Gavin is getting so big and even teaching his stuffed lamb to brush his teeth! He is such a smarty pants. I can't believe that he is only 16 months old and already saying so many new words and following simple directions. Today he threw his bowl and spoon on the floor when he was done, like he usually does, so I told him "put it in the sink." He actually walked them over to the sink so I lifted him up and he threw them in! He now waves and says bye and sometimes even blows kisses when he wants to go out in the backyard and play. He also has learned most of the actions to "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" and can say the words "head", "knees", "toes" & "eyes". He loves to read books and will lay back on my lap and usually with the book upside down, pretend to read and tell me about the pictures. He loves to talk on the phone, especially with big sister Shayla. We were babysitting today and if he was being mean I told him "be nice and give hugs," and he would softly lay his cheek against hers. If he wants me to pick him up, I ask him to say "up please" and he says it while signing please. While I was pregnant with Gavin, Eris and I read a book together called "Baby Brains" and she said at that time that he was going to be just like the baby in the book. She still remembers that and enjoys calling him "baby brains" each time he learns something new.
