Nicknames: Gav-man, Gavers, Coop, Mr. Gavin, and Gavy.
LIKES:
This boy is passionate about being outside and equally dispassionate about going back inside after being outside.
He loves to snuggle and will often give me a hug after I change his diaper. Those are the best diaper changes ever.
Loves to say hi to everyone and blow them kisses when we leave. He pretty much made this little old lady's day at Sam's club when he blew her kisses goodbye.
Loves his binky which he affectionately calls 'me-me.' There is nothing funnier than hearing this sweet kid shout "ME-ME!" when I take his binky away. Seriously, it is so hilarious and darling.
His favorite toy has to be a toss up between phones and balls. He is obsessed with both.
His favorite place to sit is on the couch between me and Nathan. He thinks sitting between mom and dad is pretty much the best place to be.
He loves Elmo and Curious George and does a pretty awesome monkey impression.
DISLIKES:
He has a hard time with food textures. Not a ridiculously hard time, but there was a while there when he would chew a grape a couple of times and then spit it out and then ask for another and repeat the whole process. But he's getting better over time and now proudly eats entire grapes!
I believe I mentioned his dislike of coming inside the house after being outside. It's ridiculous really. This boy just can't get enough of being outside!
PERSONALITY:
He's a pretty chill little man, but he is also a free spirit. He'll just take off (outside on a walk, in the grocery store, in the mall etc.) and doesn't look back.
He loves a wide open space to explore which probably explains his great love of the outdoors.
He is a very friendly little guy and loves to say "hi" to everyone!
While he is generally a happy kid he can throw a wicked temper tantrum. It is a sight to behold.
LATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
can climb up on pretty much every chair in the house which also means he can get into all kinds of things now!
He loves to be read to and memorizes books pretty easily. We generally try to incorporate actions into our book reading and after reading the book once or twice he can usually do all the actions with you. His favorite books right now are
Moo, Baa, La, La, La along with
Goodnight Gorilla, and
The Going to Bed Book.
RANDOM:
He recently learned to say peek-a-boo and loves to pop out from behind things and say "pee-uh-boo!" He also loves to give tickles.
And that is a little about our sweet little man Gavin! He keeps us laughing!
