Vann, I apologize for not blogging the way I did for your older brother and sister. It is not because you are the third child and therefore less special. You were handpicked by God to come at the exact right moment. I fawn over you like you were my first. My goodness how I love you.

You are crawling, crawling, crawling! If you see plastic or paper on the floor, you make a mad dash to get to it before we can take it away! You go from room to room and Gavin & Carrigan think its too funny to watch! They do have to keep their rooms super clean as to keep objects out of your mouth, though. You love big sisters room the most because of her window that looks out onto the neighborhood and she has a keyboard you like to bang on. You like to crawl after a ball and of course after Teller and phoebe!
You don't like baby food yet, but will eat small amounts of yogurt and I've snuck you spaghetti sauce which you thought was quite yummy! You won't take a paci. You cry when mommy hands you over or leaves the room. Carrigan will say, "Oh, Vann, why do you just lov our mommy so much?!?" Sister is quite jealous that you not cuddle her the same way you will with me. :)
You love to BANG objects on surfaces. The louder, the better! You have your first tooth!
You won't sleep in your bed. You sleep In bed with me. During you long naps I just hang around next to you or fall asleep. I'm pretty sure this means you are rather spoiled, but that is the blessing a stay at home mother is allowed, - Whn I lay you down in your crib, you lift up your legs and slam the down. It makes a louder thud than my bed. You instantly know you are in your bed and pop up. You do the slam test in Mommy's bed, then relax and keep sleeping. Silly, smart baby. :)
You cry in your car seat and it gives mommy a heartache, I can't unbuckle you fast enough when we arrive. I can't stand to hear you cry for me.
You love Gavin to hold you and walk around the room. You bite on his shoulder. Pulling his hair while giving him luvins is also a fav. To keep you calm if I need to walk around without holding you, w play the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song.
