Gavin had a great day. Each day starts a little grouchy, but he recovered nicely. In fact, tonight he was absolutely adorable, running around the house smiling and babbling a lot. Today, we've watched Tigger&Pooh DVD 6x, so he's saying all kinds of things from that video.

Mike and I were able to go to church this morning, while Gavin slept in and stayed with the nurse. After church, we took him on his first post-surgery outing. We went to the park, where he opted not to get on any of the equipment, except for the swing. We walked a lot. He enjoyed the leaves. He wasn't as "wild", running everywhere, and he didn't smile as much, both indicators that he was distracted by his back. However, I was very pleased with the activity. I expect that by the end of this week, he'll be ready to climb.
