Our little guy...





Gavin has been keeping us very busy! He is 3 months and 1 day old today. He's a little guy, only weighing in at 9lbs 9 oz at his last weigh in...which was only on Friday. For those of you who haven't heard, he has been struggling with his weight. Our doctor, Dr. Josh, thinks that he is just going to always be a little guy...until he's a teenager and we will be trying to figure out a diet plan so he can lose weight! We have been seeing other doctors and specialists to help us find ways of putting some weight on him, it's been a frustrating process but it's amazing what you will do for your child. He is as healthy as can be, and as happy as can be you can't ask for much else!

About 3 weeks ago, he started smiling at us...and let me tell you it just melts my heart every time! On Sunday we were coming home from Pietro's and he laughed at me in the car! It was sooo cute! Of course, he did it like twice in the car and hasn't laughed since. Apparently I was really funny but not anymore!

His favorite place to be is his changing table. This is where he started smiling...at his mobile. Then he started smiling at his STAR...those of you who may know of the star...the blinking, singing star that comes with the Baby Einstein play mat. Then he just started smiling at everything and everyone. It's awesome.

He has discovered his hands, which he likes to put in his mouth...both of them at the same time. He hasn't really been grabbing for things but if you put something in his hand, he will look at it with a very serious look...sometimes he'll smile at it. He has also started "talking" and his favorite person to talk to...his daddy. Sean and Gavin will sit and talk forever...sometimes they talk about the DUCKS...sometimes they just babble. For only being 3 months old, he sure has a lot to say!!!

Thanks for doing this. It is so great to hear about life for the Folstons. I am glad he is smiling now. It is amazing how much personality babies show when they are so young. I have a feeling he will be full of personality :)
