Seven Months Old~ November 22, 2009!!!
Dear Gavin,
You turned seven months old this month and celebrated Thanksgiving! What an awesome month!!! We traveled home to celebrate Thanksgiving with mommy's family. Everybody enjoyed having such a happy baby around for the holiday. You were a real trooper:) A three hour car ride down, lots of time with family, and then staying in a hotel. You like adventure and are quite the little traveler.
* Your sleeping habits are still wonderful but you have started waking up to see daddy off for work. This means a little less sleep at night but a bit longer naps during the day. I think you hear daddy moving around and getting ready for work and just can't imagine not saying good morning.
* You still have two teeth and are working really, really hard on getting some more in. I feel like you drool ALL THE TIME! I am just sure that more teeth will come in soon.
* You are crawling around like crazy. You can get anywhere you want to be rather quickly. We actually bought a new entertainment console to contain all of the video equipment because you were so intrigued. This console is lower to the ground and has doors on it. So nice! We are working on getting the family room completely baby proof.
* You are now eating three meals a day and take four bottles. You are taking about 24-26 ounces of formula a day. You will eat anything but certainly have your favorite things. You love sweet potatoes and winter squash. You like all kinds of fruit but are still not bonkers about anything with bananas in it.
* You have already discovered the stairs and are trying to pull yourself up them. TOO SOON!
* This month you really started "playing" with your friends. You aren't quite sure how to interact with others in playgroup. However, you crawl over and try to interact. So cute!
* You are mesmerized by older kids. If we are eating at a restaurant, you look around until you see a big kid to check out and will watch their every move.
* You can easily move between a crawling position and sitting position. You are almost always sitting up waiting for me to pick you up out of bed.
* You love bath time. You splash, splash, and splash some more. Sometimes it looks like I just got out of the bathtub.
* One of your favorite stories is Time for Bed. I have it memorized and you already know what is going to happen next.
* I can always get you to laugh by playing the "get ya" game.
* You enjoy cruising in your stroller. We walk a couple of mornings a week with a friend at the mall. You seem to really enjoy it.
* We are all so excited for Christmas. I think it is going to be a great year. You will be eight months old and a ton of fun!
We love you bunches little buddy!
Mom and Dad
