Gavin TV

This is our favorite reality show, by far. It may be overkill, but there were so many fun videos to share of recent episodes in "The Life and Times of Gavin Amadeus," I just couldn't resist posting these. (the most current is at the end)

Episode One: The Two Step
Gavin used this technique for quite a while-- Right, Left, Pivot and Sit. He was able to get around as much as he needed to in order to get to different nearby toys (and was obviously very proud of himself).

Episode Two: "This is How I Will Climb the White Pole"

"And for my next trick..." Gavin is quite the conversationalist. It's so fun to watch and imagine what is going on in his head, especially as his voice raises and lowers and the excitement grows. You can imagine your own story if you wish.

Here is the photo to prove he did it-- he pulled himself up. (Loading the video would take too long.)

Episode Three: Connecting the Dots

As of Saturday, Gavin has figured out how to wave. I can't even explain to you what joy and satisfaction there is in my heart to watch the progression-- from study, to interest, to minor movements, to the wave. I can watch the wheels spin as he thinks "I'm supposed to raise my hand when he raises his hand. I can do it. Here... I... go..." It is pure joy to witness the accomplishment and the grin of satisfaction as he knows he got it right.

Episode Four: Arms and Legs Together

We weren't sure if Gavin was motivated to crawl. Here is the evidence that he is. He's finally got his arms and legs working together and now he's much more interested in refining his skills. He's found a new burst of energy-- seems like he's much more wiggly and hyper than he ever was before.
