18 months old today!

Today was Gavins 18 month mark... I can't believe how old he has gotten! Time goes by too quickly as I'm sure you have all experienced! I knew this blessed day would come when I got to enjoy church again... and I think Gavin did too (after a few screams and tears). Thanks to the most amazing nursery leaders I really felt comfortable dropping him in and kissing him goodbye... though I did check in between classes to snap a quick pick through the window :)

Here he is walking into the room...



And when he watched me leave...



And and hour later...

Good boy!
Anyway, for my own documentation and for his grandparents who never see him I thought it would be fun to write down all the words he says on a daily basis this week... it was really fun to see how much of a vocabulary he has gotten... here is what I remembered to write down (94 words in all):

car, tractor, bike, motorcycle, stuck, banana, box, ball, football, golf ball, jacket, beep, sock, shoe, cracker, cheese, cup, bowl, spoon, fork, hot, mama, Dada, Kacie, Cade, Amy, Phil, Lindsay, Matt, grandpa, Jesus, baby, pillow, bed, clock, tweet, paper, train, choo-choo, chair, peas, beans, hi, hello, bye, crazy, two, go, outside, Elmo, block, cookie, pizza, quesadia, chicken, ouch, tree, rock, pine cone, key, love you, cloud, moon, apple, belly button, elbow, knee, book, broom, trash, stinky, please, thank you, more, up, glasses, blankey, bubble, boat, pants, home, chip, wet, zebra, clothes, flower, temple, pen, cook, phone, puddle, off, out, and mine

sweet! No hallway baby chasing for you during the 2/3 hour of church! Thanks a million for the heavy animal. Still need to know how much we owe you, so I can give it to you when you finish the bunny.

THANK YOU for sharing your awesome crafty/sewing talents with us so we could have a heavy stuffed animal for K's therapy. You are so cool, and RayRay (or is it Nolan)is so right to crush on yoU!
