Five Months old...check! First Father's Day...check!

Big week last week, as Gavin turned five months old on Friday - and we celebrated our first father's day as a little family on Sunday. He has also started giggling incessantly when tickled - something that is both adorable and hysterical depending on which laugh he gives out!

We have a week off coming up around the 4th - looking forward to some much needed time away with friends and family.

Enjoy the pictures!

Happy Baptism!

Mr. Gavin was Baptized yesterday, looking dapper in his all white garb. He was very well-behaved, and made even the priest giggle with his charming faces and smooth moves. All of our family got together to celebrate at a Mexican Restaurant afterward and had a blast!

The big guy turns five months this week, stay tuned for more pictures as we all enjoy the summer fun!

Party All The Time!

Well, the warm weather has arrived, and so has BBQ season! Gavin is getting to be quite the party animal - attending a few each of the past two weekends. Thanks to the Krays for having us over last weekend, and Emily and Deb for inviting us to each of their Manayunk Bike Race parties Sunday - Gavin's first but likely not last.

Our little man is doing great - enjoying all of the fresh air lately. He is rolling all over the place now - and recently found his new favorite toy that he can't stop playing with..his feet!

Summertime!

Gavin couldn't wait for the unofficial beginning of summer last weekend...we think it was just so he could show off is new cap and shades. We had a family trip to the shore, and Gavin was waiting at the finish line when his parents completed their annual 5 mile race in Spring Lake, NJ.

Gavin had his four month check up at the doctor this week, and aside from being in the 95% for height and 90% for weight, the doctor notified us that, "he could end up being a big boy"...could end up? I'd say he is well on his way!

We have had a lot of time with our extended family in the past few weeks - thanks for everyone's help - especially letting Mommy and Daddy get away for a few!

Rice cereal, anyone?

Well, it's been three weeks since Gavin played a trick on his parents making them think he was going to start sleeping through the night. So this weekend, we tried a little rice cereal before bed to improve our chances. Too early to tell what the effects will be, but we figured we would share the pictures - you'll know why when you see them!

Gavin also rolled over from his tummy to his back for the first time this weekend! His mother was the only one who saw it, but I suppose we can believe her.

Tuesday will be four months for the big guy - time flies!

Jinx!

Well, guess who hasn't slept through the night since the last post! Jumped the gun hoping that he had turned the corner...oh well. We have still had a great few weeks with our little man.

Gavin made his first trip to the shore and also had his first sleepover with his CT grandparents while mommy and daddy slipped out for a night on their anniversary.

We are happy to report that Karen enjoyed her first mother's day, including the special gift from her adoring son. She certainly deserved to have a wonderful day!

Here's to hoping you-know-who remembers how to you-know-what through the night again by the next post...stay tuned.

Guess who slept through the night?!

Apologies for not posting last week, but we are back with wonderful news...Gavin slept through the night the past two nights! His parents are happier than he is in this picture - if that's possible.

We hope you enjoy the pictures in this post - including the one where Gavin is giving his buddy, Benny, a "wet willie". Boys will be boys.

Have a great week!
