Play times in the sun and snow...

Gavin is pretty darn proficient on slides these days. His positions of choice are on his little tush or on his tummy. (I'm dreading the day that he tries to go head first!)

How cute are father and son here?! This was the consolation prize (a new park near our house) after driving all the way to the zoo--"cock cock" (peacock) all the way, coming from the back seat--only to find that we had arrived thirty minutes after it had closed :( We felt so bad, but Gavin seemed quite content to play at the new park and was so happy to have Daddy around on the weekend.

Gavin was initially freaked out by the merry-go-round until the big kids got off and Daddy taught him how to hold on properly (totally Brent!), at which point he wanted to stay on for the rest of the afternoon.

After the 14 inches of snow we just got here, I bundled Gavin up and took him out for a bit today. Here he is with one of his favorite buddies, Reagan, whose name he just mastered!

I was so proud of him for keeping his mittens on!!! I can't wait to take him sledding soon. Today I just pulled him around our neighbor's yard, and he was thrilled until he realized that Reagan had gone inside.
