Oh Gavin!

What has Gavin been up to lately is the question I get a lot. Last week our landscapers left out a big garbage can full of leaves, grass trimmings, etc. Gavin decided to pull it on himself. He was pinned between the garbage can and a bush that was near by. The landscapers came running and one even jumped the gate to help him. They were very apologetic but Gavin was fine as usual and thought about doing it again. His new favorite thing to do is jump from the couch to ottoman, which Brent taught him how to do.

The other day we were at Target and as usual I had to tighten the cart strap so tight that Gavin could barely breath but if I don't, he either climbs out or turns around and starts to pull Brent's hair. When we were standing in line to check out he pushed his stomach out with great force and broke the plastic clasp that holds the strap together. Then he proceeded to climb in and out of the cart. The looks from others started coming my way, they were probably thinking why doesn't she strap him in. I just wanted to yell, "He BROKE the STRAP"!

To top it all off, he has learned how to climb out of his bed. The other day I heard a scream followed by crying coming from his room. I found him pinned between the crib and wall. Most days are challenging with this boy but then he does something cute or makes you laugh and then all these things seem not so bad. We love you crazy G!
