Dino World!

OH MY GAWD!!!!

Daddy and I went to Dinosaur World with our playgroup. I had soooo much fun looking at all the GIGANTIC dinosaurs and digging for fossils. I can't wait to go back! Here are some snapshots of my adventure filled day...

Whoa...nice teeth...

Better run away!

Conversations w/ a two year old...

Mommy: Gavin, what are you doing?
Gavin: I'm getting da Cow, Mama!
Mommy: What cow?
Gavin (pointing): Right Dere! Da Farm...
Mommy: Okay?
Gavin (pretending to hand me something): Here...
Mommy: Thanks...is he a nice cow?
Gavin: Yup... I gonna ride da cow. (Sits on the floor and pretends he is riding)

This type of conversation went on and on for about an hour tonight.
This is what I come home from work to. He is so cute... and his little mind is always all over the place!!

Imaginary Play!

Gavin is getting really good at using his imagination. He was telling me a whole story a few nights ago (half of which I could not understand) about a Purple Tiger who was hanging from a light on the ceiling and fell down but did not get hurt. Then, he said, the Tiger bit his arm and went away behind the door. Not sure where he got all that from, but it was cute! The Purple Tiger kept coming back and visiting us that night and Gavin said most of the time he was a "Nice Tiger!" I wonder what he will come up with next...

Eggstravaganza at All Childen's

My Mommy's work had an Easter event and I went with her and my Aunt Tiffy. I got to meet the Easter Bunny for the first time (I gave him a high five, but wouldn't sit on his lap) and hunt for eggs. It was my first egg hunt this year and I really enjoyed it. Aunt Tiff helped me find a lot of eggs! I also played in a small bounce house and made a bunny craft. Then I baked some cookies when I got home. What a fun day it was!

This is my pretty friend Addi giving me a hug...

Goin' for a duck...

Making a bunny...

Happy Birthday to Aunt Lora!

This is the only time I caught Gavin singing Happy Birthday on video. Every other time I tried he refused to sing, but he sang Happy Birthday to Lora all week! It's currently his favorite song!

Paci ALLLL GONE!!

I am such a big boy now that I decided to not take my "paci" anymore. One day, at Nana and Papa's house, I took a nap without my paci and I haven't needed it since. I have been without "paci" for about four days now. I replaced it with my new stuffed puppy named "Bummer!" I came up with his name all by myself. I heard Daddy saying the word "Bummer" that day and I thought it would be a good name for my puppy. Don't ya like it? I read books to my puppy every day and I tell him how cute he is all the time. I also named my smaller stuffed puppy, that "Aunt Awra" gave me, Brownie. I like to play pretend Doctor/Vet with him and I give him shots and cut his nails.

My "Silly Smile!"

Mommy has been encouraging me to use my imagination and I have sure been good at it! I cook, clean, play doctor, read, tell stories, draw pictures of birthday cakes and sing "Happy Birthday" to myself, and sometimes I pretend I am riding in my firetruck or ambulance. It is so much fun being 2! Just ask me what I did today and you never know what kind of story I will tell...one of my favorite stories to tell involves Nana, her dog little Louie and some money... ;)
