Gavin Robert Wheaton - one year later!

So I will finally write a very belated birthday story for Gavin.

On his actual birthday, his Mamaw and Grandpa (my parents) took him out to McDonalds for breakfast. They were continuing this tradition because they took Raegan there for her first birthday to let Bob and I be sick in peace. After that, we took him up to get his pictures taken. He did really well for being starving! It was 2:30 and the poor thing hadn't had any lunch yet. We did get a couple of smiles from him along with a lot of frowns and tears!

We finally made it home and Nana had left him some balloons. He played with those for a LONG time!







The next day was Saturday and his big party! We had the party at Nana and Papa's house due to our basement being destroyed still. He did very well with all of the people that he is not used to. He received amazing gifts - rocking airplane, retro rocket, 4-wheeler, clothes, toys (lots of airplanes), books, etc. Then he had his cake! He didn't just eat his cake, he savored it! I actually walked away for a couple of minutes to do something. We finally had to make him stop! He was going to be on major sugar overload!


He ended his birthday celebration with a trip to the doctor. He weighed in at 20 lbs, 12 oz and is 29 1/2 inches long. He had to get two shots, but handled them really well. My parents treated him with a trip to Chuck E Cheese with Raegan as a treat before they had to leave. He really liked the Bob the Builder ride!
