17 MONTHS




Gavin turned 17 months this week and I LOVE IT!  I know I always say the same thing, but I love his age and I wish he could stay this age for a long time.  Every month, I feel this same way, but it just keeps getting better!  Even though I love who he is and what he is doing at the moment, I do miss him being a baby.  He has become so independent and grown up and doesn't want us to help him do very much anymore.  This is good and bad.  He is really starting to do a lot of cute things and it is fun to watch him copy and learn new stuff all the time.
* He thinks he can talk and carry a conversation.  He rambles on and on and we have no idea what he is talking about.  He doesn't know what to do with his tongue, so he sticks it out and rolls it around kind of weird.
* He tries to repeat most of the words we tell him to say
* He has started to try and repeat words with 2 syllables
* Loves playing with cars and trains and he makes the car sounds
* Runs all the time...NEVER walks.  He is always in fast forward
*Turns everything into a joke and starts laughing, even when he is in trouble
* Runs and hides when we say we are going to change his diaper
* Gives Zoee treats non stop
* He will copy us and cross his arms
* Tries to operate his DVD player and turn on Barney
* Loves dancing!
* Always says, "Yeah" no matter what we ask him

Gavin- we love you so much and you make us smile each and every day!

Wow he's getting so grown up. I say the same thing each month about Kayden too. I feel like each month just gets better and better. I'm sure it is such a mixed feeling when they start doing so much on their own.
I always love his hats and can never find anything like them. Where do you get his cute hats?
