Gavin has done awesome in school so far!   I am so excited for him as he learns, grows, and excels :)   He loves going to school every morning and gets so excited when I drop him off.  He has awesome teachers who love him.  It was hard for me to have him leave my side, but I know I made the best decision I could ever make for Gavin so he can grow up to be all he can be :)  

Here is Gavin this last Friday, 11/9/13 bowling in the special Olympics with his class. He loved it and had a great time!

Gavin started school today!!!   I never wanted him to leave my side but knew it was in his best interest to go to school and advance to his fullest capabilities.  He had a great first day =)  He is saying a lot of words and wants to walk everywhere now! He got a big boy haircut Saturday for school, which he fought me about - but it turned out great =)  He is 4 and will be 5 years old 10/16 - I am so excited for his future =)  Here are some pictures from his first day of school  =)

Gavin is doing well and is so sweet.  Gavin was assessed to start the special needs pre-school class yesterday. School starts August the 6th.  I always wanted him with me and to never leave my side. I was going to home school him but realized he needs more special care than I am trained to give. In the pre-school class he will have speech therapy and physical therapy. He is such a loving happy little man. I pray all goes well and he likes going to school and the Lord gives me peace in my heart for when he is there away from me. He is forever my angel and baby boy.

My little man is 4.5 years old now and knows what he wants!   lol  =)    He is a sweet angel and I still feel so blessed to have him.  I get stressed often feeling like I can never be a good enough mother but I try my best. He gives great hugs!   He is just now starting to walk about - sturdy and strong - but still resorts to 'scooting" to get about.   He is a picky eater and if he does not like the food, he takes it out of his mouth and throws it out! lol.   He loves his big bird stuffed animal (his chicken) and he loves watching Dora. He likes to get out and go places but is shy towards strangers - he just likes to stare at them - nosey he is - lol - Even though I am stressed trying to be a great mother (perfect) He is a true blessing in my life - he melts my heart - he can be challenging as he keeps doing stuff he knows he isn't supposed too, but that is what a lot of kids do  lol.   Thank you Jesus for Gavin and I will trust you Lord that you know all and are in control.   Gavin is forever my angel  =)

Gavin is now 3 yrs and 4 months old and is still such a sweetie =) He loves when I take him to the park and we take walks. He is very sweet and loving. He can take about 5 steps to and from people but still prefers to scoot on his booty. He is very happy and easy to please. I love my angel so much and I know I am truly blessed to have him in my life =) Thank you Lord <3

Sweet Gavin Christmas 2012 - He is 3 yrs old and so sweet! He is truly my angel and I am so blessed to have him in my life <3 - Thank you Jesus!

I am late posting this but here is Gavin's 3 year old birthday picture from 10/16/11 =) He is doing great and is so incredibly sweet! His health is good and he is a happy little boy. He still scoots around instead of walking but does cruise along the furniture =) He can say Go, momma, and daddy. He loves his big bird (chicken) hehe =) and loves watching Dora. He can hold his juice box drink (applejuice) on his own and hold his spoon to feed himself as well as finger foods =) He loves walks in his wagon, dance time, and playing with his sisters. He loves getting my pots and pans out of my cupboard and playing with them. He loves holding his toothbrush and brushing his teeth. If you ask him for a kiss, he gives sweet kisses and wonderful hugs. I am very blessed and thank Jesus for my sweet son. <3

Gavin is now two and a half and just so sweet :) He has alot of teeth now and is such a sweet mellow little guy. We are looking forward to Easter coming up and all the fun to be had :) We took Gavin and his sisters to the beach last Sunday and he loved it! He had so much fun - it was a great day :) God Speed :)

Fun in February =)

Gavin is now 2 yrs old =) He saw his pediatrician Monday the 14th and had a great check up- instead of the 5% - he is now in the 35% so a great improvement =) He is still small for his age but extremely cute. Everything else checked out great on the physical. He had his last set of shots. His thyroid, iron, and celiac blood levels were checked. Thryoid levels will tell us if his prescription dose needs to be changed. Gavin has hypothyroidism. I also have it as well as my grandma and mother did so besides down syndrome it seems to run in the family. On the 28th of Feb. we will be going to Mobile, AL again to check the lesion in his upper left leg. Last visit 6 months ago it was healing and I pray will all that I am that this upcoming visit shows it to be gone.

He is a happy little boy, very easy going. He is cruising along the furniture and making great progress =) I am letting his hair grow and just cutting his bangs and he looks so cute. He absolutely hates his hair cut and cries so - so momma will just let it grow =) He eats most everything but I discovered the other day he no longer likes corn -lol. He is a true blessing in my life and I am so thankful to God for such a gift. He still is and always will be my angel =)
