Gavin turned 6 months old this week! Six months really blew past in most aspects. This week Gavin began to grab for EVERYTHING that catches our attention. He also flipped from belly to back during several naps. He's had great head/neck strength for some time but was just not really interested in the whole rolling thing. I think he tries to get to his lion lovey (blanket) and the fish aquarium thing attached to his crib and flips---just needed some good motivation, I guess. Gavin has also definitely developed an attachment to his lion lovey. It's so cute: when I lay him down in his crib for a nap or at bed time- he reaches out for lion and then cuddles it to his face or "nurses" it.
More on the poop-front: WE HAVE SOLID POOOOO! :) Looks like the digestive system got it figured out. We also have BM's at least once/day now- I'm sure Gavin is a tad bit more comfortable. :)
Teething signs: LOTS-O-DROOL!! I mean LOTS. I know what those goofy little bibs that do NOTHING during meal time are for now---keeping the front of outfits less than drenched from all the drool! If I don't have one on him when he's just hanging out or playing- drenched he is.
**Got "real" bibs this week: plastic fronts and WAY more coverage from Kohl's on sale.
Another sign: chewing, chewing, noming, noming on everything constantly. I'm sure some cute little teeth are on their way any day now (let's hope he doesn't inherit the Whitehead gap between the two front ones).
Water: Gavin went with me to my 10 year high school reunion last Saturday out at Ginnie Springs. He was perfectly fine with the water temp! I, on the other hand, was not. Even with it being ridiculously hot and sticky- I did not go all the way in. Gavin got up to his chest and loved it just as if he was in the pool. Speaking of pools: Gavin went all the way under water for the first time yesterday at the YMCA pool. I was a bit hesitant to do it for fear he'd freak out, so I waited until we were about to get out of the pool. He was surprised by it but once I wiped the water off his face- he was fine again. No tears.
Two more weeks before I head back to adult world (internship) three days/week and Gavin is in a home daycare. I'll say it with no guilt: I'm actually looking forward to having a bit of my own identity back; however, I know it will be bittersweet! I'll probably be fighting back tears the first few days!
