11-Months-Old!

Can you believe we will be celebrating Gavin's 1st birthday next month? We can't. He has grown so fast and come so far from the little bundle of wailing joy we brought home from the hospital. He's now a 25-pound bundle of joy. His latest tricks include:

• standing and creeping his way across a room while holding onto the wall
• opening cabinet doors (and the refridgerator)
• eating finger foods
• holding his own bottle & sippy cup
• saying "dada" and sometimes "mama"
• taking 2 good long naps everyday

And finally, his most amazing trick: sleeping from 7:30pm to 7am!!!!! We've waited 11 long months for that one. :)

I recently realized that I hardly have any pictures of Gavin sleeping, since he always sleeps in his crib, and we never go in there while he's sleeping because the floor creaks. :) So, I finally got this one of him during a nap. Notice the cute little tushie.

Of course the flash woke him up (he's always cute & dazed like this at first)

This morning, enjoying some cartoons and a baba. (The parents' heads were intentionally cut off due to bed head.)



still a little groggy (just like mommy)


When we were more awake, we strolled over to the elementary school and played for a while. (The parents still had bed head so hats were necessary.)
