GAC and GUB

They're Great, they're Grand, they're Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Bob, they're Quinn's GAC and GUB. Ever since Quinn was the size of a blueberry in my tummy GAC has been all ears (creative ones at that) about the progress of this little person growing inside. Back story: there is a great website that I joined when pregnant called babycenter.com where every week it updates you about the growth and developments of the fetus. It also related the size of the baby to a fruit or veg to give the expectant mom a reality of how big this person was week by week. Well, GAC was very curious as to what was happening as baby grew and started to come up with names relating to the fruit/veg each week. It was a great part of each week to see how creative she got. Also helpful since John and I waited to find out the sex till the birth. So for example at week 20, GAC, looked up varieties of 'banana' on the net and came up with a list of different types of bananas. Then her creative side would take off... Here is an example: Cavendish (sounds like a Scot) or the name Gavin (sort of rhymed with Caven). We didn't go with Cavendish, but she sure was so great to entertain me during my pregnancy every week. So, the first meeting between GAC, GUB and Quinn was just so special. Lots of love in the room and here are a few snapshots that captured it...










Quinn shared a very special moment telling his GUB (with his eyes) how much he loves his rattle. Q has now had the rattle for 6 months and has given it that "well loved look" every baby toy wants. It is often found in Quinn's hand being shaken about, in his mouth licking off that sheen that was once there, or being teethed on (hence the baby tooth carvings on the handle)! I don't think I even need to say it is a favorite!



GAC went all out for Quinn. While in San Francisco she arrived to our hotel room with about 5 big blue packages tied up with string (a favorite thing). Inside each box was an array of clothes starting from 3-6 months up to 12-18 months (Quinn will be sporting a leather jacket during those months might I add). There was also a box full of little boy shoes. Come to find out, GAC went around to many rummage sales, and garage sales to find these nearly new items to fill Quinn's closet. Who knew Quinn would have a personal shopper and a great one at that! He gets many compliments on his stylish wardrobe and I love to share that his GAC is responsible!
