Gavin was born at 42 weeks gestation which means he's officially been on this side of my tummy as long as he was inside. Was I really pregnant for THAT long?! While I contemplate this, here's what the little G-man has been up to lately:

• Gmummy reported that Gavin took two small steps one evening while she was babysitting. He hasn't done it again since then, but we may have a full-fledged walker in a few more weeks!
• Gavin talks with his mouth full at the dinner table even though he doesn't know how to speak yet. For now, he's satisfied with yelping and gheeing with a mouthful of applesauce.
• Since the weather has gotten cooler, he has had goosebumps several times. I almost didn't recognize them the first time. They're the cutest tiny baby goosebumps - so adorable! I've resisted the urge to find my camera to take a picture, though, in favor of finding him a blanket or sweater.

Gavin's "chocolate stain" on his nose rubbed off after a day of Monkey nuzzling. All that's left from his surfing incident is a little pink mark on the tip of his nose. I wonder what kind of trouble he'll get into now?
