A week of firsts!

Our little munchkin, Gavin has had a HUGE week of firsts. For the past month it has been a waiting game for his teeth to come in. He has been drooling, mashing his gums together, chewing on anything he can get his hands on, and having random bursts of outrage.


Finally the tooth popped through on Monday, granted I didn't get the opportunity to see it until Tuesday, I just felt it. Gavin has a very adverse reaction to people trying to put fingers in his mouth. Let alone try to pry his mouth open so we can look at his new tooth.


Then on Tuesday the little turkey took a few crawls. He has been somewhat mobile for a few weeks, his favorite way of getting around is rolling everywhere. Which is always fun when I leave the room for a minute and return to find him down the hallway or under the coffee table. He has yet to make another stab at the crawling, he will get up on all fours and then realize that he would rather roll.


He then finished off the week with me walking into his room and finding him sitting up in his crib playing with his fish mobile on Wednesday. Daddy couldn't wait to see it, but he had a better first when he walked into his room Thursday morning and found him STANDING in his crib. We quickly lowered the mattress, or our little monkey may very well hop out of the crib! Standing is his favorite thing right now. He loves holding your fingers and pulling himself into a standing position and taking a step or two. I think he will just get up and walk before he actually gets down the whole crawling concept.

Gavin is also getting very animated and funny. He loves to mimic you, whether it being sounds, laughter, kissing faces, raspberries, etc. My all time favorite is this thing that he started doing about a week ago. Greg and I have never done it to him, so unsure of where he picked it up at, but hilarious! When he is frustrated or mad he will scrunch up his face and furrow his brow and make blowing noises out of his mouth. Somewhat like a monkey. I have attached a picture of what it looks like. I finally took some video of it, I will try and upload soon.



It has been a huge week not only for Gavin but for us also! Makes me realize that we need to finish with baby proofing our home!
