18 months for Gavin, Aunt Britty visits and Early Mommy’s Day

So, on April 21st, Gavin turned 18 months but he just had his doctors appointment today so technically I guess I am not late.  Just waiting to get the facts.  He had one shot and screamed his head off so I just ran out of there with half his clothes still off to spare everyone.  He weighs 26 pounds and 12 ounces 32 inches tall.   He was saying “Bye” to everyone at the doctors office when they were going or we were going.  He has a southern twang to that “bye” too!!

Here is our #1 second son! We are trying out the cloth diapers to cut down on buying disposables.  Maybe once I get the hang of them I can go full force., we’ll see.

I think Easton must be doing that early teething! Most of the time he has his whole hand in there!

On Wednesday we celebrated Mothers Day from Brad and the boys! He left Thursday morning to drive cross country with Billy to move their cars here.  Devon and the kids are getting settled already in Annapolis, Maryland and we are so excited to have them closer to us.

Bradley giving me my card from all of them.  Brad wrote something really sweet and helped Bradley write his name and draw a fierce LION.  Bradley is really into pretending to be a lion all the time.  He also made me a candle holder  with his fingerprints on it from school that was so cute!

Aunt Brittany had a random opportunity for work to come to Pinehurst.  We were so thrilled when we got the call.  She was here for two night and we had so much fun doing sister stuff like old times and Brad and the boys loved having her here!
