8 weeks!

Gavin is 8 weeks old today! According to my scale, he weighs 13 lbs and I've measured him at 23 inches long. He's doing great with tummy time- he can raise his head to look forward and can lift his chest off the floor for short periods of time.

Here's the handsome fellow in his bouncer:

Smiling for Daddy!

Bath time for the chubby baby.

Happy boy!

Christmas Pics

Most of the pictures with Gwydion turned out blurry because he was in constant motion. This is the first year that he really got what was going on. It was certainly lots of fun to watch him get so excited. He loved the presents, the company, and the decorations.

Christmas eve- the fun begins.

Musical instruments, a computer and baking stuff. It doesn't get any better than this.

Goofy grins are the best!


We had even more fun on Christmas Day. We invited everyone over for breakfast and presents.

Look, Mom! Its Harvey!

Christmas Pics

We had a wonderful Christmas but only got a few good pictures. Sorry for the short post- busy, busy here!

Papa Rick's visit

Gwydion loves it when Papa Rick comes to visit. This time, he brought a present- a big red truck just like his! Gwydion loves to play with it. He puts his cars in the trailer and drives them around.

Days like this...

make it all worth while.

Gavin is growing so fast! He's already outgrown many of his newborn clothes, and will be moving to size 1 diapers as soon as we run out of the newborn ones. Did I mention that our little turkey already weighs over 9 pounds? That means he's gained more than 2 pounds since birth. I'm telling ya, this kid knows how to eat!


Gwydion really loves his little brother, though of course he's a tiny bit jealous that Mom doesn't have quite as much free time right now.

This is the only picture I have of all 3 of them, so here they are!

Grandma Susan's visit

Gwydion loves having visitors. Especially when they bring presents! Needless to say, there was much present opening during this visit. Gwydion had a great time with Grandma Susan and Uncle Chris. He was sad when they left, and even wanted to drive to Ohio yesterday. He still remembers the number of their hotel room, and tells me about it every time we drive past. Hopefully we'll be able to visit sometime next year.
