Happy 4 Month Birthday!

Gavin is 4 months old today! He is at a great age right now, he's so interactive and alert. He enjoys playing on his mat with all his toys around him. He laughs and giggles and talks all the time. He doesn't love the car so much so it's always a hit or miss on how he will do when we go out. He is sleeping pretty well at night...but not so much during the day. I think because he just wants to play and have fun!

He is amazing...

Gavin's friends: Alyx and Ryder

I started work in the beginning of April and we have our friend Alyx watching Gavin during the day. She watches him and another little baby boy, Ryder. Ryder is 3 weeks younger than Gavin but looks like he is 3 months older! They are quite the duo! Alyx is amazing with Gavin and we feel so lucky to have found someone so caring, kind and patient to take care of him while Sean and I are working. It's been a really great transition for all of us.

Laughing Baby

Our little guy has started to laugh and it is the cutest thing ever!!! (although I think I say that about every new thing he does.) Here he is, cracking up to Sean's silliness!

Our 1st Sunny Spring Day!

This weekend we were able to enjoy a very typical Spring day in Oregon. It was sunny and 78 degrees! It was so nice! It was the first time we took Gavin out in the sun and actually worried about how warm it was and if he needed sunscreen! No sunscreen but a new bucket hat worked really well. Not to mention he looked so stinkin' cute!

Eat the Monkey!!!

Gavin loves to sit in his Rainforest bouncer and watch the waterfall and listen to the music play. A couple weeks ago, he realized that he could reach the money that hangs below. He reaches for it, grabs the monkey with both hands and tries to bring it to his mouth, except the monkey is attached and he can't quite get it to his mouth so he leans forward. He's got about an inch to go. After about 5-10 minutes of working really hard to eat the monkey, the
gets really mad!

Gavin's rolling

March 31, 2007---Gavin rolled over for the first time! He had been trying really hard for weeks rolling from his back to his side and not quite making it over to his belly. After many failed attempts, he made his first roll, then his second, third and now he just does it...of course only when he wants to...never when we coax him! I was able to get one of his rolls on video...he does these little grunts and sticks his little butt in the air...it's adorable!
