My Baby is Already 6 Months Old!

Gavin passed the 6 month mark last Thursday...I can't even believe it! He is growing and changing every day! He weighed in at 23 pounds, 7 ounces (95th percentile) and was 27 inches long (50th percentile). So, he's still a BIG boy...the doctor and nurses couldn't get over the size of his thighs...they're pretty awesome! But, he is very healthy and right on track with all the normal milestones. He is still working on sitting up by himself. He is reaching for and grabbing anything and everything within is reach. He's getting a pretty strong grip and has already dumped a bowl of spaghetti on himself and me while he was sitting on my lap during dinner one night. Luckily it wasn't hot enough to hurt him...he just started sucking it off his arm! : ) He wasn't gonna let a good meal go to waste! He does love his food...he has gotten so much better at eating his baby food, too. He is babbling all the time...I love to hear his little voice. He's starting to be a little flirt when we're around strangers...flashing his blue eyes and his smile and then tucking his head like he's shy...it's pretty precious! He is sleeping like a champ...about 12 hours every night...it is awesome! He survived his first cold...he got it after the first week of daycare...then was home for a week trying to recover...it was pretty nasty! But, he is all better now and back at school. He still adores his big brother and is mesmerized by everything he does! I can tell he can't wait until he can play with Aidan and his cousins. He is truly a joy to be around and brings us many, many smiles and such a full heart...I am so thankful for my boys...all three of them!
