Gavin,
You have been on this Earth for 7 amazing months. Each one is better than the last. You are getting so big and interacting so much more than you ever have. Here are some milestones from this month:
-You ate mashed potatoes, banana, refried beans, yogurt, sweet potatoes, squash, & scrambled eggs. You are constantly eyeballing our food, wanting to eat it all!
-We typically give you a small container of fruit/vege combination at lunch and mix a container with oatmeal for dinner.
-You continue to have 24+ oz of milk per day. We've ended our breastfeeding journey this month. My poor supply continued to dwindle despite my best efforts and the added stress made the situation worse. I know you will be a healthy, happy boy regardless.
- You are off of your reflux medication and doing great!
-You sleep through the night in your crib. We put you down around 7 pm and you wake around 5:30 am.
-You went on your first ride in the swing this month and loved it. Seriously. All smiles!
-We took you to the pumpkin patch, soccer games, walks in the park, hikes in the woods, and everywhere else life has taken us. You take each new place in stride, just hanging out and taking it all in. We put you in the Beco carrier quite alot now, although you are happy as can be in the stroller too. The carrier is just easier at times.
-The girls read to you often. You sit contently, looking at the pages and listening to each word.
-We've parted ways with the swing. You are just too big!
-You still love to bounce in the jumper thing and sit in the bumbo while I work in the kitchen.
- You army crawl everywhere! You seem to have no desire to figure out how to coordinate the arm and leg movements for the real crawl. You can do them both, but not together. It is quite the sight, watching you use your arms to pull your body around.
-You have 2 teeth (lower gumline), light brown/blondish hair and blue eyes.
-You wear some 6 mo. clothing, but are quickly moving into 9 mo.
-You are mostly called by name, but I call you "G" frequently. No other nicknames have really been offered yet.
-I am getting too weak to carry you and the infant car seat, so I broke down and ordered a convertible car seat for you. I bet you are going to love having the luxury of sitting up--spying on your sisters will be so much easier!
All in all, you are a pure delight. Claire said to me last night, "Gavin is the cutest baby in this world. I am so glad you had him. I love him so much." Yep. That pretty much sums up how we all feel about you, G. You are our little blessing.
