Go, Gavin, Go! (February)

Gavin has been a busy boy the last month. He is getting so big and so much fun!

He had a fun time at the Valentine's Day party. He had little valentine's for all his friends and put them in their bags and boxes.

He was very excited to help give Avery a bath in the sink. He loves anything to do with water. We had to make sure he knew to only pour water on her belly and not her face. He did a great job.

I know that Gavin is going to be such a great big brother. (I don't remember if I already posted this story, so ignore me if I have ...) After Avery was about a week old I was sitting on the couch holding her. Gavin began dragging her car seat over to me. He was struggling but insisted on getting it to me. Once he was standing next to me I asked him what he was doing. He just looked at me and said, "Baby go home now." We all started laughing! I don't think we realized how much he was affected by her being there. He never showed any sign of it until that moment. But once he realized that Avery was actually home, he has accepted her. He basically ignores her most of the time. But if he does ever find a blanket he will always go give it to Avery. He is going to be such a great big brother.

He is always doing funny things that make us laugh. He found the cocoon that Annette knitted for Avery and decided that it was a hat.

He knows that he is not supposed to go outside without his shoes on. He couldn't find his shoes but found his cowboy slippers. He also decided he needed to wear his monkey backpack.

Here he is putting his spaghetti noodle on the back of his tow truck. That makes sense.

A few times when people would bring a gift for Avery they would also bring something for Gavin. I think he got a little too used to getting "surprises" from everyone that came over. Whenever anyone now comes with a suitcase, or we get a package in the mail, he tries to open it to find his surprises. When my sister came to visit he went through her suitcase and found a lifesaver in the small front zip pouch. He was convinced that was his surprise. I guess it doesn't need to be anything big!

Funny kid.
