Gavin: Ten Months

Gavin's turned ten months old on March 18th!  I can't believe he is so close to his first birthday.  WOW.

Gavin had an exciting tenth month, kicked off with the peanut incident.  A big thank you to everyone for NOT telling Grammy/Marjorie about it.

Gavin is still cruising furniture and crawling.  He could walk if he had more confidence - he is so, so close to taking steps.  He is climbing stairs with alarming confidence.

Gavin has some consistent, though infrequent, words:

• On  February 26th, Laura was babbling about dogs.  Gavin started shouting "OOF!"  And when we asked "Gavin, what does a puppy say," he answered "OOF!"  (Laura also chimed in with "Woof starts for W!") 
• He often says "DA!" for dog and "Dada" for Daddy
• He's been doing a version of the all done sign while saying "Ah da!"
• He's finally saying mum-mum more often!
• He sometimes says "Ba" when he wants a drink

Gavin is eating more and more finger foods, and less tubs of purees.  He loves grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, and spinach pancakes.  

He has been drinking water out of a sippy cup - and generally making a huge, wet mess.

Speaking of wet mess, Gavin loves splashing in the dogs' water bowls - especially dumping them completely over.  Poor Pippi and Ries have to wait till he's out of the house or in bed for water!  (Oh yes, and we have Pippi staying with us for a few weeks!)

Gavin loves Pippi.  Pippi is tolerant of Gavin. 

The tenth month was fun - I expect my next monthly recap will announce that Gavin is walking!
