Intently learning

Gavin looked so sweet watching his sign language DVD. And, he's getting better. So far, he can sign "more" and "doggie". That being said, it is not all the time but he is definitely learning.

Another tooth!

Gavin has another tooth! One more on the bottom. That brings the total to 7, with 4 on top and 3 on bottom.

Playtime

Playing with his activity table.
Standing on his tippy toes
Pulling up on the couch

Baby's first Super Bowl

A man on a mission....

Gavin using his new skill to accomplish his goals.

Pulling up!

Gavin has mastered pulling up! He pulled up for the first time about 10 days ago but has really taken to it the last couple of days.



Here you see Gavin pull up to get his toy and then attempt to stand on another toy to reach yet, another toy! Daddy redirects him to be safer ;-)

Stacking Blocks

Gavin has learned to stack his blocks! Daddy noticed his new "trick" when he got home. He was saving his new skill for after work!

Gavin's unique way of transporting his blocks. It seems to work for him.











Remember to eat your vegetables!!




































By far, the best way to transport a baby and laundry, in my opinion.

Guard dog

This is a typical sight at our house. Wembley is gently asked by Gavin to guard one or more of his toys. She steps up to the task admirably.

Taste tester

I made a trial run of the no-sugar chocolate cake that I am making for Gavin's birthday. It is sweetened with Agave nectar. Gavin really seemed to enjoy taste testing his cake!
