Hey everyone! I have to do a quick post on little Gavin updates while he's hanging out in his swing. We've finally got him to where he likes it, so it's been extremely helpful when we have things to do!
He is changing and growing more and more every day! Gavin is weighing more than 8 lbs now. He LOVES his bottle and sometimes we have to feed him more than he usually takes or else he gets mad! Derek and I were a little nervous our baby was gonna be HUGE b/c of it but I hear it's ok to feed them until they are full at first. We go to the pedi on Wednesday, so we will ask him about it.
We also received his social security card in the mail today, & are making him official after his doctor's visit!
This last weekend was an interesting one...Friday night, Derek went out of town for his friend's wedding rehearsal. As soon as he got back, we had a terrible storm which knocked our electricity out for the night. We knew we could handle it with candles everywhere(although it's way hard to change a diaper and make a bottle in the dark). So when Saturday morning came around and we didn't have any electricity yet, I just knew it would come on soon & Derek left for out of town again to do wedding festivities all day since he was a groomsman. The long day went on...no electricity. We ended up being without electricity for 36 hours!!! Thank God my friend Jenn brought me dinner b/c I couldn't cook anything. But I managed. And Gavin gave me a run for my money. He's made up for it though and let us sleep a little more since. He still has his days and nights mixed up but we've really been working on "morning time" routines where I open all the blinds and sing to him. And "bedtime" routines where it's dark and quiet. It seems to be working so far.
Let's see what else... he loves music. I think it's calming to him. He likes it outdoors as well, but only if the sun isn't in his eyes. We had our first outing yesterday & stopped by the lake, then went to my parents house. He did so great. Everything is going so well, and it is true what everyone says about it getting easier. We are so blessed! This post has taken me all day to write, so I'm so sorry I haven't had a chance to read anyone's blog. Maybe one day when I have downtime and am not taking a nap, I can catch up!
He would not let his binkie go for this photo op!
G's first outing at the lake. (the hubby looks Asian b/c it was really bright. lol)
