Ah, the pleasures of a new talker! Gavin does not say the bane of all mothers, NO! Instead he will look at you really intently and emphatically state STOP! He is very good at expressing the "sto" but hasn't learned how to put on the final "p" it is so cute that I have to giggle each time he says it. I'm sure as he continues I will stop thinking how adorable it is!

Gavin has turned into a monkey boy! He has figured out how to climb onto the coffee table. Unfortunately while he is up there he likes to clear it of all its contents, which include some heavy candles. He has also learned how to climb onto the dining room chairs. He just gets up there and giggles.

Donovan and Gavin love playing with each other. Last night the boys began to wrestle. Gavin would climb up onto Donovan and pull him down. They would just giggle and laugh. I wish that I had a camera handy. It was a memory I would like to have kept. Tonight after the boys had their bath Daddy put Gavin on Donovan's bed. Oh, he was so excited. He sat on his bum and bounced. Donovan climbed up and the two of them raced and played. I'm so glad to see them play together. It has been wonderful.

We have had Donovan since Friday morning. It has been nice to have him. He has started to eat on his own and ask for fluids, so he is on the mend! He does get winded very easily and is rather grouchy. He hates it when Gavin touches him.

Gavin loves having his brother here to visit. He just wants to hug on him, pinch him, play with him. He doesn't get that his brother needs a little space. He has a fever today, and is most likely cutting teeth.

I'm pretty sure that we are going to lose this baby. It is only a matter of time. I'm struggling with it. I asked Scott for another blessing, but he hasn't given me one. I'm a bit frustrated, but since I haven't reminded him it isn't his fault I guess. I just hope that things progress naturally so that I don't have to have surgery.
