Gavin is 2 months old!

Gavin is two months old today we went to the doctor this morning and got the stats. The boys also got flu shots which they did so good at, Owen even said goodbye to the nurse and blew her a kiss when she was done. Gavin's stats are:

Height: 22 1/2 inches 25%
Weight: 10lb 2oz 22%
Head: 39 cm 50%.

So he is kind of small but that is how the boys started then by 6 months they were in the 90% for weight but they stayed short so we will see what Gavin does.
We are also remembering how hard it is to get good pictures or video of babies. Gavin smiles fairly often, but it seems like we can never quite capture it. Until 3 days ago. I was playing with him, and I decided to pull out the camera and see if he would do anything. I was able to catch him smiling and being happy, so here it is for you to enjoy as well.




Also about a week ago, Gavin was having some tummy time while Clint picked up the living room. I heard him make a sound, and i looked over and noticed he was on his back. I wasn't sure what was going on, since he was not quite 2 months old yet. He did it again another time, about 3 times total. He did not do it on command, so we couldn't get it on camera. The same day that I filmed him smiling, he rolled over again. I put him on his tummy again, and he rolled over. I got the camera and got a small clip of part of him rolling over. He still can't do it on command, but when he does it, he does it a lot. Here is the video. I turned it on right at the very end.


Well that is about it for us nothing really new with the boys except for the fact that naps have pretty much stopped now and that they love helping with Gavin. We are starting to get in a routine with all three kids, The house is always a mess and dishes are never done but all boys go to bed with full tummys and smiles on there face so I guess that is really what matters the most. We will get some more picture over Halloween and post then. I hope you all have a good Halloween and be safe!

Family Update

OK so Now having three kids under the age of 3 I am finding it hard to keep up with my blog not that I was really good at it before. Things have started to slow down since my last post. although the poop on the wall has not stop in its entirety the duck tape and packaging tape around the diaper seem to be slowing it down. Tyson has figured out how to get it off a few times. Also Gavin has always slept 4 to 5 hour nights since he was born but now he is going 6 to 6 1/2 he went 7 hours one night but I don't ever count on that. It is just nice to get a little more rest. although between the boys, Clint's 3:30 am alarm and Gavin's cooing himself back to sleep I never get the full amount that I wish for. Well some things have happened since my last blog. First my dad came down to get my mom after she stayed with me to help with the boys while I recovered from the c-section. We went to the park and played a few times. Then we taught the boys how to stack their cups and hit a ball off of that instead of out of each others hand( which always ended in tears) Here is a few pictures of that


We decided even though we take picture of Gavin at certain ages we couldn't tell how much he has grown so we used a Tickle Me Elmo to keep track of how fast he is growing. The first picture is of him at 4 weeks and the one of him in a white onesie is at 6 weeks he is growing so fast.






Also over that weekend we had the opportunity to give Gavin his baby blessing. It was nice to have so many family and friends here for that. We are thankful for the family that we have and are so glad so many people could make it down for it.

This is a picture of Ty wearing daddy's new headphones he got with his birthday money. They are really nice when you put them on you can hardly hear anything on the outside and the sound is amazing.

During conference something great happened. we were watching the Saturday afternoon session and Gavin was in the swing, Tyson was over there making faces and talking to him and I looked over and I asked Clint if it looked like Gavin was smiling at Ty. Now only being 5 1/2 weeks I didn't think he was so later that evening I came and sat in front of him and he started smiling at me as I was talking to him. a real smile not the gassy type. I have tried to get many pictures but every time I go to get the camera he stops, The camera seems to mesmerize I finally got one on my cell phone but I had to hold it out cause if he stopped looking at my face he would stop smiling. so I couldn't put the cell phone directly in front of him. Here is the cell picture sorry not great quality.

This second one was taken with our camera but the flash kind of blotted out his face and smile and his head was tilted backwards.



Today the boys and I have been just lounging around I remembered a alphabet carpet that we bought a long time a go. one of those made of foam so I decided to go get it out of the closet we spent the morning building blocks and stuff with it, the boys love it. Owen is so obsessed with the ABC and numbers it is the perfect toy. Here is a tower we built. and a cage for Ty!!

Well that is it. I will try to be better at updating I am sure you have noticed if you have a facebook or myspace account too that I have been a terrible slacker on that too.
