Gavin's check-up went well. The doctor said he was the only child that day that wasn't sick! We can't help but be thankful for that!
Weight: 21.8lbs - 3rd percentile
Height: 31 1/4 inches - 10 - 15th percentile
He is still small, but it is a victory for us that he gained 2 lbs in the past 3 months.
The doctor wants us to try an antihistamine that has a side effect of increased appetite. Even though we trust the doctor, Levi is going to research the medicine before we start giving it to him. I want to be well aware of the negative side effects.
In my last post about Gavin I said he was off baby food except veggies. Well, he is now not eating fruit. The only fruit he will eat are Mandarin oranges, so its back to spoon feeding them. That is no easy task when he wants to be a big boy and do it on his own.
A funny thing he is doing now is wiping is face and blowing his nose. We were eating Subs the other night and he picked up Levi's bread and blew his nose in it! He wipes his face on EVERYTHING! If there isn't a couch, shirt, or blanket to wipe his face on, he will get down on all fours and wipe his face on the carpet! ---His nose is not runny and his face is not dirty.
Gavin is also into imitating dogs. He pants, sniffs the carpet, and licks the back door. My mom is trying to teach her new dog tricks, and when he sees NaNa get out the doggy treats, he does the commands she gives. He will lay on his stomach and look up with his mouth open when NaNa tells the dog to lay down. It is hilarious!

Whitney started imitating dogs around the same age as Gavin. She still does it!! She brings you a toy to throw and she will get on all fours and go "fetch" it!! She loves to give us puppy dog kisses, which is basically being licked to death by a two year old! Gavin is so cute! Just another story to embarass them when they are older.
HA! Sweet hilarious stories!! I miss you all so much! I would love to have seen the look on Levi's face when Gavin blew his nose on his sandwich!
Does Gavin like yogurt? Levi used to eat it like crazy.
