Gavin: One Month Old

Happy one month birthday Gavin!!
I can't believe it's been 1 whole month already!
You are growing and getting stronger everyday!
It's been so much fun watching you grow : )

One month milestones....

You are starting to coo!
It's music to mommy's ears : )

You are starting to smile: )
A crooked little smile!

Sometimes you sleep for 5 hours a night!

You are able to hold your head up!
No more bobble head for you : )

You are tracking things now with your eyes!

You also move your head to get a better view!

You have found your thumb and boy

does that make you happy : )

Happy One Month Birthday Sweet Baby Gavin!

(I like how he is showing how old he is... check out his finger in the last pic!)

4 weeks old

Dear Gavin,

You are 4 weeks old now!

I feel like you have been part of our family forever!

But...it's only been 4 short weeks!

4 weeks really isn't a lot of time.

It's just a tiny little amount of time...

yet it feels like you have been here forever.

Making us smile!

Making our family complete!

At 4 weeks old you have some favorite pastimes.

You like to pass the day away in so many different ways.

sleeping, eating, swinging, and most of all tummy time.

But I must say that your most favorite way to pass the day

is to be in your mommy's arms.

You like to be held!!

A lot!!!

You are a super cuddly sweet little guy!

At 4 weeks you are a pretty good sleeper!

You wake up just 3 little times and go back to sleep!

You are a 11, 2, and 6 kinda guy!

Thanks! Mommy and Daddy love it!

You have only been here 4 short weeks!

Yet it feels like you have been here forever!

I can't wait to see what the next 4 weeks brings!

3 weeks old

Oh my goodness how did you get to be three weeks old already? Where did the time go? I keep asking myself that when it comes to you and your brother!! Where did the time go? I want to remember you just as you are...perfectly tiny and sweet. Just as you are at 3 weeks old!

I want to remember your... wrinkly skin, your growing eye brows, and your sweet baby face

I want to remember the way you like to have your hand at your face

I want to remember your pudgy little baby arms

I want to remember the way you look at us with those big eyes!

I want to remember how soft and sweet your newborn skin is!

I want to remember how cute you are in your elf hat!

I want to remember your little newborn belly!

I want to remember your long toes and skinny feet! I want to remember your chins! All of them!!!

I want to remember how wonderfully fantastic everyday with you has been! I want to remember it all because you will never be this small again! You are getting bigger everyday! But I will always remember you just as you are at 3 weeks old!

2 weeks old

Dear Gavin, You are 2 weeks old today!! I can't believe how fast time has gone by!!! Even though you are only 2 weeks old we already know so much about you!!! We know you don't like to have your diaper changed..... you scream and scream! As soon as it's done you are back to your sweet Baby Gavin self. At 14 days old you are also back to your birth weight... all 8.5 lbs. You dropped down to 7lbs 11ounces but now your back!!! You're 14 days old!!! But to me you are 14 days new! In 2 short weeks we know... that you like to be held!! Boy oh boy do you like to be held! You don't like to be put down... especially from the hours of 6pm-10pm. That's ok!! I don't mind!! I know how fast time goes by!! In 2 short weeks we know that your big brother thinks you are pretty special. He looks for you every morning! He tells me when you are sad. He kisses your head goodnight! He sings "Good Morning to you! Good Morning to you! Good Morning baby Gavin...Good Morning to you!" In 2 short weeks we know that you have your daddy's feet and toes!! Long and skinny! Not short and fat like Mommy's and brother's! In two short weeks we know that you are pretty sweet and calm! You like to sleep! You like to cuddle! Most of all you like to eat...and... eat and eat! In 2 short weeks we know that you like to look around and see the world! You are starting to stay awake longer... you are focusing on our faces! We love seeing your eyes! We love watching you learn about your world! In 2 short weeks we learned that while you are a super cute baby... you have the funniest scowl marks when you get mad!! Scowl marks right between your eyes! They get deeper the madder you get!!! It's been so much fun getting to know you during the last 2 weeks!

Worlds cutest baby and...

Worlds Best Husband! After a night of little sleep my thoughtful husband drops Owen off and school and returns with a Mocha Frappuchino from Starbucks! It was just what I needed! I was craving one my entire pregnancy! YUMMMMMY!

May 23

It's May 23, 2010! The day that Gavin was supposed to be born!! But we weren't spending this Sunday in the hospital waiting and waiting. Nope! We were spending time getting to know each other! Gavin put on super cute clothes! Super cute clothes for a super cute 6 day old little boy!

Owen and Gavin posed for some pictures!

Hugs and kisses!

Such a proud big brother! Owen showed Gavin his Elmo socks! Owen LOVES these socks! It's next to impossible to get him to take them off! Owen and his favorite socks!

4 days old!

Are you 4 days old or 4 days new?

Either way you are 4 days cute!

Cooper

Just like Gavin's big brother did 2 years and 8 months ago

it was time to meet Cooper! Only this time there was no jealousy

and no food strikes. Cooper seems ok with our newest addition!! We think he's glad that it's a baby and not a cat.... or another toddler : )
