Big boys don't bathe

I was in my bedroom searching for something when I see something white streak in front of my bed. I look up to find Gavin butt naked.
I guess he now knows how to take his diaper off. I asked why he was naked, he walked to the shower and got in. So I guess big boys don't bathe they shower.

Update

Since it has been a few months since I updated I thought it would be about time I got back on top of things.

Gavin
What an incredible kid.   Watching him grow is an amazing thing, he is changing every day.  He had a growth spurt last month and is finally catching up to other kids his age.  He is finally out of the 10th percentile and into the 70th percentile.  18 month clothes are fitting hims just perfect and he will soon be in 2T.

Vocabulary
I should really use the word communication since he communicates but doesn't say a lot of actual words. He can talk, he talks all the time, we just have no clue what he is saying.  He talks on his phone, and will tell you things, no one knows what he is saying.  But there are a few words he really knows how to say; one word he says very loud and clear is SHUT-UP.  He has heard me say that one too many times to the dogs.  Whenever they bark, he points at them and says "Shut up!"  The other word is UH-OH, he loves that word.
Although he doesn't use many words he is very clear on what he wants/needs.  He knows several signs for words, and when all else fails he just brings be things he wants, or takes me to them.

Interests
He LOVES music.  He just can't help it when the music comes on he has to move, even if he can only move an arm or a foot he will be wiggling it away to the beat.  He claps along to several songs, and does a decent job of keeping the beat.  His favorite songs right now are "This Little Light of Mine" from his kid CD, and "Move" by Mercy Me.
He is finally interested in books.  We read every night before bed, he picks the book and we sit and read.  He really loves when Jason reads to him.
Puzzles, he is great at them.  He will sit and do puzzles for an 30 minutes, and he doesn't sit very much every.
He is a water baby!  He would swim all day everyday if I would let him.  He loves the water of any kind, pool, bath, he even like taking showers just to play in the water.

We have been working on learning colors and animals.

Jason
There is not much to say about Jason.  He is an Intern so he works, eats and sleeps.  He leaves the house around 4:30  every morning and gets home usually around 6-6:30 every night.  When he is home he some how finds time to spend with Gavin, do yard work, talk to me and read for work.  He amazes me everyday.

ME
Not much to say about me.  I am 15 weeks now and feeling great.  I will be going to the doctor on Friday, I am pretty sure it is still to soon to find out the sex. (but vote at the top of the page on what you think it will be, boy or girl)
I am make friends here.  There are several intern wives with kids and we have had many play dates.  This weekend is the first meeting for the Oak Leaf Club.  The Oak Leaf club is all the docs and their wives.  So hopefully we will meet some more wonderful people.
Still trying to organize this house.  I am pretty sure the amount of stuff we had doubled while it was in storage.  Once I get it all cleaned and pretty I promise I will put up some pictures.


Well thats is all for now.  Sorry it is so long without pictures.  And try to ignore my many errors, I am just going to blame it all on pregnancy brain :)
