Brooks- these are for you.....
just a few precious moments over the past few days that I wanted to share with you..... be careful... some will make you laugh, cry, feel proud, and stand in awe at how much our little boy is growing up!!
After you walked through the airport doors, I got back into the car and closed the door. I turned and looked at Gavin and he lifted his arms in the air and with a confused look and said, "daddy?"
When we drove away from the airport, Gavin sat in the back seat and with the most sweetest, subtle voice I've ever heard he called out "daddy, daddy, daddy" over and over again until he fell asleep. It was like he knew you left.
This morning, Gavin ate a bowl of apple sauce all by himself... with a SPOON... can you believe it? I was so proud! He was proud to... he scooped it... he didn't even try to poke it.
You know how Gavin loves feeling different textures?.?. well, yesterday, Gavin was rubbing my lower leg/ankles (random I know). He quickly realized they were "rough" and started rubbing them again. He then switched to my left ankle and rubbed that one. The look on his face was hysterical... I guess that means it's time for me to shave my legs... HAHAHAHAHA!!
I asked Gavin a question Friday afternoon and he answered me... he nodded his head up and down and said Yes! Isn't that awesome?!?! At the same time, he still does a GREAT job of saying no to me by nodding his head side to side.
He has decided that he prefers bathing in our bathtub and appreciates it when I turn the jets on.
He helped me do laundry... or better yet, he unfolded an entire load of towels that I had just folded.
Gavin did a few pull ups on Brent and Jessica's P90X bar... babe, you would have been so proud!!
We miss you! Hope you are enjoying your trip! We love you and can't wait for you to come home!
