Gaviota Gavin

Gavin took Plants vs. Zombies fruit snacks and positioned them like he would in the game! March 12.

I found this on the morning of March 15.  So cute!! He was reading to his little brother!

March 16.  He wouldn't let me take a picture, so I took it of his key ring.  He reached 125 miles!

March 23: He got his first pair of glasses!  It's crazy that his prescription went from -.25 to -1.5 in just eight months!  We are now trying him on an eye drop that slows down the changing of the eye in 75% of patients.  Otherwise, the ophthalmologist says he is on the fast track to having a worse prescription than I did before LASIK. 

I let the boys run on the track after I finish my workout on Tuesday nights.  March 31.

He was proud to make this from model magic. April 1.

He was proud of his design on his dessert on April 4!!!

Cutie Colin

Colin playing with my giant Piglet that is as big as him!!!

Colin meeting Uncle Lee and Aunt Staci's dog, Triton.  

Utah Trip Day 2

Sleeping in a hotel can be hard since you are all in one room.  Gavin was nice enough to give Colin some books to read, though!

Swimming with cousins!

Big Helper & Reader

I got Colin to take his diaper to the pail!

Reading his airplane book!

So cute!

My Little Readers!

Gavin was showing this book to his brother!  I thought it was cute.  In this picture, he's trying to keep Colin from grabbing it, though.  Colin's not so delicate with books. 

My cuties!

Gavin put the watermelon in front of himself as if to say, "It's all mine!" He even grabbed a spoon!

Found Colin like this when I went to check on him.  Thought it was hilarious.  He can move those covers any way he likes!

 

Gavin wanted me to take a picture of our two butterflies in our The Very Hungry Caterpillar books.

My Little Readers!

Gavin is reading Shark vs. Train.  It's one of his favorites.

 

One of the things Colin likes to do is look through the books.  He especially likes this book with the flaps. 

Plugging in

Gavin was pointing the cord in holes in the books. I thought it was cute. Philip took the pictures and was having fun playing with the settings on the camera.

Playing Colin-Style & Reading Gavin-Style

Colin was playing with the top in his own way. He was putting it upside down so it would spin down and he would watch it.





Gavin was reading with Colin! I love how he is willing to teach his brother and do things with him (not that he doesn't have his bad moments with his brother--he hates it when Colin tries to dismantle his tracks!!!)



Colin was getting tired of having a long distance relationship with the book. He loves the touch and feel books.



I had Gavin show Colin how to feel the book.





Our reading of the baby books to Colin has brought Gavin's attention back to them. He opened up this book and started "reading" it. He said, "Once upon a time..."



I tried to have him "read" the book again, but he wouldn't cooperate. I thought that it was cute, anyway.

My Cuties!

A fairly common sight in our house. He LOVES his comfort items!





My cuties in the crib!



LOVE Colin's foot in this picture!





I think it's so sweet that Gavin loves his brother and asks to hold him still.





Look at the adoring look Colin is giving his brother.





Gavin rediscovered this book while I was packing for our vacation and shared it with his brother. What a sweetheart!
