New Ride!

Gavin has a new ride! His very own....

COZY TRUCK!!!


We decided back in February that Gavin needed one of these, but we had been waiting to go pick one up until the weather improved so that we could put it together and he could enjoy it. Saturday evening we decided to run out and pick it up. We ended up not getting to put it together because we didn't make it home until it was time to get Gavin in the bath and to bed (that was because we made a stop at Cold Stone for ice cream. Win!!). So, Sunday morning when Gavin and I got up, I brought the box upstairs so we could start to put it together. Unfortunately, we ended up having to wait for Scott to get up because the construction required power tools that I could not locate. After a much longer than anticipated construction process (this thing was ridiculous and the instructions were seriously lacking!) it was finally together. Gavin was clearly pleased:


We took turns pushing him around the house in it Sunday afternoon and evening before it became an outside toy today. He loved it and hated having to come out to take naps and eat.


Today we spent a great deal of time outside because it was absolutely beautiful outside! It was sunny and 70's (reaching low 80's at one point) with a really nice breeze. Perfect weather to take Gavin out to enjoy his new ride. We stayed home instead of venturing to Valkill but he really enjoyed be pushed up and down the driveway, around the yard and sitting at the end of the driveway watching people and cars pass by.

Before we went outside, he had to see if the bed of his truck was acceptable:


Then we headed outside to check things out:


Truck bed loaded up with toys, just in case he needed something else to occupy him:


People watching... he was talking like crazy!

Gavin then required a nap, despite some protesting on his part... he clearly needed the nap because he slept for almost an hour (which is pretty much unheard of anymore) and when I went in to get him out of his crib he wanted to eat and slept for another hour! After that we went out again to enjoy some more time before we had to come in for the night (you know, to make and eat dinner and then get a bath and go to bed).

More people watching...


Completely pooped! He was sucking on his burp cloth about ready to pass out in his truck!


It was definitely time to come in after that. We had an awesome day enjoying the weather and his new ride!
