Crazy Baby!

On The Move
It's amazing how much life can change in just a matter of days. At the end of last week, Gavin finally figured out how to crawl.  It was wobbly and unsteady at first and he had to rock back and forth to propel himself forward.  However, in just a few short days, he's mastered the art of crawling and can now travel across the room before we even realize he's moved from the spot where we put him down.  His eyesight seems to have improved as well since he's able to spot Ryan's most coveted toys, wires, plugs, and every potential choking hazard and quickly make his way toward them!  It doesn't matter how many fun baby toys we surround him with, he's only interested in Ryan's things or dangerous objects!



Call Of The Wild
Gavin has recently discovered his mating call. It's a high-pitched, bird-like shriek that he does when he's happy, excited, or trying to get Ryan's attention. Usually, Ryan responds with his own version of the high-pitched shriek and then the two of them continue with their own private conversation that apparently only they can understand. Since I am not fluent in bird calling, I can only guess what they're talking about. Whatever the topic is, it seems to be entertaining to both of them and doesn't appear to be fighting, so I'm happy!



Brotherly Love
Apparently, this clip depicts affection between brothers. I hope as they get older it becomes more obvious when they're being affectionate and when they're actually fighting. Otherwise, I won't be sure when to intervene because it all looks rough to me! Aside from those times when they're disagreeing over toys, Ryan and Gavin are completely enamored with each other. (Gavin thinks all toys are fair game, especially the itty bitty ones. Ryan, on the other hand, insists all of his toys, even the ones that are so large you can ride them, are choking hazards and should be kept as far away from Gavin as possible.) I hope they continue to have a close relationship as they grow up, because brothers often make the best friends!
