Hooray! It's Gavin's birthday!!! Since our party is this weekend, we celebrated in a simple way with ice-cream and presents from GG and Great-Grandma Sally. Gavin got a few licks and loved it! Kyle thoroughly enjoyed helping Gavin celebrate with his own cup. Speaking of Kyle, don't he and Ru look so much a like in this picture?
"Reading" his birthday card! Too cute!
The birthday boy even started singing "Happy Birthday" to himself after a round by his parents. I tell you, he copies us and our words all the time! It was too cute to realize he was actually trying to sing the birthday song! We video taped him walking last week though we've yet to get his "talking" on video. It's a must! His voice is too cute. Driving in the car, I'll start to make sounds or say words and he'll copy me time and time again. We'll go back and forth with each other. I love it.
At ONE year old, Gavin:

At ONE year old, Gavin:
- says: Dada, Mama, Kayak (Kyle), No, NoNoNo (while shaking his finger at us!), Wow, Woah Woah Woah (copying Kyle), and his version of "What's that?" (was-dah?)
- has his own language and talks all.the.time!
- has 8 teeth, plus a molar that's halfway through!
- gives the BEST hugs, ever!! (squeezes, lays his head down on our shoulders, pats our back and holds there for many seconds and loves to wrap his arms around our necks!)
- walks from point A to point B (or like halfway across a room)
- loves music and moving to the beat
- enjoys being outside
- still dislikes the car!
- loves playing with balls and match box cars (he makes the motor sound while he drives them on the ground)
- is climbing onto anything he can
- loves to rip paper/magazines and throw/watch things drop
- likes to wrestle
- LOVES Daddy
- keeps us very, very busy!!!
This year has flown by. Hard to believe that it was a whole year ago we were anxiously awaiting his arrival! He's been just too precious for words. While singing the birthday song to him today I couldn't help but tear up. There was once a day where we just had Kyle and ached for him to have his brother...and now we look at God's answered prayer in Gavin. God is so good. So, so good.
Happy 1st Birthday, Gavin!!
Happy Birthday, Gavin! I can't wait to see what kind of a birthday party your parents have planned....they always look like so much fun. I can't believe it has been a year already. Time flies!
