5 Months

Here's what's been happening this last month with our handsome boy.

This boy is rolling over like a mad man all day long!

The only problem is that he can't roll back over. So we've had to put a barrier up in his crib to keep him from rolling over at night. If we don't, we have to walk upstairs to roll him back over multiple times a night.

He got his first injury in the blackberry bush thanks to me!
We tried a second time and went for blueberries this time. Much less prickly. No injuries this time! Thanks for asking us to tag along Melanie, London, and little Phoebe!
Hanging out with Aunt Amanda every day! She's living with us for right now until she moves into her apartment next month. We all love spending so much time with her since she's been in Nashville for 2 years. And I love the extra help with the Gavster!! Are you sure you have to move, Amanda? :)

Trying new foods!
Dr. Glover told us to taste test different foods with Gavin. So he's not eating for fill, but eating to learn how and to taste different things. We're starting with the yellow foods.

He's had bananas, applesauce, pears, and squash so far.
I couldn't pick just one picture of the squash he had last night. He was already in need of a bath, so we didn't put a bib on him. Never again will I make that mistake!
He's also tried lettuce! Haha, just kidding. We were eating at Josh and Sarah's and Ryan was holding Gavin and he reached over without looking, picked up a piece of lettuce, and put it straight in his mouth. We were dying laughing.
Here's Ryan weighing Lucy and Gavin to see which one's heavier. Take a wild guess which one it is! Ha! And he's one month younger!
Lucy and Gavin have a love/hate relationship. Here they are duking it out...
...but end up making up in the end.
Libby, Lucy, and Gavin.
Gavin is the youngest by 2 months to Libby (in the brown shorts) and 1 month to Lucy (in the pink).
My favorite quote this month from a store clerk:
"You must be feeding that boy Puppy Chow!"
I just love love love this age. He is focusing so much on things and seems to be aware of everything that's going on around him. He's learned to use his hands to grab on to things like our faces when we're talking to him (or my hair!). It's just amazing how much he's changed just this month. We just love him so much!
