Here are some of the pictures that we have taken since Gavin has been a month old:) Mom and Dad have been here helping out, and it has been so nice:) I am so thankful that my Mom has been here the past 6 weeks...I am not sure what I would have done without her! Now that dad (I mean Grandpa!) has been here, he has been hanging out with Gavin a lot, and G loves it!
Today Gavin had his one month check-up and everything went really well! Here are his numbers:
Weight-10 pounds 13.5 ounces---75th percentile!
Height-22.3/4 inches---90th percentile
Head Circ-38.3/4cm---50th percentile
Gavin has developed more head control lately and he is able to lift his head while on his belly for tummy time. When we are holding him up by our shoulder, he will move his head back and forth, and would jump out of our arms if we let him, he is SO strong!
Gavin loves to hold onto your finger anytime, esp while he is eating:)
G only really has one cry so far...its still his hunger cry. When he is tired he lets out little cries here and there, and is able to be consoled without needing to cry too much. As for pain, he usually just squirms and moans until he either burps or farts, and then he is a happy little man!
Gavin loves to watch your face and will follow it where ever it goes...he also has started to open and close his mouth while watching me do the same.
G still has a little baby acne, but it has cleared up a lot in the past week...he also now has "cradle crap" (as Gma says:) on his poor head, so we have been brushing his hair a lot!
Gavin still eats every 2-3 hours, and still loves to eat...He has been getting only breast milk for the past week, we have not needed to give him any extra milk at night because I am finally making enough!
Gavin continues to LOVE his nightly bath and it really tires him out! He is one stinky boy after a day, so it is nice to have a clean baby at night...and he loves it!
Gavin is starting to really like to "play" and is watching moving toys and objects...he loves his red, black and white play mat, and just stares at it! He also loves to be sung to/talked to at any time...and likes his lullaby CD's in the car:)
Overall Gavin continues to be a great little (or big!) baby and is so relaxed most of the time...he is pretty easy to read, and I am starting to see his different moods and needs. The only issue that I am having is the fact that mom and dad (gma and gpa) leave on Saturday...I will miss them so much:(
Ummmm, in one week he developed another roll in his forearms. I love his stinking rolls!
