A Year In Review - Gavin James

 

Here is Gav at his one year photo shoot.  He looks like a little angel! 

The rest of the photos are fantastic and I will post on another blog.

So it's time for Gavin's year in review blog.  I did the same for Jack when he turned one.  It's basically a summary of all the major milestones throughout his first year of life.  Probably not the most exciting blog to most people.  But I find it so fascinating how many changes a baby goes through in just one year.  Their little bodies are so amazing!  It's just one thing after another. So I like to have it all in one post so I can look back and see how the little peanut has developed this year.  Here's how he stacked up...

So there you have it - Gavin's first year in a nutshell.  Now all of his first year birthday blogs are officially over.  It has been a crazy year but I am so sad to see that it's gone.  I feel like we just brought him home from the hospital!  Having Gavin has been such a joy to all of us and an amazing addition to our family.  I love being his and Jack's mommy!  Sadly, Gav is no longer a little baby - he's a full-fledged toddler, running around with his older brother.  He's just a little ball of laughter and energy.  And as much fun as I am having with him at this age, I so miss cuddling him as a newborn baby.  Maybe I need to have another one - hehe!
