what's new: gavin is starting to build towers with his blocks now in addition to loving to tear them down. he can do a somersault all by himself. gavin has become quite the show-off. at gym class and at home, he always wants to have everyone's attention. he yells "mommy" or "daddy" until we look his way. he even yells "daddy" during the day when he knows daddy is at work :) he just gets so excited to show off his mad skills that he can't help himself! he's more engaged in play than ever before - when he's quiet, and i expect him to be up to no good, i often find him sitting by himself playing with something very intently. he loves tv a little too much. we have to play the CMA Music Festival on our DVR just about every day at gavin's request. he loves his music, and he LOVES to dance. gavin also has a big sweet tooth. he begs for a sucker just about every day and loves his halloween treats. he loves juice so much more than brooke ever has. he calls all juice "gatorade" (which sounds something like "eye-eye"). gavin also loves all condiments and gets the ketchup and mustard out of the fridge all by himself when he sees me cooking a hot dog :). gavin gets impatient at red lights and yells for me to "go!" i remember so clearly brooke doing the same thing around this age. thanks to his big sister, gavin has learned to expect and ask for stickers or stamps whenever we go to any kind of store, and he loves to show his stamped hands off to everyone. gavin has become my big helper in the kitchen and loves to cook and bake. he gets out the measuring cups and then goes straight to the spice drawer... :) gavin is also learning how to clean up - he will often go into the pantry to get the broom after we are done eating. he even moves the chairs out of the way to sweep! i've also seen him go to the sink and grab the towel to wipe up his spills. gotta start 'em young :) gavin loves babies - real and pretend. he's very sweet to all of his stuffed animals - putting them "night night", giving them kisses, talking to them... today he even asked hippo if he wanted a snack :) gavin loves reading christmas books and knows that santa says "ho ho ho." i can't wait to see his face when we go to see santa this year.
