Busy boy!

Gavin has become the most entertaining child. He makes us laugh all the time. He's also become so intelligent... overnight almost. It's as if he's spent 12 months soaking everything in, and now he's showing us what he's got. He constantly surprises us with new things all the time.

He understands so much, it's surprising such a little person can be so knowledgeable.

He responds correctly to us if we tell him to "put it away," "go give that to dad/mom/grandma," "night night (bedtime)",  "I'm going to get you (he runs)," "say hi/bye," as well as knows people by name including his daycare lady's name, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, Trooper/Puppy. He's also started saying "uh oh," and being much more vocal (gibberish) and has learned how to blood -curdle- scream. He's so interested in his toys lately too. He stacks toys, LOVES taking toys out and then putting them back, block puzzles, legos, shape sorters, colors, numbers, books (including reading to himself) and self-entertains very well.

He's never been a cuddle baby. Once he could walk, he was off. He will sit in our lap if he's hurt/sick, or wants to be read to.

It's so fun watching him grow up and learn. They say kids are like sponges, and it's so true. We're in an ECFE class now on Tuesday nights. We love spending time with him and encourage his learning and making friends. Mom and dad may even make a few friends with fellow parents too!

This skilled boy can tear apart a clean house in minutes










The song "Happy and You Know It" was on, in the car...I look back, and see this emo face.
