Gavin James is 3 Months Old!

Gavin....aka....Gavsters, Nugget, Precious Little Pea, Baby Cakes, Mommy's Little Boy....is already 3 months old!  He's the happiest little guy and unlike his big brother, who we called Captain Serious for the first 6 months of his life, Gav loves to smile!  So we spend a  lot of time talking to him and getting him to show that adorable gummy grin.  He loves to connect with you and coo, and he's almost giggling.  He's just so incredibly cute!  He's still a bit fussy because of the reflux, so he spits up A LOT.  But other than that he's alert, happy and content.  And he's extremely active - he loves to lay on his activity mat, talk to all the animals and just kick up a storm. 

Thankfully, he's officially out of the swaddle and into a sleep sack.  He hated that swaddle and broke out every night so he's sleeping much better without it.  He had actually started sleeping through the night at about 10 weeks, from about 8:30 pm to 5:00 am.  We thought that was it and we were over the late night feedings!  But this past week he hit a growth spurt and caught a cold at the same time so it's been a rough week with him getting up a few times a night.  But he's feeling better and on the tale end of the growth spurt so we're really hopeful that he starts sleeping through the night regularly.  Mom and Dad REALLY need that to happen so we can all get some rest and get on a regular schedule!

Jack continues to be an awesome big brother - he likes to play with Gav and sing to him when he cries.  I can't wait for them to really be able to interact with one another.  It was really special having both boys here for Christmas.  We had a a great time with my family and the boys had a blast with their cousins! Next up we are headed to Chicago to celebrate with Christian's family and have everyone there meet Gavin.  It will be Gavin's first flight and our first time traveling with 2 kiddos. I'm sure it will be very interesting!  Can't wait to share stories.

I just love this picture.  It looks like he's doing a little happy dance...

Chillin in the swing...

He's laying on his activity mat talking to his animals, but it looks like they scare him to death...or maybe it was the bright flash in his face...

Happy boy on Christmas morning...
