Our Little Boy is 2!

Gavin turned 2 years old on the 21st. It’s hard to believe we have had him for that long! The other night Brent and I were talking about how it doesn’t seem like it’s already been 2 years ago that we were bringing him home from the hospital on Thansgiving day. Time has gone by really fast.

On his birthday we went out to Tremonton and had a party with my family. He had so much fun playing with his cousins and opening presents! Then on Sunday we celebrated all of the November birthdays with the Hirschi Family. Brent's grandma Rhea is turning 94 this month! Happy Birthday Grandma Rhea! We love you!

A few fun things about Gavin:

* Right now his favorite food is hot dogs. Whenever I ask him what he wants to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner his answer is always “Hot Dogs”.
* He is doing really well with the potty training. I am trying not to force the issue and we are taking it slow, but he is doing great! I need to work on my patience a little bit though (he likes to sit on the potty for a LONG time!).
* He is attached to this blanket that my Aunt Tammy made that has airplanes all over it and has fuzzy edges. He calls it his “Ma Mine” (How he says airplane).
* He says Choo Choo Train so cute. It sounds like “Doo Doo Mine”. (Check out the video)
* Some of his favorite things to do: read books, play with Play Doh, jump onto the bean bag or a pile of pillows, play with his cousins, run around the house being a goof ball, help me clean.
* He is such a smart kid! I am amazed everyday at all of the things he can do and remember. He knows his colors and most of the alphabet. He can also count to ten. He is learning so many new words each day and he loves to repeat what everyone else says! We have to be careful what we say around him! :) Lately he has been saying two words together, like: "Fruit Snack", "Cheese Toast", "Yellow Duck", etc.

He is such a sweet & fun little boy and we are so blessed that he is a part of our family. Happy Birthday Gavin! We love you!
