| This is all we got actually in the green chair! You are a man on the move! |

| You are BUSY! |
You are an ever-changing and growing bundle of fun. You are such a happy little guy and continue to be so observant of (and often serious about) the world around you. You love books, dancing and playing with your big brother. You are obsessed with the toys in the playroom that are out of your reach (for a reason) as well as your sister's equipment and accessories. Aside from books, everything that's off limits is pretty much the only thing you want!

| Within eight minutes of starting your monthly photo shoot, you played with toys and books in the family room and then made your way into Gracie's room where you pulled her books off the shelf. |
You are 18 pounds, 13 ounces and are 28 7/8 inches tall. You climb EVERYTHING and are starting to cruise all around the house. You cruise furniture, walls, people to objects, etc.
You're not yet super stable in your transitions, but that instability won't last much longer. I think you're going to be an early walker. I would like to know who told you this is a race! You can slow down a bit!

| Looking cool and retro! |
- Cut your upper two front teeth. At the same time. It was not pleasant - - for either of us. I am not exactly sure why you need to be such an over-achiever and do two teeth at once for the second time. It's just not necessary, Boo-Dee.
- Officially stopped sleeping through the night. The entire month there wasn't one night where you didn't wake up. Surely this has to do with those teeth. I hope. Perhaps it's because I was so happy to share the fact that you've been a brilliant night sleeper since the get-go. Maybe I jinxed us! I really hope it's your teeth. The wake-ups started at the end of last month and I thought maybe it was because of all of your gross motor developments... maybe it's that and your teeth. Whatever the cause, it's been brutal. Between you and your sister's night parties, Mommy walks around like a bigger zombie than usual!
- We took a family drive on a crisp and cool Sunday. During our stop at a park in Danville, you giggled endlessly as you swung next to your sister. Though this wasn't the first time you two have swung together, it's the first time you've been aware that she was next to you and the first time you really enjoyed yourself! Daddy and I couldn't stop smiling at how much you smiled, laughed and kicked your legs.
- Celebrated your first Halloween and were too cute for words!

| You also had another "virtual date" via picture collage with Miss Chloe! Koalas and Elephants might not be compatible, but Gav-oalas and Chlo-ephants sure are! |
- And you became the third little Swann to use Gracie's Rifton desk! Let's just be honest about this desk... with Gracie it was (and sometimes still is) a way to get her up, stable and supported. We generally do pedicures in this seat (without the tray so she can see), but other than that, she doesn't use it much anymore because she is technically too big for it. For you and your brother, well, it is/was a great way to keep you safe and occupied for a few minutes while I get a couple of chores done or, say, run to the bathroom knowing that you can't get into mischief in the two minutes I need to be gone!
One of our many silly songs that I made up on the fly and now it's a keeper...
Busy, busy, busy boy
You bring mommy so much joy
You're my Boo, my Gavin-Man
I'm so in love, yes I am!
xoxo
Mommy
