Gavin - 9 months

Yes I realize that it's the week of christmas and in just a few weeks Gavin will be 10 months. I am a procrastinator! Plus I was hoping to get better pictures of my little guy but it's hard taking pictures of a little mover and then there is his brother who thinks he needs to be in every picture.

So here is the best picture I could get of our little guy....



Gavin is quite the mover. He is crawling like a pro. I thought crawling would make him be more of a free spirit but he still crys when I leave the room. Then he just crawls to find me while crying. Such a momma's boy! There have been the few times that Gavin has crawled out of the room and I let him go to see what he'll do. A few mintues later I'll check on him and find him in his room playing with Zack and/or his toys. Of course if Zack's in the room Gavin always ends up crying shortly after. I'm not saying Zack's a bully (but he kind of is) he just hasn't learned how to share yet or how to be gentle with his little brother. Poor Gavin will find a toy and begin playing with it, and no matter what it is Zack will all the sudden have a special interest in it. I know brothers... I just wish he'd leave poor Gavin alone for 2 minutes. Or Gavin will be walking along the couch and Zack will grab him around the neck and body slam him. I know he just wants to play but he's too rough right now. Maybe that's why Gavin is such a big kid, he has to be with a brother like Zack :).

9 month stats:
23 lbs (95 percentile)
and long (can't find the paper with is stats -- also 95 percentile)

This past month we haven't really done too much. My mom took the boys to the Aquarium and Gavin had his first Thanksgiving. But other then that not really much going on.

Gavin has started saying MaMa. It's as clear as day, just not sure if he is saying it for me or just a sound that he makes. But it's just MaMa... not mamamamamama. It's pretty cute and exciting.
