Happy Opening Day!

In our family, there is no choice but to be a Yankees fan! In honor of Opening Day and the Yankees first win of the season, Gavin was decked out!

SAFE!!

Sometimes you just need a laugh

Gavin loves to laugh at his daddy! I just love watching the two of them together!

He Makes My Day!

I swear this kid can make any face in the world and I think it's the sweetest face!

He's my favorite...

STB = Stock the Bar

What's the best kind of shower to throw for your friends who live in dry county Perryton, TX? Well, a STOCK THE BAR party of course! The Skinners, Bolens and Fischers put on a great party Friday night for our amazing friends Mitch and Liz. The party was so much fun and we had some great food and alcohol!

Mitch and Liz are getting married in Napa in May, and Eric and I are honored to be a part of it. Im especially excited to get to Napa and experience all the wine where it is actually made!

Below are a few pics from the evening.

Growing Boy: 4 month check-up

Baby Boy, you are growing growing growing! This week we had your 4 month check up and you couldn't be doing better! The doctor said you are "just perfect" which is what Eric and I tell you every day.

Stats:

Weight: 16 lb 7oz - 71%

Length: 27 in - 95% YOU ARE TALL!

Head: 17 1/4" - 81%

So the moral of the story is that you are a perfect weight for your height and you are insanely tall! Here are just a few things you can do now:

- You are amazingly alert and happy all the time. You love when someone talks directly to you and always talk back.

- You absolutely crack up at your Daddy and smile so big every time he looks at you.

- You are not afraid of anyone, nor do you show any preference to who holds you right now.

- You sleep a consistent 10 hours a night, and every day we're working towards a full 12 hours. Fingers crossed!

- You roll from front to back and back to front all the time and squirm like crazy when anyone is changing your diaper.

- Most of the time you wake up happy and talking to yourself!

- You hold onto toys and LOVE your exersaucer.

- You get to start cereal! Yay!

We couldn't be happier with our doctor or the care he gets. Gavin is in size 6-12 month clothing for the most part, and his feet are huge! We are having so much fun watching him learn something new every day!

Firsts: Cereal Time!

The dr cleared Gavin to try cereal today, and we were all for it. I have had a feeling that he is HUNGRY for a few weeks now. He stares at anyone eating and drinking and you see him start smacking his lips sometimes too!

Cereal was a success, Gavin loved it, and did such a great job keeping most of it in his mouth!

"Im ready folks!"

FOOD

You can't shovel this stuff in fast enough

"Dad I need to use my hand to help shove this stuff in!"

Yummy Yummy Cereal!

Fort Cobb Lake Weekend!

This past weekend, we planned to have a very relaxing girls (plus Gavin) weekend at Fort Cobb Lake with Mom. We ALMOST achieved that, except for the very first thing that happened was Hailey tumbled down the stairs as Cindy and I were unloading the car. We thought it was a pretty serious injury but she ended up being just fine. Cindy spent the weekend showing her the scrape and bruise while they waited for it to turn purple (Hailey's fav color).

Other than H's injury, we had a great time doing almost NOTHING! We laid around, played with the kids, made some good food, worked puzzles and spent a great afternoon on the porch playing UNO. We couldn't have asked for better weather or better company!
