Gavin-isms

March 2008
We've been trying to get Gavin off the binky so to slowly do it we only let him have it at nap time and bed time. So it pretty much just stays in the crib. After he wakes up and we come to get him out, he will either bite down on his binky and hold on for dear life so we can't take it out or he will spit it out and say "plaaaaaa!" It depends on his mood. Well last night, after he'd been asleep for a couple of hours, I heard him yelling "Mama! Mom! Mama!" I quietly opened the door to see why he was awake. He was searching all over his crib for his binky. He would crawl to one end and pat his hand around the matress to see if he could feel it, then crawl to the other end. He only has a little touch lamp in his room that was on low, so it's hard to see. I couldn't wait too long because I felt bad that he couldn't find it, so I finally went in and found it for him. He stuck it in his mouth and laid right back down.

Yesterday Gavin learned how to open our door that goes from the house out to the garage! When Dan got home from work, I said, "Gavin, go show daddy what you can do to the door." He proudly walked over to the door smiling and while staring at Dan, he opened the door. Then Dan promptly put on one of those childproof doorknob thingys and Gavin started crying! It was kinda sad because he was so excited to have gotten it open and then we dashed his dreams!
