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!
