Gavin meets hard things....

Poor little Gavin doesn't get as much blogging or FB time as his big brother.  Only because he doesn't talk yet and tell me ridiculous things.  But he is plenty cute, amazing, and entertaining in his own right.   And he is doing new things and making us laugh every day!

Gavin's experience thus far in Oregon can be summarized as "Gavin meets hard things".  Not all bad, but not all good either.  He was already eating plenty of solid food before the move, but in the last couple of weeks he has really mastered picking up little things (Cherrios, etc).  His favorite is frozen peas.  I think they feel good on his mostly toothless mouth.  He gets all excited and shoves them all in at once and then has to work on them for a while.

More food adventures.  He is a mess.

The other hard things aren't quite as positive.  In the last week he has mastered the army crawl.  He has not mastered the idea that he must look where he is going.  So, he tends to crawl right into things like the corners of the walls, the table legs, etc.  And his most favorite thing to do is to make it under the coffee table and then try to lift his head up (more hard things).  For the most part he has now figured out how to get from sitting to army crawl position without continuing to bang his head.  Yah, Gavin!

Here is a video of the Gavin doing his army crawl this morning.  By this point in the morning he was a bit tired as you can see.... but you get the idea.  :-)
