A stay-at-home weekend!!

While we had a wonderful Christmas (minus the crying) and it was great to see all our family from every direction, it was good to finally get to stay at home this weekend. Our schedules, especially feeding and nap times, had become in disarray! Gavin has also learned to be very vocal, if you will, when he wants something and doesn't get it. Sometimes it's because we say no, and other times, it's because we don't know what he wants. Not knowing what he wants, my friends, is very frustrating.

So today we thought we would take it easy and hang out together at home. Gavin kept "pushing" daddy over here. He would giggle his little heart out every time daddy "fell down."

It was very much a daddy day too. He wanted to be near him all day. He even put on daddy's gloves. Check out the hair, he must have recently taken off a hat because it is generally pretty curly.

Hmmmm, what should I draw?

Gavin has made some pretty fancy drawings on his new aquadoodle.

Somehow daddy ended up in the balls with Gavin. Careful, dad, we want this toy to last.

Uh-oh! We have an escapee!! Gavin is VERY good about making sure all the balls are in the pit. We didn't show him to keep putting them all back either...he just does it. Nice:)

He received many new cars for Christmas and has fun making them go "vroom vroom" all over. When I say all over, this includes more than just the ottoman, but also the dogs, daddy's boots and head when he is laying on the floor, and mommy's legs and behind. You can't help but laugh, but when you're trying to clean up, a little car up the backside isn't actually a helping hand. :)

This is what I love to see. Playing nicely on his rug while I take down decorations.

I don't know where you learned this little buddy, but I don't think this is the proper way to use your rocking chair. (one of these times, he is going to succeed at flipping over the bar and landing on his head)

I don't think this is the proper way either, but I suppose the chair is right-side up for once today. Be careful, son, and please turn around and sit down. Daddy, why are you encouraging such safety....

Later, he went to pull out his sleep n play all by himself. This is strange because he usually only likes it in the "couch" position.

I wish I could say this was a pleasant end to the day and he lays down and curls up for the evening...but no, this is only the first of MANY times to pull out the sofa, and put it back, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat....... But we had a good weekend! I'm looking forward to many more this year!
