Gavin is one month old!!

Our Sweet Gavin is One Month Old!!  I cannot believe how fast the time is flying by.

At one month, Gavin is much more alert and awake for longer periods of time.  He spends A LOT of time snuggling with mom, eating around the clock, and soaking in the craziness around him which includes constant (and i mean constant) kisses from his brother and sister!

Gavin gave me the best one month birthday present last night - 

he slept for a 5 hour stint!!!!!  

Very exciting in mom's world!

  

Gavin is still just a little thing - at his one month appointment today, he weighed in at 7 lb 14 oz.  He is in the 5th percentile for weight and the 7th percentile for height.  He was 3 weeks early so he will likely catch up!

Sam and Ava love Gavin and are very serious when it comes to what his nickname should be - Sam INSISTS it is "Gav" and Ava INSISTS it is "Little G"  - the cause of a few heated discussions.  He also gets called "Gavy" a lot and "Pumpkin" by mom.

 

Although Gavin is a pretty mellow baby, today was the first exception where he would not let me put him down all day and wanted to snack around the clock - the doctor warned me now is the time - about a 2 week window where baby has not learned to soothe themselves and become a lot more "needy" but should subside a little after the two weeks.  It was definitely time to get the Baby Bjorn out as he loves being with mom and so far tonight has worked wonders (he is attached and sleeping as i type!)
