what's lil brother up to?

Looking over the last few postings, I realized that there is little about our lil G man in there. Surprising too, because he has been up to quite a bit lately. At just over 7 months, Gavin is truly mobile now. The rolling that was highlighted at 6 months has quickly turned into a "wounded crawl". The video below was taken over a week ago, and he's gotten much better since then. But, you'll get the gist.


Also, the first tooth on his 6th month day was quickly followed by a second one, right beside it. Now he appears to be working on the top two. They seem to be quite painful, at time. But in general, Gavin has been quite a trooper.
.
"Hi" can frequently be heard coming from our little guy, lately. As with his sister, we are calling this his unofficial first word. We say that because we know that he does not truly know what it means. But we do know that he hears it A LOT from almost everyone he knows when they first see him. So, weather you have been gone for the day or for a few seconds, you could very likely hear a "hi" when he see you!

Gavin loves to watch everything around him. Though he has several favorites: Daddy, Caylin, Abbie, and Grandpa Brown. No matter what he is doing, if one of these individuals enters the room, he will stop what he is doing, turn his gaze towards them, and watch their every move. This can make things like feeding him quite a challenge when daddy and Caylin are playing together nearby.

Child Dedication

Yesterday, Tim and I dedicated Caylin and Gavin; vowing to raise them according to God's plan to the best of our abilities. It was a fun service. As you can tell from the video below, Caylin had a great time during the worship time prior to the dedication.
