Yesterday marked the start of Gavin's 6th month of life. And full of life and energy he certainly is. We don't have his 6 mo check up until next week, so I don't have those stats to report yet, but we have no worries about his growth. He is a happy eater and some days it seems as though he is growing right before our very eyes. He's been eating solids for a little while know (fortunately for us, our Ped. group supports solids before 6 months, or we would have had one grumpy 4 1/2-5 month old). So far, his favorite food seems to be bananas. Though, he is pretty content eating most anything we've offered him to this point. The best is the way he turns his head up and to the side, with his nose wrinkled when he is full, as to say, "no more for me, thank you."
In the past few weeks, Gavin has really taken off in the rolling department, literally. When he wants to get somewhere, he starts tucking those arms in and away he goes. Slowly but surely he works his way off his play mat and usually tries to head in the direction of his big sister. Fortunately, Caylin loves it and encourages him on. Additionally, he has been chattering up a storm as well. Needless to say, Caylin is a great role model in that department. :)
Gavin showing off some of his new moves (and sounds):
Gavin celebrated his 6 month day by revealing his first tooth!!! It is barely above the surface of his lower gums, but it is clearly there. With all of the drooling and finger chewing and toy chewing he has been doing, I'm not totally surprised to see it.
I'm sure we'll have much to report next week, when we head to the peds. Not only will Gavin be getting his 6 month wellness check, Caylin will be getting her 3 year check too. More to come on turning 3 at the end of the month! :)
