Gavin's Doctor Appt.

Gavin went to his doctor appt. today. He is now 12lbs 13oz and 24.5 inches long. He had 3 shots today and has been grumpy ever since. His doctor said she was impressed with his motor skills and he seems to be growing well. He is such a sweetie even when he is cranky. lol

Knock Knock!

When I saw him with his teether in his mouth I immediately thought of the door knockers from the movie Labyrinth. I had to take pics! Here they are! I know the date is off on the pic....I hate setting the date every time I take the batteries out. It was taken 4-10-10.

6 Months Old!

Gavin is 6 months now! He is trying to roll from his back to his belly but hasn't quite mastered it yet. He does 360s on his belly and wants to sit up and see everything instead of laying in my arms. He will transfer a toy from one hand to the other and shake his rattle. He turns to you when you call his name. He has been eating rice cereal mixed with apple juice and water. Today we bought him his first jar baby food. I can't wait to see which ones he likes and don't like and all the funny faces that come with it. The pollen is falling all over the yard and every time we take him outside he sneezes 3 times exactly. His sneezes are so cute especially when you mess one up he lets out this little sigh and smiles. He experienced his first car wash today. He would quiet down and look out the windows when the water, soap, and wind hit the car and made loud noises. He is on a schedule at night which includes eating his cereal, taking a bath, drinking his bottle and going to sleep. I try to start all this around 6:30-7:00pm. He has been waking up around 4-5am....I miss him sleeping later but I think he might be teething now. He wants to put everything in his mouth and omg the slobber! He also enjoys touching faces or trying to stick his hand in my mouth when I'm rocking him to sleep. He is growing up too fast! I just try to take it all in now and savor it.

More Easter Pics

Here are some more Easter pics!

The dogs were very interested in his Easter toys. (Gidget & Paris...one of Mendy's new puppies)

Easter morning......Baskets, grass, candy, and toys everywhere! Gavin's basket was full of some yummy candy Ben and I had to enjoy for him, a Yo Gabba Gabba Dvd...he loves that show, an Easter book, a little hopping chick, a stuffed wooly sheep, and some panda plates.

Emmy, Bay, and their new puppy Sprocket....Paris their other puppy was probably running around terrorizing my three snobby brats. They started to get along towards the end of the weekend.

Katie showing Gavin the elephant she bought him. He loved it!

All the cousins in a row.....Katie was hungry for some Gidget!

Big Smiles!

My Monkey Butt! I love that outfit!

Daddy and Gavin all tuckered out.

This was Ben holding and playing with Gavin after almost a month of not seeing him due to me recovering at my mom's house. Gavin was soooo happy to see his daddy!

My First Easter 2010

Here are a few pics of Gavin's first Easter and egg hunt....there will be more to come...there were about 4 cameras trying to capture it all. These are some of the pics my cousin Tony took. They were really good and are on my mother computer so pulling a late night trying to get them uploaded to the blog before we leave in a few hours to go back to Pensacola. We had a blast this Easter! Gavin enjoyed everyone and we appreciate all the help from the family and will miss it! haha More pics to come!

Ben being his usual handsome self.

What do you mean a giant Easter bunny came hopping through the house leaving Easter Baskets?

Uncle Gene holding Gavin for the first time. He got Gavin laughing sooooo much we just had to get it on video. I have never heard him laugh so hard and so long before.

He makes the funniest faces!

Tony's wife Sam feeding Gavin. She got him to burp FOUR times!

Momma and Papa's Grandbabies and Granddoggies....9 total! That was the first time I have seen Gavin touching and watching the dogs.

I dread putting pics of me up but what the hay.....Gavin has to have some family pics of all of us.

Momma and Papa looking all cute.

Everyone received 2 prize eggs this year!

Our little puddin' face!

Sam enjoyed holding Gavin. He was being soooo good sitting in her lap. Papa has spoiled him by walking him all around he house and yard when he gets fussy. Thanks Papa! haha

Too cool for school! You can really see Ben's crease on the bridge of Gavin's nose in this pic.

Look we found an egg!

Cousin line up before they go crazy finding eggs.

Pansies are Mommy's favorites too!

A little frog on a log!

I'm trying to walk before I crawl!

I'm so cute!

I love this pic of Papa and Gavin.

Here is the bunny cake mom made for Easter. I'll let you figure out were they put the dark colored jelly beans.

Tuckered out!

Uncle Gene and Bay making me laugh.

News Flash!

Gavin turned over all by himself on April 2, 2010 from his belly to his back.....5 months old. YAY Gavin! He did this maybe 30 minutes after his daddy arrived to my mom's house. I was so happy Ben didn't miss him turning over for the first time. Of course that is the only thing in his life so far that I haven't captured with the camera.

Yummy for My Tummy!

Gavin ate his first bite of rice cereal a few days ago. The first time he had it we mixed it with his formula and he didn't want much to do with it. Then we mixed it with apple juice and he loved it! He gets soooo excited he kicks his little legs and smiles. His Aunt Marmon came over for a visit and held him for the first time. When she first saw him a few weeks back she had a cold and didn't want to get him sick. Nickie, Freddy, Katie, Jake and Bailey came over a couple of days ago after their camping trip to drop Bailey off to stay until Easter. Gavin's cousins were happy to see and play with him again. Since Bay has been here she has been an awesome helper. She helps feed, bathe, and dress him. She even changed a diaper! Here are some pics of the past few days.

Bailey changing a diaper!

Gavin has grown so much in the past few days....it literally was over night! He doesn't fit into any of his newborn clothes....one night his legs fit in his newborn footed onsies and then a few days later that same outfit buckled his little legs. We just got him some new 3-6 month clothing which are a little big but at least his little legs are able to straighten out. Wonder how long those are going to last. He is about to be too long for his bassinet! Most of the time he scoots himself up into the top left hand corner while he sleeps.....my little wiggle worm! He is also sleeping sprawled out with his arms above his head just like Katie slept when she was a baby. Its too cute!

Here is Bailey feeding her cousin....its way too early in the morning!

This is what Gavin looks like before he eats....the pics are in backwards order as always.

Katie rocked Gavin to sleep and was noticing his tiny hands.

I'm such a cutie pie!

Nickie making faces at Gavin....He was laughing and smiling. We got a coo coo bird that Gavin just loved and named it coo coo bird Aunt Icky! We have to go back and get the moose for Moosey Aunt Emmy. lol

Gavin loves spending time with his cousins!

This was Aunt Marmon's first time holding Gavin.

Gavin is going to be a frog collector like his mommy was! I think he has 3 stuffed frogs now. I hope his collecting habits stay stuffed frogs and he doesn't bring me any live ones when he gets old enough to play outside.

Mmmmmmm Rice Cereal! He is eyeballing everyone elses food now. Won't be long before he can have some really good stuff!
