All About Gavin

Well, hello there!  I'm sure some of you are tired of seeing the same post, posted for the last week.  We have had a very busy week- relators, celebrations, all day demonstration events, house projects, and more.  So, get ready, I'm planning/hoping on making a new post everyday to update you all on things going on in the Perry house!  

I did finally have the chance to upload pictures from my phone onto my computer that have been held hostage for the last few months.  All the pictures are random and from different events, but I still wanted to share them!

Gavin loves wearing his back packs (he has 3 of them).  We usually switch them at least once a week and he likes to put some toys in them and walk around with them on his back.  It's really cute b/c they hit his bottom when he walks and he turns around to see what's touching him.  He's gotten use to it and is very proud when he wears them!


I found this CUTE lawn chair at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago of a frog and waited until it went on sale to get it for him.  He now sits in it in the back yard with us in the evenings while we're winding down for the night!  To say he loves it would be an understatement.


HAHA! I laugh at this picture every time I see it.  This was a few months ago (hence the long sleeves), but it was his first time to ride in on of these type buggies at the store.  He thoroughly enjoyed the "ride" and stayed in the furniture store much longer than expected thanks to getting to "drive" around!  Now, anywhere we go and he sees want this is is preferred method of riding!  Just yesterday, we went to Krogers, and they have the cars attached to the end of their buggies-- he decided he wanted to ride in that!  I'm happy for him that those buggies are entertainment for him, however, getting him out of it when we were done shopping-- NOT SO FUN!  We'll have to work on that though!


This is another sweet moment picture.  A few weeks ago, I watched Gavin's friend Peyton, and we made a pallet on the floor for the kids to lay on.  For the next few days, Gavin would gather up his blankets and make his own little pallet.  If you know Gavin, you know he doesn't normally sit or lay still for much length of time, but when on his pallet, he'd stay there all day if he could.  


On our way to Gulf Shores a few weeks ago, we stopped in Lake Charles to see Audrey Kate who had come home from the hospital.  We were so excited to get to see her and hold her and kiss her!  You can see her in the background of this picture getting her diaper changed.  David is starting to walk when holding on to furniture so naturally, Gavin loved getting to hang out with David.  These two are soooo cute together!  It won't be long and they will be chasing each other all around!  


Also, on our way back from Gulf Shores, we stopped in Baton Rouge to grab a quick bite to eat for lunch.  Before leaving, we decided to take Gavin to Counter Culture, my FAVORITE yogurt shop in BR, and let him have his first Humphrey!  They are delicious!  Frozen yogurt, granola, honey, strawberry, grape, and banana! YUMMY! He loved it and was excited when we put this in front of him!


This is our child being himself.  He is such a ham for the camera.  It is now a habit for him.. the moment he sees a camera he smiles and says cheese even if the camera isn't on him!  


It's been really fun to watch his personality come out over the past few weeks.  He's talking more, repeating us with words and sounds that actually sound correct.  He has an opinion on the type of shoes he wears, has stopped drinking soy milk (sort of), and prefers regular milk with chocolate in it.  He is obsessed with broccoli and the moment he hears the bath water running he attempts to take his clothes off OR would be okay getting in the tub with all his clothes on.  He still sleeps in his crib.  Even after the day he started climbing out, he has never tried to climb out again.  He stays in his crib and calls for me when he's ready to get up.  We tried seeing if he would climb out to us this past Saturday, but he wouldn't... he looked at us and said, "No No".  At least we know he listens to us when we tell him something.  We're totally okay with him not being in a big boy bed.  We'd have to change up his room a lot (by taking out his changing table and/or rocker to fit the twin bed) and we don't want to have to do that when we're about to get our stuff packed up anyways.  As long as he isn't climbing out, we're good with the crib!  

Stay tuned for more posts this week!
