My Son- the Toddler!

BEFORE & AFTER

It is official, my baby is now a toddler. The hair cut went great, he did wonderful, sat there and didn't flinch, cry, freak out. But me on the other hand, well I stood there and CRIED! I was a pathetic whimpering mess. I couldn't believe how much different he looks now. Greg said, "he aged right before my eyes!" And he did - no more baby fine hair, now he looks like a little man. Of course he is still as adorable as ever, but he definitely looks older. The Kunz's were there with us to document this big step, I think Papa probably took about 100 pics!

We had his one year check up yesterday, still going good. Weighing in at a whooping 24.5 pounds, a little less than both Greg and I thought he would be. His weight and head size are in the 95th percentile. HE HAS A HUGE NOGGIN! Height is still in the 75th%. So going strong. Gavin is also talking a lot more, granted some of it is nonsense, but a few new words are fish and shoe. He is now learning his nose, eyes, hands, feet. The only thing he likes to point out is his hands. Also loving to wave goodbye and hello. Granted this is to the dogs the majority of the time, he likes to wave to them when he goes to bed and when he wakes up, very cute. If you ask him if he wants to go to bed he will now nod his head yes, grab doggy and go to the baby gate and try to get upstairs. How great is that?? My child loves to sleep! Still loving to walk, we spent a lot of time outside today in the wonderful 67 degree weather playing in the rocks, swinging, sitting in the mulch and trying to eat it! Gross.... But alas, that is the least of my problems, right now he is trying to eat everything! Yesterday he tried to eat a rock and loves to mouth the trash can. That just grosses me out thinking about it! Luckily this kid loves to brush his teeth! Happy February to all, can you believe this weather!
