Gavin at 2 1/2

Gavin is 2 1/2, and I wanted to document what his little world is like right now because it is mostly so stinkin' awesome!

(You know, most of the time.)

He is mostly fun to be around as he narrates everything he sees and thinks. His vocabulary is well developed so far and he speaks in full sentences. His conversations are sometimes quite impressive and his memory shocking! We love his nicknames for us: Mommy, Mama and Mommy Bubby / Daddy, Dada and Daddy Stefan. I in return like to call him tons of little pet names but the most common being: Bubby, Gav, Buddy.

He will ask you to "Talk to me about ... X" and it is usually trucks, tractors, bulldozers or race cars. All boy here! Singing about these topics is often requested too. He is also into singing himself (loud and proud with his own words or babble) while "playing the drums" or the guitar. Hilarious! The funniest words he says are Bob, Bamboo, Blue, together and library.

Most of the time he is fun but if he misbehaves it is for mom or dad. He can be sensitive at times and have fits or want what he wants. We work on breathing and calming down but he has a ways to go to be able to control his emotions. He still loves to snuggle (yay) and is somewhat interested in potty training, although we haven't formally started. He is sleeping great 10 hours a night and has one nap during the day which varies in length but is at least an hour and a half to two hours usually. 

His food preferences are still awesome so we hope that sticks around. The other day while traveling we got him a white bean salad with tuna, black olives, marinated mushrooms and feta and he loved it! He does like different things though so we try to keep things stocked up. He still likes his breakfast of a smoothie and an egg. 

Overall he is doing great and boy are we not only thankful for him and his health but so blessed to guide his little soul through this world.
