What a Trooper

It's the middle of our family trip to Puerto Morelos, Mexico and Gavin continues to amaze me.  He was absolutely wonderful on the plane and everyone enjoyed his t-shirt touting "Congratulations!  You get to sit near me".  He has been such a trooper!  It doesn't matter if his naps are out of whack or lunch is an hour late.  In fact, he is wearing us out when we try to wear him out!  More stories, pics and videos to come later.

Today's Mission: A Haircut

Gavin needed a haircut badly.  In fact, he always seems in need of one.  I didn't feel like driving to the kid's salon place in Franklin and paying $17 again, so this time we went to the neighborhood barber shop.  They did a great job, and now Gavin knows all about lolli-pops.  The unwrapped lolli-pop was in his chubby little hand before I could object.  By the end of the haircut, Gavin was a sticky and hairy mess, but he was happy.  He screamed during his last haircut, so we may try this lolli-pop trick again.

A New Playhouse?

Gavin's new place to get into... Macy's cage!  Even when she is in there.

My Little Helper

Ever since Gavin started walking well enough, he's been "helping" me get Macy in her cage when we leave the house.  I get the treat out, hand it to Gavin and he gives it to Macy.  At first Macy would almost have to take it from him, but now he readily gives her the treats.  A couple of weeks go by and Gavin has learned how to pull open the drawer under the dryer (where the treats are kept).  In another week or two, Gavin can get the lid off the canister of treats.  He always wants to give Macy her treats!

Last week we were trying to get out of the house and everyone followed me to the laundry room (Gavin and Macy follow me a lot).  I was trying to do something, maybe throw away trash, before putting Macy up, and before I finished whatever I was doing, Gavin did the whole routine!  All I had to do was latch the cage door and put the lid back on the canister.  He's getting so big!!

Gavin's Giggle

Gavin babbles a lot, especially when he's playing.  Here's his newest babbling which sounds like he is saying "giggle, giggle, giggle."  It's too funny!  If this video doesn't leave you smiling, nothing will.
