10 weeks

Gavin is 10 weeks today and we had his 2 month check up this morning. He is doing great and I can't believe how much he has grown!! He now weights 15 lbs and is 24 5/8 inches long. No wonder we had to switch to size two diapers!! He also got his first round of immunizations this morning which was hard for me to watch but he did great and only cried for a few minutes afterwards. Much better than i expected. I've added some new pictures from the past few weeks below so you all can see how much he has grown. He smiles all the time now and is cooing and has just recently discovered his tongue and loves sucking on his hands.

I can't believe how fast the time has gone and am really sad that next week is my last week home with him. I'm really not looking forward to going back to work. These last few months have been amazing and other than a few hours here and there I really haven't been away from Gavin much so it's going to be really hard being away from him all day during the week! I'm sure it will get easier as we get into a routine but i know these first few weeks are going to be really hard!! Luckily we have Jan coming to babysit so that makes me feel much better knowing that he will be cared for so well while i'm gone.

Gavin's first photo shoot

Lindsay did an amazing job taking Gavin's pictures. They turned out great! It is going to be so hard selecting which ones to get. I've included a few below and you can click on the link to view all of them.

6 weeks

Gavin turned 6 weeks on Tuesday and shocked mommy and daddy by sleeping the entire night. We couldn't believe it when we looked at the clock that morning and realized how late it was. We were hoping the trend would continue but he hasn't gone an entire night since although it is getting much better with him usually only getting up once during the night to eat and get his diaper changed. Yesterday was an exciting day because i finally got to see Gavin roll over! Unfortunetly he was too quick and i wasn't able to grab the camera in time. We were also able to enjoy the nice weather here and did a little shopping at an outdoor outlet mall. I was able to pick up some really cute things for him from the baby gap. On a sad note i can't believe how fast time is going and that my maternity leave is already half way over. We have so much fun at home especially now that he is more awake and playful so i'm thankfull that i still have a few more weeks of playtime left with him. Enjoy the new pictures!

Cute video of Gavin smiling

One month old

Gavin turned one month old on Friday! It's amazing to see how much he has grown and changed since we brought him home from the hospital. When he is awake now he is very alert and very curious always looking around and taking everything in around him. He also smiles all the time now which is so much fun! These past two weeks he has been a busy boy. Last weekend my parents and grandparents (my mom's mom & dad) came down to visit. My grandparents got to meet Gavin for the first time and also see our house which was nice. We had a great weekend hanging out at home and enjoying my dad's amazing homemade pizza. My dad also brought down the cradle that he made Gavin. Gavin slept in it for the first time last night and slept for 5 hours straight giving mommy and daddy some much needed rest.

On Tuesday Ryan was playing with Gavin and he rolled over for the first time from his tummy to his back. I couldn't believe it when Ryan told me but he is a very strong boy. Hopefully next time he does it i'll be around to see it and we can capture it on video. This weekend was our first road trip to Iowa. Gavin did a great job in the car and slept almost the entire way both there and back. We got his pictures taken on Saturday morning. I was so worried that he would be fussy but he did a great job and I can't wait to see the pictures. We stayed in Des Moines on Saturday night and Gavin got to meet some of our friends as well as Ryan's Aunt Jackie, Uncle John and cousins Katie and Maggie. Then my parents had a dinner at their house on Sunday and Gavin finally got to meet Jess and my grandma Ramona and Great Aunt Doris. Overall it was a great weekend and thankfully Ryan had today off so we were able to chill at home and get back into our routine. Enjoy the new pictures. We can't wait to see what the next month will bring!

3 weeks old

Today is Gavin's 3 week birthday! It's been so much fun to watch and see how much he changes every day. We enjoyed the warm weather here on Saturday and took Gavin for his first ride in the stroller. I think he really liked it and we look forward to spring so we can go on more walks. Enjoy the new pictures.
