Playing Catch Up

So I am totally behind in my blogging and I hate that feeling! Gavin is learning new things a mile a minute; I can hardly keep up with the little guy. Here's what our precious boy has been up to:

Gavin is all but running these days! He is walking so good and is so steady now. He even stands up from a sitting position! He is such a busy, curious little boy and loves to check out everything.


Since Gavin was 6 months old he was been watching Signing Time videos that teach him sign language. He LOVES the videos and is now starting to sign to communicate. His first sign was dog, for Sugar. She gets all the love and doesn't even know it! He can also sign all done and more. It's really cute!

Gavin is talking these days as well. He says Momma, Daddy, Puppy, Daw (for dog), hi, bye-bye, baby and "ba-bee" (for blankie). He imitates many other words after you say them but we can't get him to repeat them, so they are one time things at the moment.

Gavin is definitely a BOY!! He LOVES playing outside in the rocks and the mud! Last week I was outside brushing Sugar (she was shedding SO bad) and Gavin was walking around outside playing with the rocks. Well, he finally got brave enough to walk in the grass but the ground isn't level and he face planted in the MUD!

He is SO cute! Teagan loves signing time too! He signs all the time now. It's so fun when they communicate.
