Keeping up with Gavin






Hey everyone! Sorry it's been forever since you've had a good post. We're finally recovering from the whole month of Octobers' important days. I think it's pretty safe to say that they next child that comes into our world won't be born in October because we can't afford another birthday then!

Gavin is adjusting to being one now and along with that comes another doctors visit. We have a few shots that were not very fun. After a visit to the scale the doctor was concerned with his weight. Gavin weighs 19 lbs even and is almost 31 inches long. Tall and lean! He is only in the 5th percentile in his weight and 74% in his height. So he ordered some blood work to see if maybe he has some food allergies such as wheat. He is also going to check for a cow's milk allergy so we can rule out if he still needs to be on soy milk. So after the grueling shots we had to truck upstairs to get some blood drawn. OUCH!! Gavin did really good but was terrified and cried like crazy! Poor guy. So hopefully we'll find out soon why our guy is so skinny or if he's just naturally lucky!

In the meantime Gavin is just going to play with his fun toys and practice walking. I would love for him to be walking by the time we go home to Ohio for Christmas but I am doubtful. Maybe it will happen when we are home for his cousins, aunt & uncle and grandparetens to see! He just really doesn't have much of an interest!

I wish my camera wasn't broken!


Well since my camera is broken and everyone is asking for more posts, I thought I would write a note even without any new photos. We're working on the camera as it is in the shop being fixed.

Gavin is such a great little guy! Life is so much fun with him! He is growing up right before our eyes. He loves to play with all the fun toys that he got for his birthday including his big red wagon. We could go in the wagon everyday and he would be the happiest boy in America! Just tonight we had some friends over for dinner and he had so much fun sitting in his wagon and watching us playing Buckeye corn-hole.

Today Gavin got his first hair cut! He was in such a need for a hair cut other than the one from Daddy. We went to Jack N Jilly Beans and they did a great job! He got to sit in a red fire truck while watching Baby Eienstein and playing with a toy cell phone. How perfect for him:) He actually did MUCH better than we thought! We actually think he enjoyed it. He looks so cute too! What a great looking boy.

Soon we'll get our camera back and running and we'll be able to post more pictures.
