{Gavin is 2}

Gavin, Gavin, Gavin!

G-man turned 2 on May 24th. This kid surely keeps me on my toes. At his 2 year old doctors visit even the doctor said, "man, you really have to keep your eyes on this kid, don't you?". He is seriously into EVERYTHING. Pots, pans, toys, dirt, FLOUR (see below), rocks... you name it, he will make a mess of it. WOW! My house is clean one minute and trashed the next all because of him. He empties laundry baskets about 2 seconds after the clothes are folded! And then he laughs. He knows it is naughty and LOVES it!

He is also VERY tender. If I raise my voice at him he gets very sad and says, "ma'ma" in the sweetest, saddest voice and just wants to cuddle to make sure I still love him. He is SO sweet and LOVES his mommy so much. I can count on him any time to hug and kiss me. Although with that comes a lot of clingy-ness. He ALWAYS wants his ma'ma and has a hard time letting me out of his site.

He is still TINY (13% for weight). We worried because he is very random when it comes to eating. We asked the doctor and she assured us that only eating one good meal a day is very normal for a 2 year old boy. He isn't a fan of food.... still!

(After dinner at Greg's parents house one night Gav came out of the laundry room like this. He had taken the lid off of a HUGE bucket of flour and tossed it ALL over the room. The room looked like a beach and he looked like a ghost!)

Gavin is FULL of personality.  He likes to dance, jump and somersault and he still loves cars, balls and rocks. He is sneaky and funny and is getting smarter each day. He sings his ABC's and counts to 10. He says a lot of words and is very polite, saying please and thank you on his own. He really loves to swim and isn't a fan of strollers or shopping carts. He would rather walk and destroy!

Although he didn't understand, he had the BEST birthday party ever! We were at Disneyland! It was SO much fun to celebrate with him there!

Post Edit... About a week after the flour incident, I was off photographing and I left the kids with Lynn. They were outside playing and Gavin did a repeat of the flour but this time with a flower pot full of dirt. Lynn said he looked exactly the same as the with the flour but luckily this one happened outside. I was finding dirt in his crevices for days! :)
