Feeling a bit under the weather didn't slow him down much when in came to getting into things. The little guy has mastered zippers. Here's what happens when he gets into Mommy's purse:
He did spend a little down time watching t.v. I even let him eat his carrot-apple muffins (made from juicer pulp!) on the couch.
His appetite stayed strong despite the cold, but we've entered a new phase of eating. He's gotten over the squishing-food-in-fingers phase, the throwing/flinging-food-on-a-spoon phase, and now is into the stacking/lining-up/organizing phase. He does eat the food, but only after he's done building towers, or whatever structure suits his fancy that day. This particular night, it was stacking grape tomatoes on Gavin's head night.
Here's the procedure: 1. Balance tomato on head, 2. Clap and praise himself, 3. Tilt head forward so tomato falls off, 4. Eat tomato, 5. Repeat
The bad table manners continue... Apparently food just tastes better if you are sitting or standing on the table.
And a few sweeter shots!
With a rose from Valentine's Day...
Just goofing around. Can you believe all those teeth! There are actual eight teeth coming in, include four molars, in various stages!!!
And some more quiet time, reading. Gavin's really quite a bookworm. He reads to himself when I'm getting ready in the morning, he reads with me several times a day, before bedtime, and the youth exercise supervisors at the gym tell me that he brings them books and they often spend an hour reading!
So that was our last two weeks, with the exception of a snot-filled trip to the nature preserve where we hunted golf balls. I'm really sorry I didn't have my camera for that one because Gavin was just so cute! And, I figure he got some good practice in for Easter egg hunting!
By the second week at home, Gavin was as stir-crazy as Mommy. He would bring me his shoes, and then take me over to the door, begging to go somewhere. Thank goodness we are finally better and ready to get out!
