9 MoNthS

I cannot believe my little man is 9 months old! Time passes all too quickly. Gavin is really starting to get his look & his little personality is so cute & fun!

Here are his stats:
Weight: 22 lbs {60%}
Height: 28 in {75%}
Head: {95+%}

Some things about Gavin:
* He army crawls everywhere
* He loves cords
* He gets very offended when you leave the room
* He loves to smack his lips
* He gives 'high-fives'
* He can pull himself to his knees, but could stand supported forever
* He loves his tricycle
* He loves his veggies, fruit, crackers, cheese, yogart..ok, he'll eat anything
* He sleeps 11-12 hours
* He won't take a pacifier
* He likes to drink from a cup
* He takes 2 naps
* He likes to jibber jabber
* He jumps & tries to eat you{kisses}when he gets excited
* He is in size 3 diapers & wears 9-12 month clothes
* He loves pulling mommies hair
* He smiles all the time

Here are just a few random pictures that I've taken throughout our days just hangin out!

He loves this bucket! It usually holds all of his toys in our family room, but he would rather play inside of it.

There have been a few colder days the last month & Doug brought him out wearing this awesome getup! It reminds me of '7 Brides for 7 Brothers'. Too cute!

Look at me Ma! I can do pull-ups just like Dad!

He loves his bath time! It's funny because every time I pour water over his head, he pants & tries to pull himself out of the tub. Silly kid!

Now you might think I'm a mean mom for taking this picture, but you all can't lie & say that you've never done this. I ran downstairs to grab something & he was just playing with his bucket of toys. He wasn't crying when I first came upstairs, but when I saw him like this & he saw me, he lost it. The kid pulled the tree on himself! I couldn't help but laugh.

Oh my Rachel! He is too cute. I'm laughing about the tree... poor kid! I've probably done all of my traveling to Utah for the time being. I'm certainly not driving, and they won't let you fly if you're over 9 months prego, so I think we're stuck in Colorado for a little bit. Are you ever coming to visit Jason and Becky though? We are only about an hour from Colorado Spings, so I could always drive up to see you if you are. Anyway, Gavin is a doll, and... let's be honest... there's no way Doug could do a pull up. =)

Great pictures of our little "Dude". So cute and yes he will make a few more messes and get frustrated and cry as he continues to grow and explore.
