Gavin - 9 months

I've thought it all along, but now I will say what all mothers say... Wow, where has the time gone?! Nine months is a big deal. He's grown so much and is really such a part of our family, it's getting hard to remember what life was like without him. :) Gavin loves to be with us and involved in whatever we are doing. He delights in being with his brother and tries to play/touch/grab anything Kyle is playing with. Sometimes that goes well and sometimes it doesn't. Ever since his 8 month post, he's been standing constantly. He also really likes to walk while holding our hands. He's started cruising, too. It seemed he "almost crawled" for a few months, so maybe he'll "almost walk" for a few months, too. Either way, seeing him upright all the time makes me wonder where my little baby went. He's precious beyond words. We adore his joyful, curious, and easy-to-please attitude. 

Gav's 9 month pics show him playing side-by-side with his big brother today:
