Gavin’s been up to alot recently. He’s working on his driving skills… of very small vehicles. He drives his trucks and cars up chair legs, up human legs, down the halls and just about everywhere. He’s really enjoying toys that move.

He’s learned how to open doors by himself, something he’s been aspiring for months now. He loves to go in the pool at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. He likes to wave “hi” and “bye bye”. He tried on Daddy’s shoes once too. Very funny but not so easy to walk in.

And he’s been working on talking. He says several words now. On the list we’re sure he’s actually saying (it can be hard to be sure) are: cat, meow, hello, juice, wow, fish, ball, mama, and dada. I’m also fairly sure he says “tickle”. The words we hear the most are ball, meow and juice. They are the most useful in his daily life.

He’s been maturing alot in the last several months and I think his new perspective will be a great help when the new baby arrives. I hope that he doesn’t have too tough a time adjusting to the changes. I’m really thankful Chris will be able to be here at home with us for a while to help with things and to make sure Gavin gets what he needs. I think that will make a big difference.
