5 months old and counting...

Gavin is still growing like a weed.
We don't have any official measurements but on our home scale he weights about 17lbs now. Still cute as a button with his butterfly eyelashes, and his big brown eyes.

He looks just like his daddy.
He even seems to have the same temperament as his daddy, needing to be constantly on the move and kept busy. He loves going to work with his daddy several times a week. He has constant stimulation and is always on the move which he loves. Trying to keep him entertained when he is at home with me has definitely been a challenge because nothing keeps him entertained for longer then 5-10 minutes. So we run errands or have play dates with his good friends Caitlyn and Ashton. Gavin loves to play with and watch other kids. He especially loves Caitlyn. Every time he sees her he lights up. It is so cute!

We tried to introduce solids over this last month but Gavin hasn't really warmed up to the idea yet. For the most part he is still a boob man:) So far we have found he does not like rice cereal but will eat oatmeal. He really hasn't eatin much of any one thing, but we keep trying.

One of Gavin's favorite activities is bath time. He could spend all night in there if I let him. He has learned to splash around in his bath. He literally splashes all the water out of his bath. I have learned to lay out a lot of towels.

Not much else has changed this month.
He still hates belly time and still doesn't roll over. He will get up onto his side then roll back. It's like he knows he will end up on his belly. We really try to keep him off his back though as much as possibly so there hasn't been a lot of practice for rolling over. Most often we have him sitting up because we are still waiting for his head to round out. I' actually starting to get pretty worried. Keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks for reading!
Stay tuned for more adventures with Gavin as he grows and learns.
