2 Months old!

Gavin is 2 months old today!  He has grown so much in the last month, and looks more like a baby and less like a blob :)

Here is Gavin smiling at Mommy...I like this picure :)

Gavin chillin with his teddy bear friend, Rufus.  No teddy bear gang signs in the pics this month.  Maybe Gavin and Rufus have cleaned up their act.

Below is our 2 month letter to Gavin:

Dear Gavin,

You’re 2 months old today! You’ve gone through so many changes in the last month, its hard to remember them all. Looking back on your 1 month letter, you seem like a totally different baby!

A month ago you were still sleeping in “Froggy” and only sleeping for about an hour and a half at a time. Now you sleep in your crib, and you sleep from about 8pm to 6am with usually just one wake up in between! Mommy and Daddy really love your new sleeping schedule 

Last month, you didn’t really “play” very much, and now you love to play when you wake up in the morning. You always have a big smile for Mommy when she walks in the room to get you, and you love to play with the bears mobile, or your new favorite toy, your playmat with the flashing, singing globe!

You’re also starting to figure out that you can bat at things within your reach, and you’re starting to grab things. In fact, just today Mommy noticed that you were checking out one of her fall decorations, so she moved you close enough to touch it, and you not only reached out and grabbed it, you tried to pick it up off the table and drop it on the floor!

This last month you’ve also visited a lot of new places. You’ve been to lots of restaurants with Mommy and Daddy, you went to Mommy’s school to visit her teacher friends, you’ve been on lots of playdates with Olivia and Caleb, and you even went to the farmers market! And soon you’ll be visiting another new place, daycare. Mommy is very sad to not be able to play with you all day, but she’s excited for you to meet other babies and have lots of new experiences.

You haven’t had your official 2 month doctor appointment yet, but you’re definitely still growing! Mommy and Daddy guess that you weigh about 15 pounds and are about 24 to 25 inches long! Although you may be a big boy, it sounds like Daddy was too. We checked his baby book when we visited Grandma and Grandpa Gillespie, and Daddy was almost 15 pounds when he was 2months old too. So don’t worry Gavin, you’re just your father’s son!

We’re looking forward to the next few months Gavin. You’re going to have many first holidays, you’ll be baptized, and you’ll reach lots of new milestones! Happy 2 month birthday little guy!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

And here's some pics from Gavin's playdate this week:

Lean on me, when you're not strong....

Aw, Gavin holding hands with his future girlfriend :)
