A month tomorrow

Wow! I can't believe it'll be a month tomorrow since Gavin was born. It doesn't seem like its been that many nights with little sleep. I guess that is a good sign. He really is a good baby and only cries when he's hungry or when he gets his diaper changed - both of which happen often. He's growing so fast. He was 9 pounds already at his 2 week check-up. I can only imagine he's about 11 pounds by now. Luckily he still fits in the baptism outfit Jacob wore as he'll get baptised this Sunday.

Big brother Jacob loves to hug his brother, have Gavin grab his finger and sing to him. He is very gentle and sweet. Jacob entertains himself while I tend to Gavin during the day by playing with his hotwheel cars, lining them up and re-lining them. He also likes building towers with legos and reading books. His latest thing is to put his sunglasses on and pretend he's a doctor (I don't know why the sunglasses transform him). He asks "Does your head/tummy/leg hurt?". When you say no to all those, then he ask "Then what's the matter?" Its bedside manner taught to him by Daisy Duck, its pretty cute.

Fred had almost 2 weeks off after Gavin was born, so it was a great adjustment period for the family - especially Jacob. They did some fun stuff together, like sledding, playing outside, and going to the community center. Fred started class again last week for his masters. He goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so those days can get long. Luckily my mom and dad like to come visit on Tuesdays and on Thursdays Auntie Drea takes Jacob to gymnastics.

Gavin is taking a bottle, so I have been able to get out kid free. I went out to eat with friends, did some shopping and attended a couple church council meetings.
