Six Months





Life is on fast-forward and Gavin is already six months old. These are the things we know about him:
  • He loves to eat cereal, a new development.
  • He can roll over from front to back and back to front.
  • He likes to pull his blanket up over his head while he is sleeping, a habit that has earned him the nickname "Superman" at daycare, because it kind of looks like he's wearing a cape. (although technically, if the real Superman wore his cape over his head and face, Lex Luthor would prevail...)
  • He is prone to ear infections.
  • His sister can always make him laugh.
  • He likes kicking his feet, especially in the bath.
  • He likes to put his hand on my arm and gently stroke it when I am holding him.
  • He only cries when he is mad, which is not often.
  • He weighs almost 16.5 lbs.
  • He can sleep in his crib all night long, although it's hard for me to let him.
  • He looks great in red.
  • His hair is not dark, dark brown anymore.
  • His eyes are still changing from blue to brown, despite that the Dr said that after 2 months they don't change anymore.
  • He and his dad can trade silly noises for an hour.
  • He likes to wait until he has a freshly changed diaper to poop.
  • He can lay on a play mat happily at daycare for ages...at home: 30 seconds max.
  • He is a laid back baby, and I've stopped knocking wood every time I say it.
  • He is the coolest, sweetest, cuddliest boy ever and we are so lucky.
  • He has made our family complete.
Happy six month birthday, Little Buddy!

And he looks like Gavin now, not just Claire's little brother.
