Sole Mates

Well, after months and months of putting my old gym shoes to a use for which they were never intended (ie: running) I finally found my true "sole mates." Bad pun, I know, but really, no feet were ever so happy to slip into such white-laced bliss. I'm sure it was all the sales lady at 26.2 could do to keep from giggling when I showed her my "running" shoes and asked for some help getting fitted for a new pair. To her credit, she smiled at me patiently and said "Yes, lets put your, um, "shoes" over here and we can get you into something better for your feet." So it is with a grateful heart that I put aside the loyal K-Swiss pair that got me through 10 years of dance practices and who knows how many miles, and....... Hello Saucony!

Understudy

As pointed out to me by Joanna (my mom-in-law), Gavin has become somewhat of an "understudy" to the diva of the blog (aka Aliyah). Unfortunately, this is very true, so I thought I'd give my toothy boy some screen time.

He is learning to "smile" on demand, but as you can see, we are still awaiting the arrival of bottom tooth number 4. It drives Troy crazy that his pearly whites are incomplete-looking but I think it gives him personality :)

He LOVES his dad, and is constantly mimicking him and trying to be like him. It is impossible to keep Gavin out of the garage when Troy is working on his bus, and sometimes his perserverance pays off. He'll be welding and grinding in no time! He also loves to sit wherever Troy is sitting. He will go and find himself a chair, drag it next to where Troy is sitting, and try and "hang" with his dad. So cute!

No matter what Gavin thinks though, he's still my little momma's boy!
