Gavin - 10 months

Gavin likes to "walk" with his firetruck!

A silly Gav.

Our baby, aka Gav-man, Gavie, Guero, Baby G, Shabu, Brother, Zzzz, Zizzer is 10 months old today!! Though he's still super easy-going and happy almost every second of the day, he's now starting to really assert himself and express his wants and dislikes! He's very vocal and isn't afraid to tell ya exactly what's on his mind. He thinks many things are funny and loves to giggle. Our little guy is a charmer and likes to be in the center of all the action. He may be "easy" but he's not to be underestimated!! :)

At 10 months, Gavin:

• weighs 17 lbs 4.7 ounces
• has 4 teeth
• is getting some hair (it's hard to see, but it's there!!!)
• cruises around and pulls up on absolutely everything 
• is quite verbal (and starting to say Dada - we've heard Dada and Mamamama but not consistently yet)
• beginning to sign "All done!"
• waves hello/good-bye and claps his hands

Gavin likes:

• his brother (he really, really wants to be with Kyle and smiles whenever he hears or sees him!)
• wrestling (really!!)
• playing with his toys (can entertain himself very well!)
• chewing on anything
• to feed himself and eat big people food (forget that spoon and cereal!)
• loves pickles, bananas, and Plum Organics "Little Cremes" (kale, apple, & sweet potato) made with rice milk 
• music (especially from his little Leap Frog animal, Scout)
• jumping/bouncing
• being outside and riding in his little red car
• holding/chewing matchbox cars
• swimming in the pool
• when Daddy comes home!!!
• also, seems super fond of his mommy, I must say! :)

Gavin dislikes:

• car rides!!!
• when Daddy goes to work
• being left behind/out of the action

Rudy and I look at this little person who is growing and changing so much and comment to each other (repeatedly) how blessed we are to have this special little guy. It's been a very happy (though tiring!) 10 months! ;)
