Cuddly and Huggly

Gavin gets very cuddly when he first wakes up from his naps, especially his afternoon nap! Here's a video of him rolling around on our bed and eventually coming to me for cuddles. He LOVES our bed and the pillows!

He also decided to play peek-a-boo one day, so I got a quick video of that. It's the first time he's actually initiated the game.

We were able to make it out to the playground one day and he enjoyed the swings again. He's still too little for the other playground equipment but the swings are great fun!

Now that he is pulling himself up and cruising around on the furniture, Gavin loves to pull things off tables. One day he got the wipes and crawled around with one in his hand for awhile. Then he stopped at his high chair and it looked like he was trying to clean it!

We were also able to talk to Daddy again this week!! They pulled into a different port in Japan and had a few days to get off the boat. I didn't get any video or pictures this time but Gavin was very happy to talk to his Daddy again. Hopefully this means that he won't cry when Daddy comes home this time!

Carlton will be home to help out when the movers come in April and help get the dogs situated at the kennel as well. We plan to have the dogs stay at the kennel here on Guam for about a month after we leave and then they will fly to the east coast. Hopefully we will get into military housing by the time the dogs arrive. They will be flying into Boston. Since Edge's kennel is so big, he will only fit on certain planes and the Boston airport is the closest to CT that will accommodate those larger planes. My truck will be turned over to the vehicle shippers a couple days before we leave and we will have to get over to Baltimore to pick it up. It's the closest port to Connecticut for military vehicles or maybe all vehicles, I am not sure. Either way, we have to go to Baltimore to get the truck.

Needless to say we will be fairly busy in April! For now, I am getting ready for Gavin's first birthday!! I am getting him a smash cake and can't wait to see how he reacts. Hopefully I will get a good video of it!
