Mickey Sighting!

6 Months Old!!

(Hey, hey, it's my 1/2 BIRTHDAY!!)

Yes, the little man turned 6 months on Saturday, June 28th. Wow, a 6 month old. We are kind of glad he does not have the crawling thing down yet....you will see his attempt at the bottom of the blog. Along with tummy time and the practice of pushing up, Gavin is getting the sitting thing down, but his balance needs some work to help prevent the "face-plant" when he grabs for a toy.

(Hey, these sweet potatoes would taste better if dad would hit my mouth)

The week was crazy as Jill was working downtown in Minneapolis, taking care of things, putting in long days. Gavin and Daddy hung out in the evening and Gavin even convinced Daddy to get wings from BW-3! Gavin was also introduced to sweet potatoes.....he is sold. He had decided that maybe they needed marshmallows, butter, and brown sugar.

(M-I-C-...K-E-Y.....M-O-U-S-E!)

Grandma B joined Rob, Peg and the kids @ Disney World earlier in June and brought back some special ears just for Gavin. I don't think he knew just what to make of them, but went along with the fun. The weekend started with Gavin's 6 month old wellness check-up. Our little man weighed in at 16 1/2 lbs. and 26 3/4 inches. He was "thrilled" to get 3 more shots....actually he did pretty well, only crying for a few seconds after each one.

(Yo, Rocky!)

Gavin did have a rough week, getting away one extra day with out getting his nails clipped....bet he will let me clip them earlier next time. Nothing like going to the doctor's office shortly after a battle scar like this. At least it healed up some. It looks pretty good here, it looked worse the day before the picture.

Stacy and Steph came Friday night and hung out with us until Saturday afternoon. We enjoyed an evening @ Benihanna's with the two of them and our cousins: Kelly, Dustin, Monica, and Brent. While we were out, Gavin had his 1st "non-family" babysitter, Caitlin. She is Kelly and Dustin's neighbor. She took care of Alex and Gavin while the adults were out. Mommy wasn't too much of a nervous wreck leaving him for the first time.

Until next week! Enjoy these 5 pictures of Gavin attempting the pre-crawling position.

(Hmm, this feels right)

(Ah, ...sliding here!)

(Yep, pretty sure I'm loosing it!)

(I've lost it!)
