Tavis smiles again

Music Class

Tavis enjoys going to music class every Tuesday morning with Alexis. Here they learn the valuable lessons on sharing, taking turns, and playing well with others as well as an introductory experience of all kinds of music. Lately, his favorites are the drum and the microphone (heh heh).

Swinging together after class.

Practicing at home with new drum.

What's Tavis been up to?

Becoming quite the little artist!



Looking more like his Dad every day!

Spending New Years on Hood River, Oregon.


Enjoying Christmas dinner with the Koltzs, Neyharts and the Johnsons.

Opening some cool presents on Christmas morning!

Tavis is helping with some holiday baking.

Happy Halloween, Pumpkin!

Trick or treating with Alexis (the rooster!)

Karie, Tavis & Ben

Finally, a picture with the Moms! Troi, Alexis, Karie & Tavis

Oh, the things I can do now!

Feed myself...
Walk and smile for the camera...
Pick my own outfits...
Sit on the motorcycle with my Dad...
Drink through a straw...

September '06-

He's walking all over now so it's hard to get him to hold still for pictures! Here's a few I managed to get...




Tavis is giving "loves".
Not sure if Alexis knew that.


Tavis and Alexis in Sept. (Alexis modeling the dress Karie knitted for her...so cute!)

Hamming it up-even in the bathtub. Great bribery pic for later!

Looks like he's really working on something here, maybe I'll let him update the blog next!

Not a fan of the hat...

Snazzy new haircut for the 1 year old

Fun in the park with Mom & Dad

Splashing in the wading pool. (Yes, we brought bath toys.)

Tavis doing "Rocky" as he's swinging high in the sky!

Hey! Look at that little girl! (It's not polite to point!)

Having a good time cooling off in the hot sun. Tavis refuses to wear a hat, guess he just wants to show off his signature mop-top!

This is how he crawls on cement...pretty smart!

Fun times in May

Mommy was having fun with Tavis' hair after a bath. (Check out the toes!)
We went to the Woodland Park Zoo and got a personal tour from our friend Dinah who volunteers there every weekend. So much fun! We'll bring Daddy next time...

Ben is sharing the mike with Tav, singing Roadhouse Blues by The Doors.

More photos of the cute "faux hawk". Really going for that rock star look!
