Thanksgiving

We had a great time visiting with family down south for Thanksgiving.  Gavin loved all the love and attention he got from everyone and he loved the yummy food!  He started doing all kinds of new things while we were there.....he would put his finger to his lip and move it up and down and babble, he had loud screaming contests with his cousin Bailey, he grabbed my hand and led me to where he wanted to go which was the kitchen at mom's house (he loved playing with the cabinet doors), he had a playdate with my friend Rachel's little girl Lily who is a few weeks older, and he loved when Papa was teaching him how to play guitar.

Gavin's First Phrases!

Gavin said his first phrases yesterday! I was passing him my cell saying "here ya go" and "Thank you" when he passed it back. Then out of the blue he passed me a bottle lid & said "Here ya go" and "Thank you" plain as day. Ben looked at me and asked did he just say that? He kept saying it over and over....even my mom got to hear him say it over the phone. It was awesome!  He also says Daddy and Mumumum.  He is growing up so fast!  He isn't walking on his own yet but he is getting there and will be doing it in no time I bet!  He crawls all over the house!  He loves going full speed into our bedroom straight through to the bathroom and pulling up on all the handles on the cabinets.  He loves opening and closing doors and he rather feed himself than have mommy or daddy feed it to him.  Its so cute when he wants to come and sit beside me on the couch....he crosses his legs and leans back to watch some of his shows.....melts my heart when he wants some cuddle time with me.  He is something else!  


These are some pics of him playing around the house.



 Gavin playing with his tractor.....when he first got it and we would press the buttons to make it move he was scared to death of it....now he plays with it all the time.  
 My little cutie patootie always on the move!
 Gavin playing with his jumper.  
 He caught me taking pictures of him and that was it..he couldn't get over to me fast enough to check out the camera.  
He loves turning pages!
 Big Smiles!
 Look ma standing with one pinkie!
 I love when he gets excited on the move.  
He loves his texture book.  He will flip though it all day.
 My little posing baby!  Love it!


 He is like gimme that camera mum!!!!

 This is his concentration look...he is always reaching for something on the table.



It makes me smile everytime I see him smile.  He just lights up!
 Eating cheerios with daddy!  He loves to eat grabbing and pushing it into his mouth fist over fist.  But he does shake his head no when he is full.
