2 Months

Here are some things that have been happening with our little guy this month...

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have a thumb sucker! We're actually pretty excited about it, because he doesn't have the ability to hold a pacifier in his mouth.

He is the first baby boy to be born in our Care Group, and the guys love him!

For "G Week" in my class, Gavin was the special Show & Tell! The kids were so excited to finally meet him! My favorite quote: "Mrs. Hughes, you're much better without a belly!"
I miss them so much!
Austin didn't get in the picture above, so I wanted to post my favorite picture of him. He cracks me up!! Yes, those are women's shoes from Home Living. Hilarious!
One of my students, Miles, brought us dinner! Miles, Gavin really did like you, he was just tired from a long day of bike riding.
Thanks so much for cooking for us, Jessica! It was scrumptious!

He loves his Gram! And LOVES to be outside. If he is crying, we can bring him outside and he immediately stops! I'm so excited he's going to be a nature boy.
I just can't get enough of these smiles!!
He has been sticking his bottom lip out in a pout recently. We tried to get it on camera but couldn't. But this picture cracks me up.
"Umm, can somebody get this puke off of me?"
Dakota to the rescue!
(We don't let her lick him like this, but it was too funny not to catch on camera this time.)

He is such a little chunker!
2 Month Stats:
Head: 42. 8 inches -- ABOVE 97%!
Weight: 13 lbs. 8 oz. -- 90%
Height: 22 3/4 in -- 50%

We have a big baby on our hands! And we love him to pieces!

I was just thinking about how Dakota was being neglected on your blog - he's a big dog! We will make it up to Tennessee sometime this summer to see little Gavin. :)

Gavin is changing so quickly! He is absolutely precious!!! I can't wait to see you all again. Tell Gavin his Great Aunt checks his blog often and simply loves the updates. I love you all!

Such ADORABLE pictures!! I love the one of Dakota cleaning his face and him smiling outside. He is definitely YOUR son! We need to take him to Audibon (spell?) Acres when he gets old enough!

Meg said...

So cute! I just had to laugh at his stats because at 4 months Laurel was still only 12 lbs. 11 oz.!! I love how huge he is, esp. because you are so tiny. Laurel says hello as well and she wants me to tell Gavin that she can't wait to be in play group with him :-)

Growin' boy! Gotta love that! I love the smile picture. I also think it's sweek that you took him to see your kids at school... I know they LOVED that!

Lauren said...

He is so adorable! Your little kids in your class are hilarious. I know they had to be so excited to see you!

He and Dawson were almost the exact same size at that age!
