Obsessed

 OK, so I have become obsessed with buying presents for people for birthdays or anniveraries and saying they are from Gavin. They KNOW that Gavin did not go and get the present, so why do I feel compelled to put his name on everything like he did? I swear its a sickness. Gavins Uncle E is turning the Big 2-8 and instead of saying his present is from Nick and I I say its solely from Gavin, is that odd?

 Even before Gavin was born I would put his name on cards etc. People are probably looking at the card saying, Who the heck is Gavin. But I find it really cute and will continue to do it until Gavin is old enough to buy his own presents, and even then I will add his name because he will be a teenager and not remember important dates. So, if you are going to get a card or a gift from me, then just be prepared, its from Gavin. :)

 This weekend I am going to do some major one year birthday planning, I have to get the invites out, the food set,etc. That way when it creeps closer I can be in denial that my baby boy is turning one and not worry about how many hamburgers and hot dogs we need. I can just snuggle him and remember the day he was born. Which seems like yestarday.

I was driving into work thinking about the day he was born, its hard to remember it looking back now, but I do remember seeing him for the first time and thinking that he is mine forever. Now I look at him and still say that, but wonder where the time has gone and where that baby face went, he is looking more and more like a big boy as the day goes on and ironically he looks a lot like his Uncle E when he was a baby. Blonde blonde hair, and blue eyed baby. Gotta love it!
