Feeding myself (video)

Gaven tried to feed himself food out of the container with a spoon for the first time today. Very exciting! He can get about two spoonfuls in and then the rest ends up on the floor, in his hair, all over us, etc.

Hanging out

Gaven is now regularly saying "hi" and "oh-oh". He'll even say oh-oh right before he drops something on the floor. What a stinker!

Gaven and Vern (video)

Gaven loves the cat, Vern. They have similar interests - boxes, toys on sticks, balls, etc. He chases the cat all over the house. Vern is pretty tolerant but gives Gaven a gentle swat every now and then. As you can see, Gaven is now pulling himself up on everything and "walking" the furniture. Walking should be around the corner!

Oh Summer

We have had a wonderful summer with Gaven. He loves the water - the dog bowl is his favorite. He takes a "swim" every chance he gets. His buddy, Brody, from down the street came over to swim in Gaven's backyard pool.
