Last Thursday Lindy called me at work and her first words were "You won't believe what Gavin did." Knowing Gavin, very little surprises me and I wasn't even surprised when Lindy informed me Gavin climbed at of his crib after his afternoon nap. We've talked about his ability to perform this task and we wondered when the day would come. I think I'm more surprised he wasn't climbing out several months ago. We decided to wait a few days to see how things progressed. He climbed out again and again over the next few days after naps and then yesterday morning after sleeping through the night. To make things a bit safer for Mr. Climber Man we converted his crib into a toddler bed last night. Here are some pics that show how Gavin climbs out as well as a before and after of the crib. The crib is made by Baby's Dream and is super awesome as it has several functions. It's a normal crib with two different mattress heights (one for a baby and one for a toddler), and converts from a crib into a toddler bed, and then into an adult full-size bed. I jokingly told Gavin last week he could take his bed with him to college. Isn't it nice to have options?

When it comes to dancing there's no worse sight than seeing me cut a rug. Behind closed doors and away from others I have no problem dancing. But the kind of flailing, ridiculous movements that I make simply aren't meant for public consumption. Gavin however, instinctively knows how to dance. He's been doing it for about as long as I can remember, even before he was able to walk. We'd have music playing and he'd rock back and forth in his high chair while eating.
The video below shows his latest moves to a brand new tune called Heartless by Kanye West (iTunes link). Enjoy.
