Botanical Gardens

Today we went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens with Kyle and baby Gavin.









He's got the best blue eyes you ever saw in your life!








































Our boys spent a lot of time watching each other and reaching out to touch one another.
I kind of think they are beginning to become buddies!


I was really amazed at how many things were in bloom and how gorgeous the gardens were. The colors were fantastic!


I think Valentino was kind of into the colors as well.











Can't...... resist........ touching.......... must............





....TOUCH!! But of course!


Lucky for the blooms I think they were held on with super glue.
It helped keep the roving security off our backs - whew!












Look Mom! Melts in your mouth, not in your hand!!


just kidding.....

















We had such a nice day and the spring weather couldn't have been more perfect.



How lucky for all of us!

Cruisin'

Valentino is really cruising now and pulling up everywhere. He walks along the furniture, holding on so sure. And then he lets go to switch from table to sofa and I find myself holding my breath everytime. I do think he really will be walking by his first birthday.











As I watch him scooting here and there and when the fleeting opportunity to hold him in my arms comes along he just feels more and more like a little boy and less like my little baby.


Hey! No paparazzi!!
