My Favorite Little Boy

Gavin is growing more and more every day and I'm doing my best to take it all in...

~He now eats 4 ounces every 4 hours

~He is a messy eater... on second thought he may only eat 3 ounces!

~He is starting to coo more now, instead of just grunt and make snorting noises

~He sleeps very well at night, usually giving us at least one 5 to 5 1/2 hour stretch once and at least 4 to 4 1/2 hours right after that... I'll take it! Now if we can just figure out the best time to start that first stretch and how to time it out to start it the same time each night

~He is smiling now- not all the time, but it's definitely intentional!

~He doesn't need to be rocked to sleep, so I can just lay him down at night and he puts himself out... so nice! Of course when there's a lot going on (like Rachel playing in the same room) then he doesn't sleep quite as well

~He tracks us or toys

~Music really gets his attention and he turns to see where it is coming from

~He has a doctors appointment on Thursday, so I don't know exactly how much he weighs, but I know that he's growing well and getting bigger!

~He has a fussy time in the early evening- right around dinner- ugg- but other than that, he doesn't seem to have any tummy issues, thank goodness!
