18 Months Old

Where has the time gone?!  How is it that we have an 18-month old child?!  How did we manage to get this far so quickly?!  By the grace of God....

Today, Gavin is 18-months old.  We've noticed a lot of improvements in his behavior and mannerisms over the past month or so.  Eating-wise, he is really feeding himself better with a spoon.  Bedtime-wise, when he hears the words "nite nite", he takes my hand and walks me to his room, waits for me to get in the chair so he can climb on my lap, then after his milk, he willingly gets into his crib and tries to get comfortable.  And I can leave the room without him screaming his head off!  Walking-wise, he is seriously running, not walking anymore.  He loves to run in circles around some object, i.e. table, person, chair, toy.  Talking-wise, he still jibber-jabbers ALL the time but now we're hearing a familiar word here and there, i.e. "lkaidn lkdoaineb Dada aldien;bi  aoinc;ile aiec,ieini Mama aienclie gildk ball ;dineinb eindie, car oibnelic Dy-an (short for Dylan) ald;ino einlkodie Papa....you get the idea.  :)
