Gavin is a big boy now!

Gavin has been cracking me up the last couple of days....for example, yesterday morning he woke up pretty early and I went and grabbed him and put him in bed with us. Usually he will just cuddle me and we both fall back asleep. This time I fell asleep and he got out of bed without me noticing and wandered downstairs. So the whole house is asleep and the downstairs is dark, but he goes and sits himself at the kitchen table and starts yelling "Daddy, dadddddy". Matt finally becomes conscious and goes downstairs and flips on the lights and there is Gavin calmly yelling daddy and swinging his feet at the kitchen table! Funny kid.


Today he mastered the art of going up and down the stairs upright (as opposed to the crawling on hands and feet up and scooting backward on the tummy down). I don't know how excited I am about that, it still makes me nervous but he's got to grow up sometime right? :) He was soooooo proud of himself and yelled for Luke and Emma to come watch him. They were so cute and made a big deal about it, which made his face beam even more :)


The other thing that made me laugh was tonight at dinner he tore off a piece of french bread and held it up to his ear and acted like it was a phone and carried on a conversation for a little while :) Also today Emma said his name as she was trying to hand him a balloon, he turned around and as clear as can be said "What, oh, thank you". I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but he sounded so grown up! Also today as he was concentrating on building something with Luke's legos he started singing Outkast's song that says "Hey ya....shake it shake it shake it". We have a karaoke game and that song is on it and so he knows the chorus. It just seemed so funny to have a little baby sitting there singing absent- mindedly as he was working on something :)


Well here are some pictures of his stairs accomplishment...First here he comes down....







And here he goes back up....







Watch for yourself and don't mind my obnoxious cheering :)....down


and up....

Cutest boy!!! He's so big. I love that he's talking and holding his own with his big bro and big sis. What a little angel baby. Thanks for posting the videos, they are priceless!

That always freaks me out when they learn that one. He is so cute.

And I thought you were Steelers fans!

Wow I'm impressed! It always makes me nervous when they start learning to crawl up and down the stairs, but when they start to walk - ya hope there a little more secure. VERY CUTE pics!

Sar,

He is so cute! What a big boy. And the vocab, please stop him from growing up! Thanks for the call last night. I hope they like the book. Tyson tried it out and decided that it was a keeper and that big boys like it too!

Love you!
