mama mama mama

"mama mama mama..." is now a common phrase that we hear from Gavin. Though we don't think he is truly saying Mama, but it is still fun to hear that come from his mouth of babble. He seems to be no longer sick, while I still have some "being sick" left in me. Tonight during bath time we took him out of the baby tub and just let him play in the big tub. He did really well, so tomorrow I'll let him take a shower. (Just kidding) Still no signs of that sixth tooth dropping down, and the drooling has subsided so I think it may be a while. He did excellent yesterday in the mall, rode around in the stroller looking at all the funny-looking people. It seem like the people that go shopping at Wal-Mart at 3:00 AM where at the mall on Saturday. (Present readers excluded from that comment if you happen to shop at Wal-Mart at 3:00 AM.) Oh well he will be going on many more shopping trips as we attempt to buy Christmas presents for our family over the next few weeks. Just think he'll be almost 11 months at Christmas and might be walking by April 2007, and starting school by September 2011, driving a car by 2021, graduating high school by 2023. Oh and I can retire by 2042 (unless they push it back by then.)
