Grabbin' Gavin: April Was...Growing, Rolling, and Exercising

I'm definitely a happy baby as well as patient, easy-going, and smiley. I still squeal like a panda and jibber-jabber quite a bit. I was introduced to the Exersaucer, the jumper, and the big kid umbrella stroller this month, all of which I love. Everyone's really surprised how much time I can spend on my tummy or just playing. Although, one downside is my newfound interest in these activities means there's also a renewed sense of interest on my big sisters part, so sometimes we end up wanting to play with the same things. Here are some shots of me in action.

Tummy Time
Since I've always had pretty good neck control, I actually really enjoy tummy time. The better to see you with, my dears!

Exersaucer
The exersaucer was taken out so that I could be placed somewhere safely. I immediately found the same star springs that Claire did when she got it, but I quickly moved on to putting things into my mouth. The only downside is the electronic items (the rainbow and the music player) don't seem to work anymore, but what I don't know I can't miss, right?

Headscratching
I recently found the top of my head ... and then scratched it. I wasn't in any pain, but Mommy wasn't too happy about it.

Big-Kid Stroller
Our family has a lot of strollers -- big ones, little ones, heavy ones, expensive ones, free ones, light ones, single riders, double seats -- and one of our favorite happens to be the free one from BRUs. Go fig. Luckily, we own both a pink and blue one, so there shouldn't be too much fighting in the future because there's enough for all of us!

Grabbing
If I see something I want, don't be surprised to see my hand shoot out to reach for it. I haven't perfected actually grabbing it the first time, but I'm getting there.

Smiling
What can I say? I'm a smiley kid. I'm also ticklish and will giggle if you tickle my tummy which Mommy likes to do with her nose when she's changing me. Hehe!
