The Batta Family: December 2010

Today is a special day for my little guy. 5 years ago today, at 9:50 am, my little boy came into this world and caught us all off guard. He was 6 weeks early. I was in a panic and was hoping for the best. Even though he had to spend 15 days at Blank Children's Hospital he ended up with a clean bill of health and no long term health problems, prayers had been answered and so we started our new life as a family of 6.

So for his birthday I thought I would tell what the name Gavin Lee Batta means to me.
G is for gracious. Underneath all his toughness, he is a kindhearted and friendly little boy. Has many hugs and high fives for everyone.

A is for adorable. I mean come on, look at those dimples. Makes me smile every time.

V is for victorious. If you are playing a game of football, basketball, or a board game with him, he will find a way to win every time. He is relentless.

I is for intelligent. He may only be 5 but he is a smart little dude. And it is amazing how quick he catches on to everything.

N is for no fear. This kid will do anything. Premature aging is already setting in with me because he stresses me out with the stuff he does.

L is for loving. Love it when I wake him up every morning and he wants a hug and kiss right away. And out of the blue at least 3 times a day he will say, "I love you, Mom."

E is for energetic. Seriously, the energizer bunny here. No wonder he wants to eat all the time, he burns off 5000 calories a day. :)

E is for education. He LOVES school. And his teacher loves him and calls him a sponge because he just soaks up everything they are learning.

B is for bold. Not afraid to do or say anything.

A is for ambitious. Always sets out to do his best but he is a very good sport if things do turn out how he would like them too.

T is for tough. I have to admit, I thought he would have a broken bone or something by now. Only two stitches from a blow with the Wii remote and he didn't even freak out when they numbed him.

T is for tackle. Favorite game to play. He has the ball and you have to try and tackle him. Simple as that but not always easy.

A is for always be my little boy. No matter how old he gets, he will forever be my baby!!
