Gavin turned 9 months on November 3rd.  We are starting to lose that snuggly baby and are seeing glimpses of a very busy and determined toddler to come! 

 

Gavin is not one to sit still and can't stand to be missing any of the action he knows that his brother and sister are involved in.  He has the army crawl down and can move really fast across our wood floors to get where he wants - often that is the bathroom to play with the door spring or starting to get into cupboards in the kitchen.

 

Gavin is becoming a big boy eater and eating lots of finger foods.  He also is a great sleeper and good napper.  EVERYONE that spends any time with Gavin says he is "the easiest happiest baby ever."

 

Gavin has also found his voice and loves to have shriek wars with the family in the morning - he definitely likes to be heard!  He is also quite the spitter and sometimes feeding him can be a challenge - we call it the "spray zone" (reminiscent of the "splash zone at Sea World")

 

We love our little Gavin to the moon and back!
