Softplay

Before we get to the meat of today's post I have to brag that Gavin is officially saying "mama" :) It's been the highlight of my day, hearing him say it over and over. It's so cute too. Ok, onto today's pics:
This afternoon we went to the mall (There were some GREAT sales in Children's Place so I got Gavin a few sleeveless t-shirts (regularly $7.50, on sale for $3.74) and a new baseball hat ($2.99) for summer. We stopped at the softplay and Gavin love, love, loved it! I've never realized how much he could already climb, go through tunnels, etc. It was a blast watching him. Whew - he has some energy though! I should have worn my workout clothes to the mall just to keep up with him! The only downside were the other (hate to use this term, but...) GHETTO families that were in there! I was in people watching heaven. Kids were screaming and arguing with one another... it was a bit ridiculous! I really think some parents dropped their kids off and left to shop. Other parents just came and sat in the corner and didn't even notice that their kids were pushing other kids and stepping on them! Where has the supervision gone these days?! Overall, it was a good experience and we'll be back again soon. Next time maybe during the week and in the morning when its' probably much less crowded!
Showing mommy that he is already a pro at climbing stairs!

Chasing after Mason

Getting ready to go through the tunnel

Over the shovel he goes

Definitely going the wrong way on the slide!
Below is a video of him...
I tried making several videos but they kept ending with me dropping the camera to grab Gavin after he climbed too high!
Instead of climbing through the tunnel like most kids, Gavin decides to climb OVER it!

Afterwards, we went to Chili's with our friends and the kids. Gavin wore his new hat to dinner since it matched his shirt.

Our next purchase will be matchbox cars! Mason let Gavin play with his Lightening McQueen car at dinner and it was a hit. He sat there forever just rolling it back and forth on the table.

Ask Jason and Lindsey about the time their dad made a kid go to the back of the line who was ditching...Most people don't watch their children, they just want to zone out.
Gavin is so adorable.
