First Sign of Spring!

Its 71 degrees today -- unseasonably warm. Everyone is outside, so Gavin went to the park, too.

Crawling (sort of)

At long last, Gavin has started to propel himself around. He hasn't figured out that bending his knees will help, so he does something that looks like breakdancing. It looks very tiring! We can hear him huffing and puffing...

Gavin's First Birthday!

Gavin's birthday is actually on Monday but we celebrated a day early over dimsum.

Gavin and Daddy have matching hats!


Here's the sweater Nonny knit for Gavin. Its titled "first snow" but it has snowed *lots* of times already!

Bath time...

Visitors!

Gavin's grandparents have been here -- and his grandaunt Shirley came to visit too! Nonnie arrives on Saturday to celebrate Gavin's first birthday.

Here are some pics:

First Word

Gavin uttered his first word today. No, it wasn't "mama" or even "dada." It was an order (he knows who now runs the Hayes household) -- "MORE." As in, give me more food. Now.
