14 Months of Smiles

You have given us enough smiles in the 14 little months of your life to last us a lifetime Gavin, but we long for more and more.

You have started walking and you did not do it a step at a time, you decided to stand up and take 7-10 steps all at once.

You are a VERY strong willed little boy and have began throwing fits. Yes, you throw yourself on the floor into a belly flop position and you bite the carpet or try to bite the floor. If you happen to be standing you bite the furniture or try and bite one of us. You can scream, shake and cry like nothing we have ever seen. I have started correcting you and you are getting better, but man you can throw some kind of fit boy! It is hard for everyone to imagine that you can do this because they always see you as a jolly little fella.

You are becoming more vocal everyday, entertaining us with constant babbling and laughing. Your vocabulary consist of 12 words in the order you said them:

• Momma
• Dada
• Emma
• Nana
• Uh oh
• Thank you
• Dog
• Rara
• Hi
• Bye Bye
• No
• Beamer

Gavin, we love you so much and are so grateful to have you in our lives {fits and all}. You are the happiest and sweetest little boy we know, but can also throw the biggest fits we have ever seen. You are ALL BOY and keep us moving constantly. You have encouraged us to live a healthier lifestyle, so we can keep up with you and be around for the long haul ~ Thank you!

I wish I could explain to you what it means and does for me everyday when I see that smile on your face. You light up any room you walk into, but you light up my entire LIFE! Your eyes tell a story and even when your not smiling those eyes are saying 1000 words.

We love you so much and are so proud to call you our SON ~ never stop SMILING Gavin Thomas Frazier.
