Bath Time!

Now that he's older he loves playing with his toys and splashing around in the bath tub!! We enjoy it too! Especially when we spike his hair in to a mohawk! lol

Lil Mankins is 8 months old!

Being 8 months old is sooo tiring!
Gavin can now sit up by himself, rollover both ways, feed himself finger foods, and can almost pull himself up to standing by himself!! We are soo proud of our little man, but it's heartbreaking thinking of all the time that has gone already. Just Bittersweet.

Time for sippy cup!

Wasn't sure how Gavin would react to the Sippy Cup, but he will be 6 months tomorrow and is able to drink juice. So I started him last night. He loved the Apple Juice, and actually held his own cup! We're so proud, he's a Big Boy!! lol

Rolling Over!

So this should have been posted awhile ago, but we've been house hunting and just signed a purchase agreement! We should be moving on the 1st of August!

More importantly, Gavin has learned to roll over from tummy to back!It was on June 21st! In fact, he has almost rolled over from back to tummy!

Father's Day 2009

We went to my parents' house for a barbecue and Michael's parents came too! You could tell that Michael was really excited to have his first father's day with our whole family.

Solids!

My Big Man is on Cereal now!! We started him about a week ago on rice cereal. It took him a couple of weeks to get in to the swing of things. Once we changed him to Oatmeal, he gets very excited about Breakfast and Dinner time!

His first meal of Oatmeal, he ate the entire bowl, then began sucking off the extra oatmeal on his hands and arms. When he ran out he stuck his tongue out and began licking the sides of his cheeks! (Apparently he likes Oatmeal.hehe)

1st Easter!!!

Gavin had his very first Easter yesterday!!! We spent the night at my parents house so we could do Easter moring and easter bunny at their house. He has the Velveteen Rabbit book and stuffed animal, as well as, the Kickin Boppin Gym from Maw-Maw's Easter Bunny. Mommy and Daddy's Easter Bunny brought him The Little People's 50th Annv cd, a touch-and-feel Easter Bunny book, and a chime elephant toy that hangs from his carrier. I have never seen him smile as much as he did when he played with the kickin boppin gym! He had a great time and so did we!!
