Yes... I know the music is cheesy but what can I say? I love those two wonderful men in my life and so this music just fits them perfect. Anyway, here are some pictures we took this weekend. We didn't do much other than relax and ride around the neigbhorhood in the golf cart. Gavin is really insistent on driving the golf cart these days. Trouble I say! He also likes to sing songs which sound similar to an east Indian chant. I will have to post some video soon of that... it's really too funny. Gavin's latest loves are his new Bob the Builder DVD (get this if you have a boy! It's wonderful) and construction equipment. He's "moooooved" off of the cow thing here recently and life now revolves around diggers, dumpers and dozers. Absolutely every piece of construction equipment in Franklin has been pointed out to me in the past month. If I'm ever on the phone with you and you hear Gavin screaming, it's most likely because he sees a dump truck, dozer, etc...
So we still aren't hearing that many "words" or at least that's what I thought. I had Gavin evaluated by the state's early intervention specialist and he tested above average in his speech. Really??? I can't understand a darn thing he's saying. I mean, I know what he's squealing about or fussing at but I didn't realize that it is considered "talking". My friends Sarah and Linda both have children who I swear can give full dissertations so my perception is a little askew I guess. Anyway, the comical part of this whole evaluation though was that he scored "exceptional" in his social skills. Amazing!!! My child is sociable??? Who could fathom that? Especially since I am such and introvert.. .ha ha ha. I think I've had Gavin face forward in a sling or carrier since the minute he was born. He lives to socialize. Yesterday, my mom had about 12 women over at her house for a shower. Gavin just walked right on in and started entertaining all of them. No fear, no hesitation... just socializing. His latest thing is that he knows the different houses we are passing in the neighborhood. I take him for golf cart rides several times a day and we go to look at the construction equipment here in the neighborhood and then we usually stop to visit a friend or two. As we pass different friends houses he points to the ones he knows he has playmates at... even if he's only been there once. What a nut! By the way, do you notice the matching outfits? I'm such a dork! I'm just glad Chad was willing to participate!
