What's Up With the David's: Gavin James is 2 Months Old!

Gavin James at 8 weeks! Yes, that is baby spit-up on the back of the chair!

My precious little pea Gavin turned 2 months old today! The poor little guy celebrated his day with a visit to the pediatrician for his first round of shots. Gav was a trooper but you could tell he was not happy afterwards. So I spent the afternoon holding and rocking him, which was as much a treat for me as it was for him! He weighed in at 12 pounds 6 ounces which is 50th percentile. His height was 24 1/4 inches, putting him in the 90th percentile. So he continues to grow like a little bean pole. The kid eats so much I thought he would weigh more but it appears all that nourishment is lengthening him out. He's the same length as Jack at this age but about a pound less.

Though not yet sleeping through the night, Gavin is only getting up once, sometimes twice. We're hoping the next few weeks he will give us the gift of a good nights sleep - mama needs it! Christian has been lucky enough to be traveling for work so he has the luxury of nice dinners out and a full night of uninterrupted sleep! Could I be more jealous!! I actually start working again next week and will start traveling in January...hotels here I come!

Gavin is becoming more alert every day. He loves to talk to just about anything....us, lighting fixtures, his ceiling fan and the toys on his play mat. He smiles and coos all the time....no captain serious here! He also loves the TV and likes to chill with daddy and watch the tube! But the most notable thing (at least I think it is) is that Gavin's appearance has changed so much these past few weeks. When he was born he looked just like Jack and like Christian's side of the family. But now he look a more like me. Unfortunately, that means he also got my big ears - poor dude!

I was really bad at taking pictures this these past 2 weeks. But here are a few decent ones that I got of the Gavster.

Cold chillin with dad and big bro...
