The Abominable Snowman!







Check out the "winter coat" or should I say wooly blanket that my kid is stuffed into! Brian got Gavin this before he was born in case we run across some cold weather here but instead we will use it for the cold weather in Ohio! Oh this poor kid can't even move his arms! It even has a hole in it so you can buckle him into his car seat! Hey at least he got a little kick out of it! For some reason he thought it was a joke too and started laughing with us:)






He certainly won't get cold next week when it's supposed to be in the 20's! Maybe we will get to see that snow we wanted! Just had to show you also how cute he is in his new baseball cap. He loves wearing it!

We're getting ready to tear it up in Ohio!




It's almost time for Gavin to make his first appearance in Ohio:) We leave in 1 week 1/2 so I have been busy trying to get all the gear ready to make our flying time with Gavin as easy as possible. Gavin's (and mine) whole schedule has changed since he has decided not to nurse anymore. So why not add in a 3 hour time difference to add confusion to him! He has new bottles, nipples and is eating more due to having easy access to all the milk he wants in a bottle. Hopefully everything goes well at our time at the airport and in the air.




Well unfortunatly the Buckeyes didn't win but Gavin sure did have fun dressing up like a crazy nut! We had a few people over to watch the game. We had high hopes for Gavins first championship title with Ohio State but the fell short. However we had fun!




Gavin went to his Grandparents today so we could go see Juno. It is very cute! I highly recommend it. And now it's almost bedtime so we gotta go!

New Years Eve....So sad I'm in my PJ's at 8pm!




Shot time... No not the "good" shot kind


Well yesterday Gavin got his very first shots :( Very sad. It was bad but nothing out of the ordinary of what to expect in shots. He screamed, then held his breath while screaming, then the tears came. Oh then my tears came. But then Brian talked to him an calmed him down with his deep soothing voice and then Gavin slept pretty much the rest of the day. That is until 3pm when he woke up screaming bloody murder because his legs hurt and the Tylenol wore off. He screamed for and 1hr 15 mins strait and the choking kind of cry too! AWFUL! I ended up calling Brian and made him come home from work and then called the doctor. By the time Brian came home and the doctor called me back he had finally wore himself out and crashed in my arms. So it was nonstop Tylenol until about 5:30 tonight.


Then today he slept all day again and through the crazy storms too. We had some serious rain and winds today and all day! The winds were over 40 mph with gust around 50 mph. Our fence fell over, trash can in the pool and the neighbors tiki hut bar thingy is about to crash on the other side of the fence!


The picture above is a mild version of what Gavin looked like yesterday when he was screaming his head off because he was in so much pain. Poor baby, so sorry we made you get the shots :( But on a good note he is 23 inches long and weighs 11 lbs 6 oz at 9 weeks old. He is in the 50th percentile for his age group. Right on track Bubby!
