This week on Wednesday I picked up Gavin from daycare. It seemed like a normal day, Gavin running around playing etc. As we were eating dinner Gavin decided to not eat anything which is really odd, but hey if we offer and he doesn't want food... well we tried! So we got him out of the chair and tried to get him to play with toys as we finished our meal. Josh got on the floor with Gavin to play and Gavin burped. We both said are you ok buddy? Not two seconds later the longest and biggest projectile vomit came out of gavins mouth right at Josh ... (remember Josh is on the floor with him... eye level.) Josh held out his hands and didn't know what to do. I swooped up Gavin and ran to the bathroom. We now have vomit all over the three of us and all over the living room carpet. Josh is trying to keep Cody from eating the vomit and I am trying to keep Gavin calm. The poor little guy had no clue what just happened. (he also hates it when he has stuff on his hands etc.) I could not stop laughing and telling Josh that that was the funniest thing ever. I mean, really, that could not be replayed ever.
Poor baby got sick three more times, in 3 hours and then made it through the rest of the night peaceful. But two days later we are still dealing with the other end of the stomach flu. This will definately be one day we won't forget... as parents you want to help your children, but when you have a year and a half year old that can't communicate they feel bad, they jsut don't know what to do but to vomit all over their parents. Josh did end up getting sick also, time will tell if mommy gets it too!
Hope you feel better daddy and Gavin.. we love you to pieces.

18 months old ... wow a year and a half already??
A year and a half as gone by, where has time gone? You are now a full blown toddler who has his own opinion, loves the word NO, wants to do what you want to do, and still want to be held often. Mommy is 6 months preggo and her belly is big! You point to her belly and say baby. When we ask you if mommy has a brubbe or sissy for you .. you always reply SISSY! Then we ask you what you want to name her and you say SASHA! (Miss Amy's Dog) sooo funny.. and no mommy is not trying to get you to say sissy.. you came up with that idea yourself! We will find out who you will be a big brother to in APRIL! I am sure this baby knows your voice just as much as mommy, daddy, and cody. You are a TALKER! You string together phrases of 3 words at a time, and chatter your own language constantly! The dr. did say that is advanced.. which I knew.. but being around older kids at daycare, and as much as mommy likes to talk- this is not too suprising. This month's big activities: Mommy's 30th birthday party duckpin bowling, Rauch christmas, Walther christmas, Bryant christmas, Leverenz christmas, Monkey Joes with Mimi, 2 weeks off with mommy - 1 week off with daddy, visit Dalena Jeffries, new years (we did nothing different) lol.
Your 18 month stats:
weight: 25 pounds 50%
height: 31.5 inches 49%
head: 48%
*Your favorite phrases are: What's that? Cody in here? Daddy in here? Papa in here?
*You like to say: papa choo choo, papa boat, mi mi mi (miss amy ), sasha - you talk about her everytime you hear a dog bark or randomly as we drive, night night, poo poo, cookie- this stands for pretty much anything crackers etc., snow,Moon - Aunt Kate got you a turtle with the stars and moon on the ceiling.. you are obsessed.. you even find the moon on the way home from daycare!, NO- now you say it with a attitude, you also say no even when you mean yes, you say several new things all the time.. so often I can't keep up with them a rowing a fit until younymore. You amaze us with your vocabulary everyday.
* You love to dance, in the car and at home. you got new instruments for christmas. You always calm down in the car when we play your kid cd's and you get upset if the radio in the car doesnt' work.
* you are obssed with the real vaccum now. You still like your play vaccum, however as soon as I bring you home you run to the closet and won't stop until I get it out. You will and can push the big vaccum around.
* You still enjoy taking mommy's phone and talking on it. (YOu don't actually talk when people are on the phone...) The only person you actually pretend to call is Papa. Very funny.
* You still go to bed around 7-7:15. You only nap at 1 for 2ish hours. (you will fall asleep in the car if you are driving around 9) You get tired around 8:45 am and start grabbing pillows and a blanket to go night night. You still wake up around 5:15 am every day.
* You are obsessed with talking about poo poo. you tell us when you go poo poo, you talk about cody going poo poo outside, you started taking your stuffed animals and saying poo poo and wanting a cleaner to wipe their butt. So we got you a big boy potty to sit on.. at least we will try to get you used to it if you like to talk about it this much!
*You still like to eat ALOT. you are my fruit and veggie boy. Still not so much into meat, however if it is diced up tiny (and i mean tiny) you will eat it if it is in a sauce. we got you to eat a quesidilla this week and miss amy said you actually ate some pizza for the first time this week. The first week of Jan. Miss Amy switched you to the big kid table.. (a little tyke picnic table ) to eat snack and lunch at! BIG BOY! She said you liked pushing all the trays around.. which the girls did not like.
*at monkey joes this month, you instantly started running and screaming after all the kids. You wanted nothing to do with the toddler area.. you wanted the big kid area. Daddy took you down the biggest slide with him 3 times, then you decided you wanted to do it all by yourself! I couldn't believe it.. and wasn't sure if you loved it or hated it.. but you did it 2 more times by yourself .. so I think you liked it!
As long as Daddy held you, you were ok.. but once we put you on his lap... you did not like that!
We love you Gavin Jay.. we can't wait for you to be a big brother.. we know you will be great! You already like to help throw diapers and trash away for us, grab shoes, and put things in and out of the washer and dryer. I know you will be a big help as mommy gets less able to do the things she normally does! Of course you Love to clean- clean windows, cabinets, floor, your highchair, etc. you probably want to clean about 70 percent of your day! You really are a fun loving boy who loves to laugh and spend time with his mommy and daddy. You certainly are not scared to go out and do things, like at monkey joes, or to run off and play when you get to new places.. good thing you are not shy like mommy was!

You were not so sure about Santa.. But you gave him a High Five!
Mommy's 30th birthday we went duckpin bowling! FUN! You got to run everywhere and throw balls!
You love trying to push trucks around.. here you are trying to ride your dumptruck .. which is not a riding toy.
You love your mommy... and lots of kisses!
We practiced looking in your stocking everyday the week of christmas.. and you were excited Christmas morning!
What else is in there?
You and your cousin Hallie .. she got a sweeper for christmas which you wanted, so she played with Gigi's and you were not so sure about that! gotta love the little cleaners!
Your first snow.. 2 inches.. you loved it and cried NOOOOOOO.. (snow!) but you did NOT like gloves, so you took them off and fell .. and did not like the cold.
We love you Gavin Jay.. we can't wait for you to be a big brother.. we know you will be great! You already like to help throw diapers and trash away for us, grab shoes, and put things in and out of the washer and dryer.

17 months old!
Gavin and Miss Amy and some of the girls at day care going on a carriage ride
Thanksgiving at Mimi's house and Daycare holiday party - a carriage ride.
* you are constantly saying "Whats this?" about 90 times a minute. You also say this to things you already know the answer to.. if we say back.. what is it.. you just don't respond and ask again.
* You were a social butterfly at Thanksgiving playing with the dog and bunny rabbit. You were pretty open to saying hello, giving kisses and walking around. You just didn't want people to hold you too much.. unless it was mom.
* You also slept for the 1st time!!!! in the car to Mimi's house.. we left at 7 pm and it was dark out! Yay for mommy and daddy!
* You like to eat things in bigger chunks.. a whole muffin, a half a nutigrain bar at a time.. etc. we still don't love meat or grilled cheese just yet. We do love peas, mac n cheese, spaghetti, FRUIT!, and snacks! still on whole milk.
* You have been teething again.. molars! Your hand is always in your mouth, we are constantly giving Motrin, you are drooling, and cranky.
* The Christmas tree is up and you want to pull the ornaments off of the tree... not at Amy's or Gigis house.. just at home.
* you are starting to have fits for mom and dad again.. this leads to more time outs and constant power struggles for mom and dad. You will instantly stop if gigi or papa is there.. hmmm.. just want to play mom and dad huh?
*Mommy had her ultrasound.. but we still don't know if it is a brother or sister for you.. you still like to point to my belly and say baby.
* you love little animals that sing and dance to Christmas music.
* you are starting to throw your ball more frequently.. working on that throwing arm.. uncle Neal would be proud.
* You enjoy Miss Amy's house..
* We turned your car seat around to face forward ... you think you are hot stuff!
* You still loving finding bugs. You will search under cabinets and baskets to try to find them for me.
* You really don't take a AM nap at Amy's.. but at home you still do .. anywhere from 40-1.5 hours.
* You LOVE music. you like to dance, and listen to toddler music in the car.. you constantly say More!
* You still wake up between 5 - 5:30 or earlier. since you are cutting teeth you are up for about an hour in the middle of every night. (but you don't cry.. just awake rolling around.)
Here you are tyring to "help" daddy hang Christmas stuff.. mommy looked down and you were already up!!! MONKEY!
Mom, I just want to be like Dad! No fear!
We are loving the holidays with you .. and can't wait to share more traditions with you! We have been driving around so you can see lights up at night.. you LOVE them! We are working through your tantrums with us.. at least this 2nd time around it is only for mommy and daddy.. you are trying to challenge who is in charge exactly! We love you every minute and love seeing you grow. You are starting to snuggle more and want to watch "shows" (toddler music videos on demand) and like to cuddle with pillows.. This will help you transition to your big boy bed here very shortly!

We are FINALLY starting to like daycare... it only took till November!
* Some words you say: Ne- clean, Ni, Ni- Night (go to bed), nac- snack, nu nu- thank you, ese- please, NO, more, balls, dog, puppy, wow when something cool happens, Woah- when you fall or something gets knocked over, eat- treat (when we leave you give cody a treat), book, bubbles, bubble- music on TV, slide, teeth, you recently love to ask "whats this?" to everything!, sasha and Toby (Miss Amy's dogs), Cowie -cody, pee pee, boobie - you learned these from daddy teaching you body parts as he tries to get you to clean in the bath, mi mi mi - miss amy, gigi, baba- papa,
* You LOVE to sweep the floor.. not the real vaccum.. the pretend one.. you are not so sure about the real one anymore.
* Your bath time consists of you playing with the water coming out of the faucet, and you cry when we turn it off.
*You actually sit in time out like a big boy.-- aka you have been there frequently. and you even sometimes put your self in time out... not really sure why!
*This month mommy was sick with coughing.. you told Gigi .."Mama (cough) (cough)" to tell her I was sick
* You are very concerned with where mama and dada are constantly... possibly stranger danger kicking in again??? even if one of us leaves the room for a minute.
* On fall break, mommy was sick, but we all went to the children's mesuem and played in the little kid area... you had a blast at the water tables, crawling over foam blocks, and pushing a bubble mower.
* We were not sure what you were going to be for Halloween but.. we ended up having you be a cow. Just because the store had your size when we were there .. you do know cow sounds! You LOVED the outfit, you even SCREAMED when Miss Amy tried to take it off becuase you were getting too hot in it at daycare...
* You didn't really trick or treat, instead you walked up and down the sidewalk with the bubble mower.. you were just excited to be outside the whole time!
*Miss Amy started to phase out your morning nap- she says that you usually fall asleep on the floor for about 20ish minutes then still take a really good nap at 1.-- Mommy puts you down for a AM nap and you sleep 1.5 to 2 hours (she needs the sleep too) and a PM nap. but she knows this isn't going to last much longer...
* You point to mommy's belly and say baby.. but that is really your word for bellybutton. You have no concept of me actually having a baby in there.
*You love to snuggle with stuffed animals and etc.
Gavin just today Miss Amy said you are going to be talking... VERY soon. You love to chatter and are starting to mimic your Singamajigs. You love dumping out your balls and walking through them kicking them everywhere.. and you love dumping out your blocks in your dump truck. You recently love miss amy. She was so confused as to why you didn't like her, but now you do like her and blow her kisses everyday we leave. She says you give hugs and want to sit on her lap now... FINALLY... mommy doesn't have to worry so much about you when she is at work! You certainly have a little personality.. last weekend for THanksgiving you were walking from room to room saying ... HI! You were a little shy at first but then quickly started playing with all the kids (well watching them play and you playing with your toys.. still not playing with kids yet). YOu love music! We know you will love being a big brother because you really do love being around kids. Last weekend, you kept trying to sit on all the kids laps- it was too cute! You are now starting to climb up on the couch and on chairs if they are not pushed in. This keeps mommy on alert at all times.. we can not trust cody or you for one second together.. someone is bound to get hurt.. aka YOU!

Gavin's first time picking a pumpkin!
So Gav, you are 16 months old now! Time is just flying by! I often find myself looking back at your baby pictures wondering how you are learning so much so quick! This past month you did lots of things:
You visited the pumpkin patch and apple orchard. -- Tuttles. You had a blast touching a pony, picking pumpkins, walking in mud, going through a hay maze, jumping in a hay pile, driving a pretend tractor, and getting some apples! One thing is for sure, you sure are an outside boy.... finding bugs, playing with bubbles, running up and down our mulch beds, picking berries, finding flowers, digging in mommy's flower pots, and just running around the yard with your bubble mower. You even got to experience your first time raking leaves. You wanted to take the big rake and get going, you also tried to help bag the leaves for daddy.
You still like to sing on your toy.. big boy!
you love vaccums, and helping daddy and mommy whenever!
your first official trip to Tuttles pumpkin patch , a few miles away from our house... you did go last year, but were held the whole time of course..you kept wondering what the vines were.
this was the first pumpkin you wanted. it was hard for you to walk around, you kept tripping on the vines!
of course, being stubborn, you insisted on pulling the cart all by yourself. priceless.
daddy helped you find your way through the maze.
weeeeeeeee.. Hay! You wanted to be like the big kids and jump off the hay pile!
you and papa were driving the tractor!
*Words you say: NO (and you actually will scream it at us and sometimes throw something.. toward the last few days of being 15 months old), bird, turtle, bubble, side (outside), doggie, puppy, bug, book, more, O -cheerios, ma-ma (sometimes mommy), da da, down, gigi, papa, and starting to repeat more things we say... CONSTANT chatter all the times
* animal sounds you make: cat (meow), duck (a weird kkkk sound), dog (woof), bird (tweet, tweet), cow (moo),
* toys you like this month: VACCUM (it was supposed to be a christmas gift.. but daddy had to give it to you...), bubbles, BOOKS (you constantly bring us books you will clear the shelves and go to your room for more,)
* you love your Gavin chair, you like to stand on it and crawl all over it -- even though you know you shouldn't. You often only stand if you see us watching you and then get a smile on your face when we tell you to sit. We take it away from you if you stand more than twice in a row. You usually follow up with crying and then walk over to where we put it and say "more, more?"
*You love chasing your dog. You enjoy taking a toy, having him chase you then run away laughing. SOmetimes you get upset if he takes the toy, other times you just go and get another one. This scares mommy and daddy...
* You have 13 teeth, with one more about to pop out any day. you always are walking around with drool dropping and with your hand in your mouth. Usually you get medicine before bed and daycare daily.
* Your favorite meal is breakfast and usually eat pancakes, waffles, muffins, etc. You still eat a lot but some days you don't have much at daycare.
*You are getting put in time out at daycare, and miss amy says she hasn't had such a stubborn kid in awhile. she is suprised that with a dad as a attorney and mom as a teacher that your personality isn't more of a follow the rules type. --Great... this should be interesting in a few years!
*You still are taking two naps a day, usually each nap is for 1.5 to 2 hours long. starting at 9 and 1.
*You love to have a napkin or wipe to "clean" your hands, face, hair, and clean up around the house. YOu will go and wipe down toys, dishwasher, your highchair, etc.
* You certainly love outside... that is all you want to do.
* you know eyes, ears, mouth, nose, feet, bellybutton, teeth, hair, head,
You are such a big boy, growing more every day. I can tell that you understand much more than I would have given you credit for.. .you love learning. You are starting to imitate what we do such as dancing, or talking. If we tell you to find something or do something you usually respond by doing what we ask.. (find your ball, get cody a toy, wipe your nose, clean around your mouth, go get a book -time for bed.) Love you my big boy! So many fun things coming our way!!

Mr. Independent!
So my love you are 15 months old...
The last couple of months were a little rough on you, mommy, daddy, and daycare. You were seemingly fighting being at daycare, learning how to do things you want to do, and dealing with teething. Temper Tantrums were thrown OFTEN. Miss Amy at daycare got a handle on you after about a month.. but Mommy and Daddy were having one melt down after another every single evening from the minute we walked in the door to the minute you were going to bed. We just couldn't figure it out, was it teething, tiredness, or just plain stubborness? Maybe all three.. but now that you are 15 months old...... You have had a very very very good week! After much love and consistency you are a much happier boy!

* You love playing with your toys again... trucks, balls, blocks, MUSIC, BOOKS, puzzles, bubbles, and your favorite toy of all... CODY!
* You are struggling learning that you can't go outside everytime Cody goes outside.
*Every day you get home from daycare, you run straight to mommy and daddy's room and say "Co wie! Side!" meaning Cody go outside! you put your hand on the door until mommy gets there to open it, then you chase cody to the backdoor to let him out.
* You love chasing cody around the house... you run now !
* you love to play in the bathtub now... for a total of about 10 minutes
* You try to open every single cabinet and play with everything in it.
* You brush your teeth and insist on having "tooth paste on it"
* WHen you play with bubbles outside you can do only that for 40 mintues or more...
* Favorite foods: Anyhting really espically if we put it in your container that you hold on to. You like waffles, pancakes, french toast, watermelon, baked beans, cheerios, wafers, teddy grahms, yogurt.

*you make the sound of a duck, dog, cow
*You laugh all the time... you like to run away from mommy and daddy and do a deep hehe hehe when you shouldn't do something.

The last couple of months were a little rough on you, mommy, daddy, and daycare. You were seemingly fighting being at daycare, learning how to do things you want to do, and dealing with teething. Temper Tantrums were thrown OFTEN. Miss Amy at daycare got a handle on you after about a month.. but Mommy and Daddy were having one melt down after another every single evening from the minute we walked in the door to the minute you were going to bed. We just couldn't figure it out, was it teething, tiredness, or just plain stubborness? Maybe all three.. but now that you are 15 months old...... You have had a very very very good week! After much love and consistency you are a much happier boy!

* You love chasing cody around the house... you run now !

Fun times with daddy! weeeeeeeee
Gavin we love you more and more every day. We couldn't imagine this life without you. We love watching what you come up with every day and just find ourselves staring at you saying... why is he so cute? We sure are one lucky set of parents to have such a loving, caring, and fun little bundle of joy. We can only imagine what else you will get into and what memories we will make. We love you more than words can say.. "Love you in the morning and in the afternoon.. love you in the evening and underneath the moon!"

There's More Than Corn In Indiana!
Gavin has had quite the summer. He has spent LOTS of time with MOMMY! Since his frist birthday he has done lots of things. Below are some pictures summarizing the month of July and his life at 14 months old.
Here Gavin is playing with the Walborn girls in the water. This was really the first time he stayed in the water for awhile... it was about 100 degrees and it was the doggy pool, but hey the kids didn't know that!
*Climb things - better watch stairs and cody stairs ... you get to those super fast... and then fall off just as fast.
* Uses a spoon
* Not really interested in your toys as much
* Pretends to sweep the floor
*Chases cody and gives him his toys, wants to carry his food bowl around, and wants to pretend to feed him.. which cody always thinks you are bring more foood.. the disappointment must be terrible!
* Dances around twirling in a circle, shake your head, and bounce with your legs.
* Plays with anything that is not a toy such as: mommys hair things, nail clippers, brushes, remotes, phones, tupperware, shoes....
* You love to pull out your clothes from the drawer and throw them around your rooom
*You want to be chased around the house... you are close to running...
*YOu play with your water table and will get into a baby pool and play if it is a few inches deep. You LOVE the sprinkler and hose.
* Drink milk from one sippy.. and will drink a pretty good amount of milk a day... if you are reminded.
*Words: Light, outside, cody, ma ma, da da, uh oh, boo, eyes, book, tractor, this, bubble, duck
* you love playing with mommy's hair.. which actually hurts her sometimes...
*digging in dirt, wondering around the backyard and going to our garden
* BUBBLES
* You throw really good temper tantrums.... we try not to laugh.
* everything is the end of the world if it is not your way or we take something away.
* You are starting to protest the carseat, and want to squirm to see the front of the car.
* You brush your teeth.
* you Love medicine... you actually find it on a counter and will point to it and say ummmmmmm.
* you do not like to have anyone hold your hand to walk...
* you really like to squirm when being held.. because you want to be free
* You blow your duck call
* You "smell" flowers
* You have had a very hard time adjusting to day care.. after 8 days you still arn't too happy. Miss Amy says you just realized that you are going to have to be there every day and are not too sure about that.
You cried when you heard the infants cry at daycare... you say hi to the baby when they are crying when you are tyring to take a nap.
* You are MR. INDEPENDENT!
Here gavin is dancing...
We love you sweet baby boy... even though mommy went back to work, we love you just the same if not more!!! We think about you every minute of the day and you brighten our lives! xoxo
