18 Months

I can't believe it has been so long since my last post! Can you even believe Gavyn is 18-months-old? I sure can't. Where did all this time go? I love to look at Ryan and be like, 'Remember last year when we would stretch his legs and arms and hope one day he would be moving more?' Now he is a crazy man! Ok, not really crazy but way more active/mobile than we hoped those first months. He is really crawling all over the place. I think soon he will move past the army crawl and onto all fours. He can pulls his knees up under himself and straighten his arms but he hasn't actually moved yet. He gets so proud with a HUGE smile and then sits on his butt. :) He has also discovered the stairs and my are they fun! He can't go up by himself yet but if you put a little hand on his butt he does most the work if not all of it. He is of course slow and steady, true to form but we are moving! The first time he did it we were all home and it was the most exciting thing to happen in our house. All the boys were excited and cheering him on. I tell ya, that brotherly love can't be messed with! He is starting to be more chatting and that is really good. We did line up Speech for him with First Steps and he starts next week. Just since he was evaluated about a month ago he is making more sounds/words. But I know how important early intervention is for everything and I would rather get him going now. Over all though we have no complaints. He just keeps moving forward and making progress and we just keep getting him all the help he needs.
