Five Months Old

I know this is a blurry picture, but it's the best one of the day. Today, Gavin is 5 months old. I don't really know where the time has gone! Things I want to remember: he smiles and recognizes us, tries to grab things, and is a fairly happy baby. He loves playing underneath his toys hanging above him. He does not like the swing, or bumbo (darn it) and mostly loves being held. He weighs 15 lbs (when he was weighed when he was sick). We love you sweet boy!

Poor Gavin

My sweet baby has been very sick the past several days. It started last Wednesday when he woke up looking like this. I called the doctor and they said to give him Benedryl and they also prescribed some eye drops. By the end of the day, his eye had gone down, but he had a runny nose. His nose never really got better and on Friday late afternoon, he started running a fever. I ended up taking him to the doctor on Saturday and he has the flu, RSV, and an ear infection. He's just absolutely miserable, poor guy. The good thing is that his lungs were clear and he is eating well. He did sleep better today, but his little nose is so raw and yucky. Hopefully he will get better quickly because it's just so sad.

Happy Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day! Today is my mom's favorite holiday. Because: you don't have to go anywhere, do anything, be anything, cook anything.....you get the point. I had these shirts from last year and they worked for the day. Poor Gavin doesn't have a shirt, but he's also taking a nap, so that's good for all of us. Hope you enjoy the holiday!
