We've had a busy few weeks. I feel like I'm still adjusting to singleworkingmotherhood! Or at least, readjusting with each new stage Gavin goes through! He's walking (or toddling) around everywhere. He's quite the climber. I'm amazed at how tall he's getting, he can reach the burners on the stove if he stretches up his arms. He's been a little sick the past week or so. He's getting better now which means better sleep for mom and a happier Gavin during the day. We went to Cannon Beach, OR with friends over Thanksgiving. Gavin is quite the charmer. We had fun on the beach. He was a little sad that mom wouldn't let him play in the wet sand...but it was pretty chilly. I'm excited for Christmas. It'll be interesting to see how much Gavin gets of the whole unwrapping bit. Best Wishes to all....Love from Stacey and Gavin
