week seven - bellies and tongues

Mrs. Neubert made this beautiful blankie for me!
She is the mommy of a little girl my momma had in kindergarten.

It is so amazing to watch Gavin Alan grow and blossom!  He has been really fascinated by his tongue this week :)  It seems like he just can't understand what it is lol.  I so enjoy watching him explore with it, however sometimes it causes him to push his bottle out...silly boy!  He is also getting so much stronger.  We are working on belly time everyday though it is not always his favorite it does make his neck strong and he is getting closer and closer to holding his head up without support.

Tuesday we spent our first day at the Breastfeeding Support Group at the hospital.  It was great to connect with old friends and meet some new ones.  Gavin was weighed there and was coming in strong at 10 pounds 11 ounces. It is such a wonderful place to network and we look forward to going next week.  We love learning and growing on their facebook page too!  It is so wonderful to have a great group of women to connect with!

This week we also visited Phoebe at her house for a clothing party.  It was fun to meet some new friends and have them share in feeding Gavin.  He even got to try on some new clothes :)

Phoebe feeding me!

Saturday we spent a beautiful day walking with our friends Jessie and Roderick on the bikepath.  Though Gavin was not too happy to be in the car seat, which seems to be a trend.  He really prefers not to be restricted and wants to be on the move.  He's favorite moments are laying on the floor looking around and discovering.
