in the bath

Abbey and Gavin in the bath again:)

Abbey giving Gavin a kiss

Gavin is starting to pull himself across the floor to get places or if he gets tired of that, he rolls where he wants to go.

I'm trying to get Gavin to drink his bottle by himself as he would rather us feed him. He did pretty good with holding the bottle while my scarf was under it.

Gavin trying to give Abbey a kiss

Abbey and Gavin on the couch

Gavin pulling his normal face. He constantly says OOOO.

Abbey wanted a picture because I was taking one of Gavin

Gavin was having a great time pulling on Abbey's dress. It didn't make her very happy though:)

Abbey and Gavin together on the couch right before putting Gavin in his carseat

Gavin in his Easter clothes. He looked really pretty as Abbey kept saying. She didn't quite understand that boys aren't pretty-they're handsome.

Here is Abbey Easter Sunday morning for church. She was really excited to be able to wear her pretty flowergirl dress again.

I put curlers in Abbey's hair for Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, they didn't last the whole night in her hair. She wouldn't go to sleep because she wasn't used to them and kept saying that her head hurt.

Gavin just being really happy-which is quite normal unlike his sister

Gavin riding on the little car that Abbey got for her first birthday from my parents.

Gavin on the zebra by himself :)

Abbey and Gavin on the Bounce and Spin Zebra. I put Gavin on and Abbey had to be on it too as it is hers and she didn't like that Gavin was on it.











Okay so we have the computer back now. We ended up with a virus on the computer and couldn't use it for a few days and then had to bring it away for a couple of days to get fixed. But we are back and working great now. Hopefully, it stays this way. (I won't get my hopes up)

It has been a while

Abbey with Cooper(my sister's dog)-they are in Gulf Shores and we are taking care of their dog

Gavin is working on getting better at going from sitting to his knees. He will probably be crawling soon.

Abbey giving Gavin a kiss in the bath

Last week Monday, my mom and I went with a group form church to see the butterflies at Frederick Meijer Gardens

Gavin with a mohawk after his bath

Abbey eating her favorite lunch-a lunchable of ham, cheese and crackers

Gavin holding my Mountain Dew

Gavin and Abbey with their Luveys

Abbey talking to Gavin while he is sitting in the highchair waiting for me to come and feed him

Abbey and Gavin looking cool in their hats and sunglasses

Abbey was being Abbey and wanted her winter hat on even though it was 60 degrees outside.

Abbey wanted Gavin to wear her other hat-sad thing is-it fits Gavin's head better than Abbey's

Abbey and Jaydin

Gavin and Jaydin

We are trying to get Gavin to feed himself his bottle(he is a little stubborn)

Abbey and Gavin in the bath

Abbey holding Gavin-but really she just is trying to keep her train away from Gavin

He is a very happy boy and a lot of fun

Gavin was trying to get a drink from Matt's pop-everytime Matt would pull the cup away Gavin would reach for it again and put his mouth on the cup

A girl from my work gave me her daughter's old Backyardigans costume-Abbey loves to put in on and wear it around the house

Gavin eating his first Biter Biscuit-he loved it and was biting chunks off of it

Gavin in the bath before he was sitting up really good

Gavin was getting sleepy sitting on the couch next to Matt

















Sorry for the delay in posting again-we were without internet for a couple of months and we finally got it back again. I hope that these pictures have caught you up on what has happened in our family in the past couple of months. Gavin is about to get his first tooth-which is early for my family. Abbey didn't get her first tooth until after her first birthday. Two of my sister's kids were the same way. So for Gavin to be getting a tooth at 8 months is nothing short of a miracle for us:) I hope you enjoy the pictures and I promise that now that we have the internet back, I will be more faithful with updating.
