5 Months

My sweet son,

What a fun month this has been! It seems like everyday there is something new...playing with a different toy, finding your feet, finding that you can put those feet in your mouth, trying solids for the first time, and best of all you finally rolled from your back to your tummy! It's so sweet to watch you play with daddy and giggle at him! And all the silly stories coming from school...your conversations with Olivia, holding hands with all the ladies...chewing on Olivia's arm! You are quite the ladies man! And then of course your notorious diapers...you seem to enjoy your days there and love all the attention!

You still love your hands whether its chewing on them or staring intently at them. You have also discovered mommy's hair and how to pull it! The blue blanket is still a must...now you even love for it to cover your face while you fall asleep. You play with it and have started being silly by covering your face and making these huffy puffy sounds. It scared me at first because it sounded like you were struggling to breathe! You still love your swing and I have no idea what we will do when you are to big for it.

Attacking the lion now...

You are finally mobile...its amazing to watch you start to understand rolling..mobility is almost here when you put together that you can use this rolling technique to get places!

Cereal

So the experiment with solid foods has begun....sometimes he refuses...sometimes he eats it with no problems and other times.....
he just gets messy and wants the spoon!

Mother's Day

Matthew and I are very lucky to have wonderful moms. They have been very supportive, encouraging, Godly women and over the past 14 months have been wonderful as we have entered our own journey of parenthood. And God has provided even more blessings with all the other wonderful Moms who are apart of our lives...grandmas, aunts, friends...so many that I can't begin to name them all. I hope each of you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Mother's Day weekend was an eventful weekend for our little family. Saturday we headed to the Columbus/Phenix City area to spend time with my Mom and Grandmother. It was nice to get to spend some quiet relaxing time with both of them. And to let Gavin spend some time with his Great-Grandmother.
And of course, his Granddad was there to spoil him...with trying to give him a cookie...and walking him around outside...

Sunday we celebrate with Matt's family. It was a little more active than our Saturday celebration...Gavin was able to meet and play with a few of his cousins! And of course some time with his Great MaMa..and her famous sleepy pants! She can get any baby to sleep!

My two cool guys...my cup over flows!
