A future linebacker?

Mommy and Daddy might be spending a lot of their time at football games in the future. Gavin had his 1 month old appt on Monday, and he is measuring off the charts for both height and weight! Gavin is now 23 inches long and 12 lbs 8 oz!

Gavin has has a very busy week! On Wednesday he went to the Farmer's Market in Grayslake with Mommy and her friend Kristin and her daughter Olivia (Gavin's future girlfriend if he plays his cards right!). We got some delicious corn on the cob and ice cream before Gavin decided he had enough of all that fresh air.

Yesterday Gavin had quite the fussy day, but we still decided to go visit Annie and Tom and their new baby Jack. Jack and Gavin had the same due date, but Jack decided to show up in a more timely manner, so Jack is 2 weeks older than Gavin. Gavin was not too excited to be out and about yesterday, and didn't want to follow Jack's good example, but like always, he knocked out as soon as we were moving in the car on the way home.

Today, Gavin and Mommy got up very early to go meet Mommy's teacher friends for breakfast before school! It was good practice for Mommy...now she knows just how many things can go wrong when you're trying to get two people ready in the morning! But once we got to the restaurant 20 minutes late, Gavin calmed down and let Mommy enjoy her bacon and eggs :) And Gavin got to meet another of his baby friends, Caleb, who is also only 2 weeks older than Gavin.

Gavin is also taking some big steps towards (hopefully!) being a better sleeper! Gavin currently is convinced that Mommy and Daddy are doing super exciting things when he sleeps, so he fights off sleep as much as he can. He only sleeps in his bouncer that Mommy and Daddy have nicknamed "Froggy" because it has a frog hanging from the top that plays music. But last night, Gavin slept for over 2 hours straight in his pack and play, and another 2 hours straight in his crib! Too bad one of those stints was from 6-8...Mommy can't pull off napping at that time of day!

We don't have many pics to post for this week, just Mommy with Gavin, Gavin and Daddy napping, and my first attempt at a video posting! (Gavin enjoying the mobile in his crib).

But we have something better instead! When Gavin was about 2 weeks old, our friend Kim took professional pictures of him, and she is just about done publishing them to her website. The link is below to check out some super cute pics of Gavin...and there are more to come, so check the website again in a few days to see all the pics!
