I honestly think that we are the parents of one of the coolest/goofiest kids on the planet. I just love being around Gavyn. He's so smart, so funny, and I mean, look at him ---> he's obviously very cool.
Every day when I get home from work I talk to him about how our days went. Usually, he'll just agree with anything I say and finally reply with, "OUTSIDE!?!" So that he can go out on our porch and draw on his chalkboard. I've been carrying on conversations with him a lot lately because that's how he picks up on new words.
Gavyn has recently learned how to:
- Pee on the potty (not full-time yet)
- Draw a "clue" (Blue's pawprint), a smiley face, a circle, and an apple.
- Say 'grandma', 'come here', 'go outside', 'want to eat this', 'sorry', 'please', 'thank you', 'welcome', 'i love you', 'blue's clues', 'batman', 'a clue, a clue!', 'what's up?', 'what are you doing', 'ice cream', 'chicken' (he calls just about everything he eats chicken), 'banana', 'apple', 'cars', 'sky', etc, etc. I could go on and on.
The point is, his vocabulary is becoming very expansive and I'm so proud of him!
He has also learned most of the words to the Blue's Clues song, and at the very end when Steve says, 'Think, think, thiiiiink', Gavyn puts his hands on his face like Steve. He'll draw a clue on his drawing paper, on his chalkboard, or on his little doodle pad and then exclaim, "A CLUE, A CLUE! MOMMY, A CLUE!!!"
I can't believe how big he's getting. And I know I say it all the time, but believe me, I'll be saying it for the rest of my life.
Oh, and about the picture to the left... This is what I walked into at about 11 pm. I was getting ready to go to bed and checked on him. Prior to picking him up and laying him down on the bed, I snapped this shot.
HOW DO YOU FALL ASLEEP LIKE THAT?!

wow, it looks like he has your EXACT eyes. he's really cute. how old is he now? 2?
and thanks, i wanted to pick a name that not every other dog had, hah. so i looked at baby names online and saw koda and liked it, loll. But, do you not like having people look at you like "the mom and dad"? I think it's awesome, I've always wanted to be a young mom. I think it helps you relate to your kids better when they're older.
so i was reading one of your comments you left casey and i saw you were talking about pet luv. its really GOOD and CHEAP, two of my favorite words in one sentance, and they do a good job. so far weve had my two pitbulls fixed there and 3 cats or maybe 4, i havent gone to them when the dogs and cats had any serious issues but when it comes to shots, gettin em fixed and declawed for both dogs and cats theyre awesome.
OHHH and did I mention SUPER FREAKING CHEAP!
just thought id remind you. i think it was 38 or something low like that per cat
