Today Gavin learned how to write the letter A. He was very proud of this and we were too! He knows all his letters and sounds thanks to Lettery Factory DVD.
A few more Gavin sayings that made me laugh today:
"Hey mommy, mommy, (sniff sniff) do you smell sometin? It smells like Hot Dogs!"
- The funny thing about that is that Gavin does not even eat hot dogs
"Daddy, help me, I am tuck, I am tuck, I can get up"
- He loves to say this on the sofa and he squeezes between the ottoman and the sofa.
We talked to cousin Coleson today on Skype.

It's Pooky out there
I love some of the words Gavin says these days. He can talk up a storm but has some difficulty fully pronouncing a few words. Here are few of my favorites:
"Mommy, it's really really pooky in there. It's really really dark"
"Look at my pie gadgets, Mommy. I have a remote control, and all these really cool pie gadgets"
"Can I ride my cooter on the sidewalk?"
"Mommy, are you working on your pooter again. Do you have to go to work?"
He also thinks many things are beautiful and lots of things are his favorite.

Getting Active
I have a new outlook on working out and I am determined to lose the weight that I gained over Xmas. Not sure how it all came on so quickly but I packed on some lbs this holiday. Guess I figured I would get fat from a baby anyhow... didn't happen..... so now I am back on the wagon. I got a personal trainer and I am motivated. I have started a group circuit training plan and it is actually fun. I am packing workout clothes and I will work out when I travel. No more flabby ass for me! So the weekend is filled with workouts I can incorporate in with family fun and I am scheduling time during the week. If people try to schedule over that time, look out. I am on a mission.
I should do a before and after photo but I don't think I want to show everyone my big arse.
Gavin is learning his alphabet thanks to a great video by Leapfrog. He knows almost every letter and how it sounds. It is really fun. He can sound out his name and points out letters all the time. When I say something like....You are a little monkey... he says... I am not a monkey, I am Gavin. He is so much fun right now.
We started putting little underwear on his stuffed animals in the hopes he will want to wear them as well. He is showing some interest now and then but not much in the potty training. In time I guess he will come around.
We went for a great hike in Avila this weekend. Found a new trail that I cannot mention because Steve wants to keep it hidden. There was no one on it. Reminded me of the trails up in the Bay Area that I loved. Great view of the ocean when you get to the top.
Steve is on his last week of break before he goes back to school. He is going to the snow with Gavin and we are meeting up in Carmel for the weekend to see Nana.

Happy New Year!
Christmas break was great and I was barely on the computer yeah! So I am back in the saddle and updating our blog. I can't post pictures since our hard drive is full. We are awaiting a 500GB external hard drive so we can post more pics.
We had a great time up at Nik's house for Xmas. Gavin hardly cared about opening presents. He must not have gotten the gift gene that I have. He was just playing around the house all morning and not paying attention to opening presents. Maybe that will change next year. We hung out for the week then made our way back to SLO and had a nice long week at home off as well. We say Elephant Seals and went to the Children's Museum. We went to the beach and the park. We celebrated New Years at home with a nice dinner. We made it to midnight but barely. We were in bed by 12:20. Sometimes it is nice to just stay home and not worry about driving.
Gavin has a bunch of funny things he is saying these days. The latest is "I'm sorry, I can't do that mommy, I am watching Backyardigans". He loves playing with his "pie gadgets" aka spy gadgets. The pie gadgets are an old cellphone, old digital address book and dead palm pilot. He is getting really good at playing by himself. It is fun to hear what he says to his little trains..."come on everybody. I got you. let's go". I have to smile when I hear some of the things he says.
We got the word factory dvd at xmas and he can sound out a lot of words. We went to the train station and there was a sign for AMTRAK. He said "AHHHHH" (sound for A), "MMMMMMM" , Tapped his toe and made a T sound, said "Pa pa pa" for R, we will work on that one, then screamed "AHHHHH" again, then said "C, C, Cold" for K. Pretty good for not being two yet.
