I think Gavin is here to teach many lessons to many people, and what he knows and what he's capable of - that's all still to come! He's going to continue to surprise and amaze people :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-35252251970840153702010-08-20T17:41:05.847-04:002010-08-20T17:41:05.847-04:00I know what you mean.

Typically I do my best to get "good" pictures of my daughter (with her best head control or her eyes uncrossed) even though they may not depict the extent of her disabilities. Everyone wants their child to look "good". Thank you for being so honest!Reagan Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276933188608521229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-66396474291347168152010-08-20T12:58:23.627-04:002010-08-20T12:58:23.627-04:00I think it's great that Gavin likes the jumper...I think it's great that Gavin likes the jumper! It's definitely a good sign that he wants to be in it and is proud of himself in it. :) Who knows ... the doctors don't know. I agree with you - my son asks me occasionally thinks about Emily's future, and it sucks. Will she walk? I don't know. Does it make me sad? Yes, it does. Will she ever eat by mouth? I doubt it. Will she talk? I don't know. That part sucks. But the smiles, the cuddles, the love that just radiates from their little bodies ... and all those other things don't matter quite as much. :)ANewKindOfPerfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978293330074662766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-42304721127117729882010-08-20T11:30:52.329-04:002010-08-20T11:30:52.329-04:00You and Gavin continue to teach us a lot of good l...You and Gavin continue to teach us a lot of good lessons about dependence, trust, hope, and love. What would we do if we didn't believe that God loves us and that the difficult things he sends to us are somehow (in ways we can't understand)good?Annette Gysenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458438008034828484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-38015843446603329852010-08-19T23:06:58.630-04:002010-08-19T23:06:58.630-04:00Love you guys!

Honestly - Gavin is EXACTLY where Christopher was (maybe even a little more advanced) at the same age!!!! :) <br /><br />The docs don't know everything and I am so glad to hear that you are not limiting your expectations of Gavin. <br /><br />The fact that he hangs out in his stander (something CHristopher still cannot do) and his Johnny Jump-up tells me we haven't seen nearly what his potential is. Also, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about when you say you think he knows more than he lets on. (wink). Sometimes, I think it is a conspiracy because the little buggar (Christopher) is trying to get out of working. LOL!<br /><br />Hugs to you guys - Will conitnue to keep you all in our prayers. Keep it up Gavin!!!!<br /><br />Steph and ChristopherStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08323989778846355329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-24104544478709151062010-08-19T21:57:32.535-04:002010-08-19T21:57:32.535-04:00I love the poem.

I'm glad that you explained this. I do keep Gavin in my prayers, and I think it's helpful to know more of what I need to pray for. <br /><br />And I thought Gavin's neck control was looking better than you had described before. I get the picture thing. But, at the same time, Gavin is super cute- I tell ya- If I ever meet you in person- your gonna have to watch out for me!Cindy Lichtenbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-76250977530379337062010-08-19T21:04:05.563-04:002010-08-19T21:04:05.563-04:00I hate when Mondo say's he wants to take Jax w...I hate when Mondo say's he wants to take Jax when we die, just because I know that Jax will never outlive us. I know they say they will never do this and that. But look how many times they are wrong! Jax is smiling more everyday. And he's definitely getting more interactive. I'll take it!!Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321275110857561824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-31699498521328307962010-08-19T20:09:38.597-04:002010-08-19T20:09:38.597-04:00I'm so glad to be back!
