Life Update

So a lot has happened since our last post. We made it safely to Riverside California and are enjoying our new TWO bedroom apartment. Gavin almost sleeps through the night in his very own room, but I don't take full advantage of it, staying up too late to watch Lost (we are on season 3). Since moving to Riverside, we have met several very friendly people at church. We went to an Angel's game a couple of weeks ago with them (sadly I just noticed that my Braves will not be in the playoffs. At least it wasn't an embarrassing season this year). Gavin crawls around all day getting into everything. It makes it quite hard to be productive. I can't be on the computer when he is around because he cries until I let him "type" (he is sleeping right now). He monkey walks along everything, but hasn't felt the need to try to stand or walk on his own. He has eight teeth now and is working on eating regular foods, but that is coming along very slowly. Although he does love his yogurt melts. We realized the other day that he has grown out of all of his toys, so I quickly got on Amazon and a few new age appropriate ones should be arriving tomorrow. We are trying to decide what to have Gavin be for Halloween. A few of the costume ideas I like so far are Pooh Bear, Yoda, A pumpkin, and a monkey. Feel free to let me know what you think he should be.

Jordan goes to school everyday and works hard to provide for us. We are so happy he is our husband/dadda. Gavin is yelling about just how happy he is for dadda right now.

This is what he does when we try to get a picture of his teeth.

Angel's game

We think he looks like his cousin, Stone in this one.I think he looks like what I remember Jeremy looking like in this one.

On that stinks that he doesn't want to sleep all night quite yet. And your little cutie has more teeth than Paxton! (which isn't hard because he's getting teeth later than a lot of babies) Paxton only has 2 teeth all the way out so far. Enjoy Riverside! Kaulana misses that area.

Hooray for the update! I love all the pics...so funny when you're trying to get shots of his teeth. Why don't you guys do a quick weekend trip over this way? I don't think I can wait until Nov. Next weekend is Dallen's bday so, Paul & Alaine and Grandma B. will be in town...think about it?

I vote for YODA! Hehe. Landon is going to be a monkey too. I think it is funny that we have the same jumping station. I think it is the best invention ever!
So glad you guys are settled! Isn't it amazing when they are in another room? He is growing so fast, and he is such a cutie!
When are you coming out to VA again? Please don't tell me when Josh gets married... ;)

Yay! I'm glad to have an update. I've been wondering about you guys. Looks like Gavin is doing well. We miss you!

Rachel! I found your blog finally! Congratulations on having a baby! (just a bit late I know) haha, anyways I love his cute little cheeks, isn't the crawling stage a riot, they get into the weirdest things/ eat the weirdest things from the ground. Well have fun in Riverside!
