GMama's Visit

We have been having a good old time with mom up here helping us out....other than me being in pain pain pain from my gallbladder surgery and not being able to pick up and hold my Gavipants. He has really enjoyed all the spoiling mom has been giving him. This morning Gavin showed his appreciation by giving mom a tinkle sprinkle! hahahhahahhaa He hasn't done that in a long time so was funny! He has been having tummy aches while she has been up here so she is getting to know how it feels to be a mommy with a little baby again..... pulling all nighters. He will have a good poo and be fine for a couple of days and then its back to being constipated and cranky. We have medicine the doctor gave us so hoping that will work....still having to wiggle around the dosages to get it just right. We are getting spoiled to having mom here too....she has been cooking good dinners, cleaning, and watching the baby at night and when Ben has to work. I still can't hold him yet which is driving me nuts but I enjoy watching mom spend time with him. Ben's birthday was yesterday and we surprised him with a big seafood feast.....crab legs, crab cakes, huge shrimp cocktail, tilapia, fried squash, and a super yummy cherry chocolate cake! Its mom's new recipe and omg you can't just have one piece of this cake and its super easy to make! So I think Ben had a great first birthday with his son. Aunt Judy came to visit the other day but was so out of it wasn't able to take pics like I usually do. Here are a few that I have taken so far.....

Ben's yummy chocolate cherry cake!

The Rushing Scowl! Looks like C-Papa doing this face!

G-Mama just arrived! Gavin just woke up.

Gavin loves when you try to get his tongue....its too funny!

Break Time!

Gavin and I were working on his strengthening and neck control and then I laid him down on his tummy for some tummy time and he totally passed out. I must have worked him hard. He usually screams bloody murder during tummy time.

Sleepy Time

Yeah that lasted a whole 10 minutes. lol But its a start to falling asleep on his own....yay!

Working Hard for Mommy!

Gavins Doctor Visit

Gavin went to see his doctor and he now weighs 10lbs 11oz and is 22 inches long. He recieved 3 shots and an oral vaccine. He definately doesn't like shots. The doctor says he is doing great for a preemie.....developmentally he is around 4 months +. Because of when he should have been born he should be around 2 months developmentally so he is doing excellent. She does want him to be examined by some therapists because he was a preemie and he has a tendency to keep his head to the right. She said that its common and they tend to grow out of it and doesn't think he will be picked up by therapy. I have been working with his neck and back strengthening everyday and I can see it paying off. Enjoy the pics! The blue outfit is what he wore to his doctor appt.

Gavin's Stay at Aunt Judy's House

Here are some pics of Gavin's stay at Aunt Judy's house. He had a great time with his cousins (Jenna, Paige, and Lauren), aunt and uncle. The last few pics are of Gavin at home. We bought him those overalls for valentines day. He is too cute in them!
