Silly Gavin...

pacifiers are for newborns! Gavin will be turning one year old next month and he just barely started sucking on pacifiers. We tried everything we could to get him to take one when he was a little baby, but he just wouldn't have it. Suddenly he wants one! So funny. Maybe it'll help him sleep better at night?? Gavin is getting ready to walk. He pulls himself up to couches, bathtubs, etc. and walks along them. However, he can't seem to hold onto the church pew. Yesterday he fell twice at church and bonked himself pretty good. See the bruise on his poor little forehead? He's got a matching one on the side of his head that you can't see in the pic. I felt like I deserved the "Bad mother of the year" award yesterday, letting him fall twice. Anyway, back to walking...he now pushes away and balances for several seconds. He's growing up so fast.
