Eight Months and counting...

Mr. Gavin had his eight month birthday yesterday, and he celebrated by joining mommy and daddy at the shore and cheering on as daddy completed his second triathlon. Gavin was very well-behaved at the beach, and aside from trying to eat the sand instead of playing in it - he continues to be a natural beach bum.

No new tricks to report - he now crawls only as a means to get to something to climb on - as he acts like standing is the only thing he wants to do. It's cute but exhausting! Gavin got tooth number six recently...not sure exactly when but luckily the last few were not as challenging as the first few. His parents will take any progress they can get.

Good bye, summer!

We spent the last, unofficial weekend of summer at the Jersey Shore - and had a blast! Gavin and his four teeth and incessant crawling kept mommy and daddy on their toes, but it was certainly nice to spend time with family and friends.

Absent climbing on EVERYTHING he sees, no new milestones to report - which is good news for Gavin's parents who are still trying to adjust to the last few.

We are looking forward to the next month which is full of events - showers, weddings, races, and more. Stay tuned...

Go Gavin, Go!

Well, talk about a milestone - this crawling sure has Mommy and Daddy exhausted! Crawling turned to climbing almost overnight - and now we cannot look away from our little guy without him getting into something he shouldn't.

Daddy and Gavin went to CT this weekend for a party while Mommy was in NYC with friends. Thanks again to CT Grandma and Grandpa for everything, especially Gavin's first car which he loves!

We are heading to the Jersey Shore this weekend for an end of summer, Labor Day celebration. Be sure to check back next week for more pictures!
