FANTASTIC
This little guy of ours is so AWESOME!!!! I am just Amazed at how well he is adjusting to this new way of life so quickly.
Gavin is walking so much more here than he was in the orphanage.
He discovered playing with a big water bottle is sooooooo much FUN!!!
Now that's a MILLION DOLLAR SMILE!!!
I explained to Gav that with 7 kids in our family it is very important he learns how to do his own laundry.
Drinking out of his new sippy cup like a CHAMP!!! He is also eating so well!! YAY!!!
Loved his first tub bath. I did make a note to wear full rain gear in the future!!!
Happy, Happy Boy!!!
After his tub he got right to work. Climbing!!
He made a quick call to his Daddy!!
He reorganized my backpack.
He was going to reorganize my suitcase but decided he just wasn't ready for that kind of commitment.
But he was willing to investigate the hair product bag.
After so much hard work it was time to sit with his big brother Nick for some serious snug time! He pretty much fell right to sleep. He fell asleep a little after 10 pm and woke up at 5 am. He slept GREAT and woke up with a huge beautiful smile!! I so thought about trying to get him to sleep a little bit more but that SMILE just won me over. So up it was!!
After breakfast we got all bundled up and went to the store with Conor. I am pretty confident Gav has never been in a store before and he did FABULOUS!! He looked around at everything and quickly found the cookies and pointed to all of them. We bought 2 packs :)
Then we got home and played with all the plastic bags because that is sooo much FUN!!!
So much fun that results in incredible heart warming smiles like this!!!
So much fun is very tiring for one little guy so nap time came in a hurry. He is resting so peacefully that I will be joining him in about 5 minutes.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!!! Thank you for all the PRAYERS for Gavin - obviously you can see that they are being heard and granted!!! So Incredible!!!!
my heart literally feels like it could burst with joy! xxxx
