Happy Halloween!
OK, so I’m a little late… but give me a break- I’m a kinda busy here! Last weekend we went to Texas for Colin’s birthday with Granny. We all went to Six Flags and had a great time. Of course, Gavin slept through most of it… but that’s a pretty successful outing these days!
OK, let’s get to some stats- Gavin weighs around 22 lbs these days (not sure exactly, since we have been to the Dr in a while- knock wood). He has pretty much outgrown his infant carseat. But the big carseat that we had for him won’t work in our car, so we had to order a new one… it should be here this week. As far as moving around, he is defintely getting very wiggly but still no signs of crawling. He is standing on his own holding on to the side of the crib or coffee table, but not trying to walk at all yet. But he REALLY enjoys standing up. He makes us hold his waist so that he can stand up all the time. And he just has this big cheesy grin on his face- like he’s so proud of himself!
He has also moved into the big hugs and kisses phase and I cannot get enough. When I pick him up he will throw his arms around my neck and squeeze so tight and if I’m really lucky, he’ll smoosh his big open mouth into my cheek and give me a big slobbery wet kiss! He is also babbling more now. This week his new sound was Dadadada. Of course, Bryan is SURE this was his first word ;-) But I know he’s made the Mamama sound before… of course that one only comes out when he’s mad at me. Like if I’m changing his diaper and he wants to be playing… he’ll say it. It just comes out more like “MehMeh” in this really whiney, irritated voice! Guess I better get used to it.
Gavin was a monkey for Halloween on Friday. There are a couple of pics of him in his costume down below. Enjoy!
These are our sneak peeks from our family photo shoot with Jody. She did a great job, and I can’t wait to see the rest. Check her out at www.jodylynnphoto.com
Pictures from the Play Park- Gavin loves the swings!
OK, now I don’t know why he looks like such a hoss in this picture- but it’s so funny, I HAD to include it! He looks like he’s going to eat me!
Now, this is more like my sweet boy…
And here’s the big boy standing up in his play pen…
