16 Months

I literally cannot believe my big boy is already 16 months old! Where does the time go?? He is growing by the second and is learning so many new things each day!

Here are some things that Gaverdeans is into these days:
  • Playing outside in the backyard! Gav is super active like his dada and could literally live outside. Loves his tractor, swing, roaming for sticks/leaves, gunner, his water table, the hose, and his lawn mower.

  • His new favorite thing to watch on TV is Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars. He loves the song "Mean" and "The Lazy Song." He loves the singing monkeys with Bruno. It's so hilarious to watch him stare at these two random music videos with his mouth wide open, periodically he will shake his arms and head along:)
  • Gavs loves hiding from us and playing chase! We went to Buybuy Baby yesterday and he was hiding behind the clothes racks and cracking up!
  • He is in a toddler bed and when he wakes up he just comes on out of his room all by himself. It's pretty funny. Lately we have clicked on the monitor and he is not in his bed! We go into his room and find him snoozing in stinkbug position on the floor:( We may need to convert back to the crib for a few more months.
  • We just took his paci away last week and he has been fine, but he is waking up so EARLY now :( Momma and dada like to sleep past 6, bud! We are thinking of giving it to him in his bed only for a little while longer for selfish reasons, obviously. Hey people-he used to sleep from 8-8:30 with it! Plus, he LOVES his paci <3
  • He babbles gibberish all day which is pretty funny to listen to. Words he can say clearly are: mama, dada, bo, dogdog, nana (banana), no<---his favorite word;), oh ba!, baba, Ha (help), bu (book), ooon (balloon<--obsessed with these) and "oh dannnng!"<---courtesy of Aunt Ryann.
  • He loves to pick up phones and have pretend conversations. It cracks us up...and everyone says he learned it from me! pfff. I don't agree. I love when he fake laughs. As I type this he is talking on a Lego phone..haha.  
  • Mr. Dean loves reading. His two favorite books are Brown Bear and Toes, Ears, and Nose. He will bring them to hubs and I and say, "buh" hinting he would like it read to him. Love that lil stinker!

  • He naps twice a day: once at 10-12 usually and again at 3:30 or 4...depending on what we are doing. It's been hard for him to sleep in the stroller lately.
  • He loves gunner and bojangs..and loves to jump on them and chase them. Poor puppies.
  • He eats lots of yummy things! Favorites are: steak, rice, green beans, fruit squeezers, bananas, chicken, mac n chee, danimals, goldfish, smoothies, pizza and anything that we are eating or drinking pretty much! You love rice...just like your mama. Jeff says he definitely has my eating pallet (except the pizza-ew.) 
  • Homeboy loves water! Baths, the sink, showering (with dada), the hose, his water table (he will climb up in it fully clothed..have to watch him like a hawk), dog bowls, gutters...etc! He had so much fun this summer at the beach, pools, and at the river. We have a little fishie on our hands!

We are really loving this active stage with our little man. We can't wait until he can fully speak to us and tell us what goes on in that big brain of his :)
