CANDY!!!! open open open open!!!!
2 horse trainers!

tavin james and the giant peach!! (playing with photoshop, its fun!)

awwww my sweet boy

his eyes are so blue, i used photoshop to dump all the color to black and white except for his eyes... click on the pic to make it bigger so you can really see the blue... it looks fake!! its not!!

Tavin's always doing new stuff! He's taking swimming lessons at the rec center, some days he likes it and some its just too cold to be any fun... he does like the slide tho. He started nursery school, and the teachers said he did awesome! Didnt even notice I was gone ;) While he's at school, I'm taking a few riding lessons, which is nice. He has a few new teeth, molars even! so eating just got more fun, as did brushing teeth!! he's very into books, his new "legos" (duplos for now, but he's going to outgrow them very quickly), his shape sorter, stacking things, a toy horse, and drawing (aquadoodle, tub crayons, etc) and loves music and playing his instruments. theres really nothing he doesnt like haha :) and he's still as much a cuddle bug as ever, has long periods of time where he just wants to sit with me. i love it!! <3

he's starting to talk a bit more, says random sentances out of the blue like "kitty cat! kitty cat! over there!!" when he spots PJ... says owl, up or hold for pick me up, help, open, here, go outside (to the dogs haha), thank you, excuse me, all done, kai, daddy, mama, shoe, over there, under there, bye bye, but thats about it... but he signs a LOT and communicates really well for someone who doesnt really talk much!! i hardly ever am at a loss for what he's trying to communicate. he gets his needs and wants across pretty well... he's so sure of what those things are, and has been since the day he was born!!!! silly guy :) he does try to repeat me when i say, "say ______" but he seems to get shy and embarrassed and not want to try for long (did he inherit my fear of failure?!)

he can kick a ball, throw overhand, and stack blocks to the heavens... he has a dr's appt on wednesday so i'll find out his height and weight. his pants are all too short and too big around the waist/butt, so im assuming he's still tall and skinny!

life is good :D

drawing, halloween, etc

this really is my tavin in a nutshell:
cowboy (well, horse trainer really) for halloween, eating chocolate icing, straight!

neon is neato!

corn maze is neato, also!

still a favorite... riding the dogs.

helping me build the new shoe shelf for his 30 pairs of shoes!

he LOVES giada!!!

my little arteest! he has such a way... he's so gentle with the dogs and cat, and he's really being deliberate about what he's drawing. its really the first time i've seen him draw something and not just scribble. whatever it was, he drew and erased and drew and erased and drew the same thing several times.
