On Saturday we did the March For Babies walk at Columbia Park, the weather was beautiful and we survived 6.5 miles! Gavin slept for part of it and then was happy in his stroller for the most part, but the last couple of miles we all had to take turns holding him. He had such much fun with all of the people and noise.
Today is my birthday ~ I can't believe I am already 26! I can't believe Gavin is already 7 1/2 months old so I can only imagine how crazy it is for my parents knowing that their baby is 26! In other news - Gavin has his first tooth! I could feel it on Friday but today you can see it! How exciting! Here are a few pictures from tonight -
Gavin slept through the night for the FIRST time! He went to bed around 8:30 and it's now almost 7 am and he is still sleeping. I feel so awake and refreshed - definitely one of the best nights of sleep I've had since September!
Do any of you know anyone who would be interesting in babysitting Gavin part time? We need someone willing to watch him mostly in the mornings. My mother in law would pick him up when she gets off work and that varies anywhere between 1-3. We would pay per hour that he is being watched. Please let me know if you know anyone who would be interested. I would much rather find someone through someone I know and trust. Thank you!
*Eating mostly stage 2 baby food now. He loves almost every single kind he has had ~ and really seems to love bananas.
*Still breastfeeding in the morning, at night and in the middle of the night when he wakes up. Unfortunately I don't make enough to pump so he gets formula when he is with his babysitters.
*No teeth yet but I think it will be happening soon. In the daylight I can see a VERY small white dot that I think might be a tooth soon!
*He is sleeping a bit better at night - usually sleeping anywhere from 4-6 hours at a time.
*Not crawling yet but he is starting to figure out to pull himself across the floor. He also likes to roll all over the place!
*Everyone comments on what a good and happy baby he is and it's so true! He is so smiley and is hardly ever fussy. Matt & I are so proud of him and fall in love with him more every single day.
We finally had some professional pictures taken of Gavin a couple of weeks ago when he was 6 1/2 months old. I am absolutely convinced he is the most adorable baby ever! See for yourself...
