Wow! Where did this past year go? Where did my baby go, for that matter?! Gavin is now one year old, but will always be my baby. It makes me so sad when I think back on how little he used to be and how fast he is already growing up. So, I try not to. :) Despite the fact that he is STILL not crawling, he is doing new things everyday. At his one year well child check, he was 2 ounces shy of 20lbs. That puts him in the 5% range for weight...I know, I was shocked too! With those chunky legs, I was certain he was a lot higher! But he is also in the 5% in height, so yes, he is my short and stalky one...just like his dad. :) And his doctor wasn't at all concerned about him not crawling yet, apparently some babies skip the crawling crap and go straight to walking. I really do not mind...I haven't had to put gates on the stairs yet, and it keeps him in the baby stage longer. He does love to be held, and obviously gets his way with that! He also is walking while holding fingers. And he now proudly shows us where his eyes, nose, mouth and bum is when
asked, and just got his first tooth!
I am so grateful for this sweet little guy. He already has brought so much love and laughter into our home. His sister and brother absolutely adore and love him, as well as his parents! Gavin is so sweet and has completed our family. We love you Gavin!
