Happy 8th Birthday to my SON!♥!

Its hard to believe that 8 years ago today, I was in labor with my first son!
Gavin Connor was born at 4:13 pm, weighing 9 lbs. 0 oz and was 19 3/4 in. long!
I had about a 12 hour labor with him and was almost 2 weeks past due! YIKES!
That lil bun sure loved his momma's oven and did not want to come out!!
The pic above was of Gavin at 1 1/2 months!


This chubby cheeked big eyed baby boy was almost 3 months in this pic below!
It IS SO amazing how much they change!!

Here is my baby boy at almost a year and a half; enjoying some cake maybe?
He was a good boy and wore his bib; unlike his lil brother!! LOL


Here is Mr. Smiles at age 2! This was his signature smile: a big cheese with his front teeth sticking out and his eyed almost squinted closed! He did this smile for another 2 years in photos!


Here is Gavin at Christmas time when he was 2 1/2!
So cute; I just love that giant gingerbread cookie prop!


Gavin is 3 in this pic and is lounging in the hotel waiting area on one of our trips!
This lion, who he calls LION has been his PAL since he was 1 year old!
Gavin still sleeps with it today:)


Here is my Lil' Slugger during his first summer of t-ball at age 4!
He spent more time playing in the dirt than trying to learn the game!!


Here is Gavin at 6 years old with Papa and Gage!
He is such a loving boy (when he wants to be!)


Here is big bro at 6 1/2! He really loved to play with his baby brother!
Now that Gage is bigger, Gavin views him as a nuisance!
Poor Gage! All he wants to do is BE JUST LIKE his big brother!


Here is my handsome boy last summer when he got his 7 year pics taken!
I kept telling him to do his "stud muffin" pose and this is what he did!


I am very proud of this lil guy!
He is so smart and funny!
He gets my dorky jokes now and cracks me up too!
He is a great friend to others and is a kind soul!
I am VERY PROUD to be his momma!

Happy Birthday Son; I LOVE YOU!!!
