Almost TWO...

That's right...you read it correctly! Gavin is nearly TWO YEARS OLD! His birthday is just about a week away! I don't know where time went. Wasn't he just our colicky little swaddled newborn? It sure seems like that was yesterday. Every day he is learning something new , saying more sentences, climbing more objects and running faster and faster.

Tonight, when I got home from work, I asked Gavin how his day was and what made him cry today (since Daddy told me he had a big tantrum earlier in the day). He actually answered me and said "No walking, I wanted up!" Apparently he had a tantrum because he wanted Daddy to carry him to the store instead of walking next to him. I was surprised to get a real answer. Usually when I ask him a question like that his answer is "train" or "show on" or something irrelevant. Pretty soon, we might get to have a real conversation.

Also, here are some pics of Gavin in action at an indoor play area in Tampa called "Gator Freds." He had a blast!!

Of course he had to go down one of the biggest slides there (and climb up it)

Silly Smile! I made it to the top of the wall!!

They had all these cute areas for the toddlers....he liked the Supermarket and Pizzeria
