Growing UP!

Gavin's doing a ton of big boy things: he helps feed himself his bottle with his massive hands; he rolls over; he eats food and tries to drink out of cups (and by "tries" I mean it's exhausting to straight-jacket-hold his efforts to grab anything and everything to do with food and beverages); he stays up late (grrr...); he screams when he's mad; and he can scoot backwards on the hardwood floor. Maybe it's because it's still so cold in Seattle that the only unclothed part of him is his hands (therefore the only part of him touching the floor with traction are his hands...) but to see him slide/scoot himself across the floor is pretty darn cute.

This week, with no school in session, we are home together while Grandma Barb is on vacation in California and Grandma Sue is getting some R&R at home. And being Gavin's mom-at-home-all-day fits, too. I didn't know how much I'd enjoy being with this little dude aaallllllll the tiiiiiiime, but I do enjoy it greatly! It's too bad I enjoy my job so much, too. I just need longer days to fit in all of the fun stuff I like to do!
