You are 17 months and BUSY! You have enjoyed lots of water play this summer (but because I am often chasing you into the water, I don't have many pics - - not one from our multiple visits to the sprinkler parks in town!). We hired a new nurse for Gracie - Brooke - and it took you a bit to become accustomed to someone new in the house. So, during half of this month, you were attached to me like a barnacle if Brooke was working and daddy wasn't home. Thankfully, you are now much more comfortable, call her "Brooke Brooke" and point at her "da-tooo" tattoos! As the summer break winds down for Gracie and Preston, I look forward to having one-on-one time with you again! You have changed so much in the last several weeks, so some cherished mommy-Gavin time will help burn this stage on my brain.

Following your second haircut... which you loathed!
But look how cute you are... and look how old you look with short hair! |
 |
| You make this face for in response to things that bring you joy, excitement and surprise - - it always makes me smile and want to copy you! |
 |
TROUBLE!!!
I continue to find you climbing and experimenting... you are often disappointed when I don't like your ideas! Thankfully, you don't get too upset and are fairly easily redirected. |
