I'll try to recap the last 8 exciting months! The biggest event of course is Gavin's birth. Does any mother ever forget that day? I remember we had Pizza for dinner! Gavin entered the world and remained nameless for 12 long hours. Of course we had visitors a the whole day and just couldn't decide. Once he was named of course everyone LOVED it!
The next six months were spent with lots and lots of family time! We certainly enjoyed most of that time. I still can't get use to 2:30am wake up calls! We did take advantage of the time by visiting friends and family. One highlight was our trip to the Detroit Zoo. Sammie loved every moment and the bonus we got to see Jon, Roberta and little Avery.
We certainly did lots of normal family things like visiting the state parks with Grandpa, dance recitals and playing soccer at the Y with Colin.
This was the weeking mommy wouldn't leave Muskegon! We ended up staying with Grandma and Grandpa for 4 days. Oh it was fun time. I'm sure my parents we ready for us to go home.

Gavin was doing a lot of sleeping and growing during all of this. Mommy was stressing out because of course Gavin is so different from Samantha. I was of course worried I was breaking him. He's a strong little guy who loves to play and more than anything lights up when his sister walks into a room. Of course she commands attention but he is more than willing to provide her with all of his! He's now 8 1/2 months old and almost walking. He's been teething since he was about 4 months old with no teeth yet! We keep saying any day now...mommy is really kind of scared for that day but it's coming.
Just 8 months old here at cousin Isabelle's 1st birthday party.
Just had to add this one the three cousins.
Samantha, Riley and Brock I could just squeeze them all!
Okay until next time which I will try not to make more than 8 months away!
