He likes the Superman Cape...just not the whole suit!

Bradley's Pumpkin

So, this Halloween Mimi and Dunka were visiting. It was Bradley's first year trick or treating door to door. Dont ask me why I never took him last year. It worked out b/c Mimi and Dunka stayed home and snuggled with Gavin and it was like old times just mommy, daddy and bradley. With Mike, Liz and sophia too. He was supposed to be Superman with big muscles but he freaked out and cried like a baby and didnt want anything to do with it. I think he felt uncomfortable with the big muscles sticking out or the way they felt even though I did put a shirt under. Oh, well. We werent going to traumatize him or force him just for Halloween. A holiday that of course I dont believe in we just participate for fun for the kids. So, I rigged a last minute penguin costume which was his knitted hat that he has so many pictures in. im sure you will recognize it. He loved trick or treating and only said "trick-or- treat" at the first couple houses then his classic phrase became "Hey, can we have some more candies, please!" at least he added the please! So, here are the pics that LIz has been waiting for. I captured the cutest photos while she had gone back inside to grab a flashlight.

Like Father, Like Son...Vroom Vroom

This past weekend, Bradley and Gavin's grandparents came to visit and meet Gavin for the first time! We were so excited to have them just be here and hang out! Brad and his Dad got to spend quality time dirt bike riding and mom and I went SHOPPING, of course! Bradley just loves his Mimi and Dunka very much. They laugh and play and laugh some more. We miss you both and see you again soon!

Gavin's Newborn Pics

Yesterday Gavin had his first photoshoot. Here are just a few that Michelle sent me to preview. Gavin was supposed to be sleeping for the whole thing but like one of the meanings of his name...he was alert! Im typing with one hand now feeding him so I am going to keep this short. Happy Halloween! Be safe everyone.

Peek- A - Boo Baby Brother

Today was gavins first doctors appointment since being out of the hospital. He checked out perfectly! He is already growing weighing in at 9 lbs 1oz. from his 8-12 at birth! Go Gavin! We are just having so much fun getting aquainted with our new little boy. bradley loves him and says "hes cute" all the time. When he moves his arms around Bradley says "hes hitting again mommy!" or he uses punching. Bradley is my official "pacifier sticker inner" when Gavin is crying from a sponge bath or diaper change. he just doesnt like to be cold or unbundled! I am doing good...sometimes I try to do too much and then I get hit with an overwhelming feeling of being tired but its all OK. Brad has been an amazing help and we have friends who are bringing us meals this week and next. It has been a major blessing to not have to plan, make and clean up meals. Everything is so appreciated! Here are some pictures of Gavins first week, tomorrow he is 1 week old! Ps- As Im sitting here Bradley just said "I love him daddy!" How precious to have such wonderful boys! I am one truly blessed mom!

Gavin and Bradley

A new buddy ! Let me Poke him!
So Proud!
"What do we do with him?"
Tickling his Toes
Giggles for Gavin

We made it home from the hospital Thursday evening! Bradley couldnt visit Gavin in the hospital to meet him so Brad and Bradley picked us up curbside! When Bradley saw him when we opened the car door to put him in his seat he said "Baby brother! Hes cute!" Then randomly he said he was "smart" too and as he noticed he was sleeping as we pulled away Bradley decided to whisper without us asking him too, he said "hey, hey, daddy....we have to be quiet because baby brothers sleeping!" Isnt he so thoughtful! Im wondering where that moment went now since weve been home, haha! Hes been a little rambunxious and we are trying to teach him all about having a baby in the house! I know its because he is overly excited. He giggles alot when he looks at him and thinks he is just so fascinating! Here are a few pics of them meeting up close for the first time :)

Baby Gavin

I went over to see Brad and Emily tonight and everyone is doing great. Gavin was sleeping for a while but then perked right up. He was smiling and making all kinds of sweet faces. They should be able to be home tomorrow night and I sure Emily will have more to say. I do have some pictures for you.

Gavin Thomas Woodward

They are so happy to have their new baby boy.

Daddy's second #1 son!!

Gavin Is Here

Gavin Thomas Woodward was born today at 2:32 pm. He is 8 lbs 12 oz. Big Boy!! Brad said that Emily and the baby are doing great. I am sure they are tired, she is feeding him now. Brad said it looks like another red headed baby!! So cute. I am going to try to go by there tonight but the hospital has a lot of restrictions about visitors because of the swine flu. I will see what I can do, but if not I will get some tomorrow when they come home.

Bradley is doing great, Mike just got home and we are going to take them to the park.

Congrats and we are so happy for you guys!!
