Fort

I ordered a baby shower gift for a co-worker on Amazon.com (love Amazon Prime, as a side note). And when it came, the shipping box was just the perfect size for Gavin to play in. I gave it to Brad and here's what he came up with...Gavin's first fort ("house")! It even has a roof and doors. Needless to say, it's been Gavin's favorite thing all week. He loves hiding (usually with one foot hanging out because he's just too excited to fully enclose himself) and then poping out to surprise us. I love the creativity. I can vividly remember creating similar forts with boxes as a child. I absolutely loved transforming cardboard into a a magical little place.

Here's Gavin "hiding" inside the house (note the toes peeking through)...

And, SURPRISE, here he is!

This photo I've added because I just like it. We spent some time outside on Tuesday night while Brad was with his cycling group. It was so HOT in the sun, even though it was the evening. This picture is cute because it shows off Gavin's rosy cheeks that he commonly acquires while playing in the heat. He's very much like his cousin Luke when it comes to the "flushing" department. I also love the photo because it showcases nicely his beautiful eyes. He has been blessed with BIG, gorgeous blue/green eyes (turning more green over the recent months, like his mom's)!

Who could say "no" to this little face? So precious!
