Our baby boy turned 6 months on Wednesday! Gavin has changed so drastically this past month. The most noticeable change is how much he looks like Jack - they totally look like brothers now because Gav is getting lots of blonde hair. And he looks so much like his daddy too. Gav is definitely a David...or Fladung as Gigi would say. He's also grown almost 2 inches and gained almost 2 lbs...he's currently 28 1/4 inches and 17 lbs, 11 oz. This keeps him in the bean pole status with 95th percentile for height and 50th for weight, which makes finding clothes pretty difficult. He's long enough for 12 month clothes but doesn't fill them out well enough because he's so skinny.
We need to get some rolls on this kid so we're fattening him up with lots of baby food! He eats 5 jars a day and loves both fruit and veggies. And we just recently starting giving him puffs so he can get used to feeding himself. So far he just gags and spits them out, but I imagine in a few weeks he will be chowing them!
As far as tricks go, he's pretty text book right now...he's rolling all over the place and loves to play on his tummy. I think he'll start scooting any day now. But he doesn't seem to want to sit up....maybe he'll wait til 7 months like Jack did. He enjoys playing with toys and absolutely loves playing with his big bro. Nobody can make Gavin laugh like Jack can. And his coos have turned into full on babbling, screaming and squealing. He'll just sit there with his toys, playing and talking up a storm for 20-30 minutes at a time.
And he's still such a dream baby - he sleeps, eats and plays right on schedule, is sleeping 12 hours at night and for the most part is the happiest baby. But I must admit that he is a bit of a mama's boy and starts crying when I hand him to other people. So we're trying to make sure he's around a lot of different people so he gets used to being without me from time to time. But I absolutely love being home with him and I don't mind if he favors me just a bit. After Jack only wanting his dad for so I long I think I am due for a little mama time with Gav! He might as well be attached to my left hip!
Christian and I are really enjoying this time in our family's life. Things have definitely settled down for the better. We work a lot so we make sure to spend tons of quality time with the boys. And now that they weather is great, we are always outside, at the park or doing something fun with family. We're looking forward to a great summer with our guys. And I am so lucky that I get to be home with both of them to enjoy it all!
Here are a few pictures of little Gav Gav just being cute!
I just think this is a sweet little picture...
Scrunchy face....
Gavin LOVES to be outside. Besides the bath, it's what calms him most when he is upset...
Peek-a-boo!
Here he is kind of sitting up. But as you can see I am hloding his back for support...
Brotherly love...
Always a happy boy...
First time in a swing! He wasn't overly excited as you can see but he didn't cry. He was just cold chillin! I think he looks so much like his daddy here...
Fat and happy after a big meal of baby food. I had to unbutton his pants so he could be comfortable...
