The word of the week!

Gavin is learning so much now and a new word seems to be popping out of his mouth every single day. Today he said please "eease" and I actually got him to say Donald Duck (it even sounded correct). But every week he seems to get stuck on one or two words that he says over and over. This week has been saying the most perfect "Uh, oh!" and "more." Finally he is not just signing more, but he is actually saying it (and really well!). So, now I insist he say "please" every time he asks for more of something. It is cute, he tries so hard to say it, but it comes out "ease" or just the "s" sound.
Such a fun age! Every day is a learning experience and I swear, each day he seems like he is getting things just a little more. He is finally learning his body parts (like nose, eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, nipples, belly button...etc). Don't ask me why we taught him nipples! lol! But he kept pointing to his so I told him what they were! That was the word of the week last week!

Siesta Key Beach

This was not my first time at the beach, but last time I went it rained almost the whole day and I did not even get to go in the ocean or walk in the sand. Mommy and Dada even bought me these cool new Elmo swim trunks since I finally outgrew my 6 month ones. I LOVED the ocean! It was cold at first, but I could not stop shaking and squealing with excitement! I hope we get to go back even though my Dada really can't go in the sun too often.

Chuck E. Cheese's

We went to Chuck E Cheese's for Dwight's Birthday party last weekend! It was so much fun! Mama and Dada let me eat pizza like a big boy, wanna see?



Then I got to go on a train ride with Barney. He is one of my best friends! I may not look too excited in the picture, but I kept asking to go back on it...
I also played games with Landon, Dada, and my Aunt Tiff...

I even got to meet Mr. Cheese himself and he SCARED me and the music was a little loud...

Long time no post!

We have been so busy here lately with two walking toddlers (Gavin and his friend) on my days off, it has been hard to find time to post any Gavin updates. I hope everyone had a great Easter! I can't believe it was Gavin's SECOND Easter. He went from an "immobile, crying baby" to a "fun, energetic toddler." Time is just flying by. I have soooo many pictures to post, but I'll try not to over do it. I'm just a proud Mommy.....proud of my little man and proud of our family of three!

This Easter..


Oh, the joys of trying to control a 1 year old for a picture!

15 Month Check Up!


I had my 15 month check up and it went pretty well considering. I am so aware of what is going on now that I cried a lot. Some lady pricked my finger a couple times and squeezed blood out to test my lead levels and then after all that, I got a shot. This is the third time they have tried to check my lead levels so we hope they got enough blood this time. I don't want to go back there! Mommy said I passed my autism screening so that was really good news!

Here are my stats:
Height: 32 inches (75%)
Weight: 21 lbs 2 oz. (8%)
Head: 17.75 inches (5%)

I am still a peanut!
