Our little man!
I want to apologize to everyone…I have been a bit lapse on my updating of the website with new news. Steph and I have our hands full with our little one year old. My how time flies, only seems like yesterday he was born and now he is running around. Yes, my son is now running…not just walking. Well, I guess its more of a fast walk, but for an infant he’s quick! He is growing too, 30.5 in. tall (75%) and 21.8 lbs (25%) Gavin has taken to eating real food now including whole milk. His favorites are chicken and peas. He comes and goes with his vegetables, some days liking carrots and green beans and others not wanting to touch them. He is EXTREMELY curious about everything, pointing at everything and waiting for a response from Mom or Dad about what it is. He has learned where his dirty diapers and trash go although sometimes it takes a bit of cohersion to get him to leave the diaper or trash in there! Since he was born, Steph and I have been trying to teach him some basic sign language: Milk, food, more, please and the ever popular poop. So far he recognizes food and milk, but he hasnt repeated the motions himself. Just last week, Gavin started doing “more” to indicate he wants food, but usually he uses it in the correct context. At least he is trying! However, he has also started crying when he dosent get what he wants. It dosent last long, but its enough…

As for Steph, she is doing well. The pregnancy is coming along nicely. Steph had the first official ultrasound on the 12th. The baby is about 16 - 17 weeks along and ~7oz. Steph is feeling this one a bit earlier than the other one. The radiologist tech said the baby measures at 17 weeks old except for the legs, which are at 16 weeks. Steph says the “official” age of the baby is 16 weeks so either we have a REALLY big kid or a regulare size kid with shorter legs…only time will tell. Ok this is the time in the post where those of you who dont like surprises need to go look else-where…
