Gavin at 16 months

Here are some very recent pictures of Gavin to show him in his current loveliness at 16 months today! I can’t believe how quickly our life changed and he became the middle child. He is very well adjusted because of it. Besides being attached to the paci and bottles still he can just sit in his stroller for hours when I have my hands full with Bradley or Easton. I always make sure I get down on the ground and just PLAY with him and love on him for being so great!

New things he is doing since last months age update is he gives us kisses. Wet slobbery ones and he says “mwahhhh” as he’s doing it. That is the best! It is so sweet to see him hug Bradley instead of the other way around. I guess that is about it. I have started to put him in some of Bradley’s old clothes that are 2t and I put him back down to a size 5 diaper. He is a classic red haired boy just like his big brother. Sweet then Sour at any given second!

His new frog that I put on at night for him just for fun. It makes white news and puts moon and stars on the ceiling.

Bradley is trying to discipline his here and told him “No Gavin, you can’t climb on chairs!” Even though it was fine with me because I knew he is too afraid to jump off. Bradley got him down and he ended up screaming. He doesn’t like it when Bradley makes him do or not do things but of course, that’s what big brothers do! Watch out Easton!

He also thinks it is funny when you bite his finger. He is showing Mimi all about it. I started biting his finger to keep him still while I have to change his diaper. He likes to twist over and get into all the wipes. The things moms do to keep them still or from crying!

You are so fun Gavin! We love you!

UPDATE: He also points to things and says "whaddds daaat?" in his high pitched excited voice!

Happy 16 months cutie! It is so strange to see him in Bradley's old clothes. You are right, Gavin is the best baby anyone could ask for. You bring that boy over here anytime you need some rest!! All of them for that matter!! Love you Gavin!
