While he doesn’t officially turn three until the 19th, we had Gavin’s birthday celebration this past Sunday. Nothing too extravagant, just some friends over at the park and some treats back at the house. In fact, as I looked at last year’s album, it looks like a carbon copy (except everyone is a little bigger). Speaking of which, this year’s photos are all HERE.

This boy is really something else. He is a little conversationalist, mostly on subjects he learns to repeat from his big sister. He absolutely, positively has to do everything for himself, even if he lacks the understanding or skillset of the task at hand. He is an adventurer and a daredevil and has the bruises and lumps to prove it. Thankfully his wounds are always cured by a quick kiss from mom or dad. He excels at everything he does, including gymnastics and basketball. If that weren’t enough, he’s just the cutest little boy you have ever seen. I mean really! Even when he whines and complains (which is not a rare occurrence these days) he just looks so darn sweet while he’s doing it.
