Two Special Boys

Before I was a mommy, I was an aunt.  In fact, I owe some of my mommy skills to my oldest nephew, Gavin.  He was really the first baby that I was ever around.  I still feel bad about the time I woke up with Gavin early in the morning when he was a baby to let my sister sleep in and I didn't change his diaper right away.  I just didn't know the rules!  Sorry for being a rookie aunt, Gavin! 

Like my own children, Gavin and Grady are opposites. 

Gavin has brown hair. 
Grady has blonde hair. 

Gavin has brown eyes.
Grady has blue eyes.

Gavin is cautious.
Grady is adventurious.

Gavin turned 5 on Monday.  I cannot believe that he will be heading off to kindergarten in the fall.  Seriously, where does the time go?  It has been so fun to watch him grow and go from riding his tricycle to a "big boy" bike.  I love that Gavin is always eager to hold his little cousin too.  Anytime we are together he has to get his Ethan fix.  I seriously love Gavin's tender heart.  He is going to be a great best friend for someone, and I think he'll be a runner too!!!  Maybe we'll run a race together someday!

 

 

Grady turns 3 today!  Grady is the definition of ornery.  If there is something to climb, he will climb it.  He always seems to be a man on a mission, and I absolutely love that big, ornery smile that he gives everyone.  Grady is only 5 weeks older than Bailey, and it is fun watching them start to interact and play more as they are getting older.  It was hilarious to watch Grady ride down our back driveway (that is a hill) without any brakes on his tricycle when they were here a few weeks ago.  Seriously, no fear.  What a fearless and fun little boy he is!

 

 

 

Happy birthday to two of the best nephews I could ever ask for!  Love you guys!
