Weeks 5 - 7

I am a horrible blogger :-).  These past weeks have flown by and Gavin seems to be getting bigger every single day!  He will actually be 8 weeks old tomorrow, I can't believe it. 

In the past 4 weeks Gavin has seen his uncle David off to Houston for his first big boy job.  Has celebrated his 1 month birthday.


















Has gotten lots of snuggles from his Paw Paw


Hung out with his Me-me and her crazy hair :-)


















looks like he is trying to say "Do you see this lady's hair??" 

Gavin has also been having some very serious discussions with his Daddy.  This one happened to be on Clay's 1st Father's Day.  I think Gav was trying to tell him how much he loved him and what a wonderful Daddy he was!

















And last but definitely not least, he started "school". 
This day was definitely harder on me than it was on him.  I was SO depressed the 3 days before hand.  I don't think I did a thing all day except for hold him and pray asking God for strength and guidance.  We, mostly Clay, had decided that taking him on the Thursday after he turned six weeks was the best idea instead of waiting until the following Monday.  And turns out it was a wonderful idea, it was so nice to only have to be away from him those two days instead of having to go a whole week.  It really eased me into the whole thing.  That and all the thousands of prayers from me and everyone else for my emotional well being.  All in all it was a fairly painless process.  He seems to be loving school and everyone at school seems to be loving him.  He is such a happy baby as long as he is not hungry :-).  We are so incredibly blessed.

Speaking of his eating habits.  He also moved up to 5 ounces every three hours during this time and he also started getting formula supplements.  My milk flow just couldn't keep up with him once I started pumping and quit nursing. 

He is growing like a little weed, we can barely keep up!

I will post later about his first vacation for the 4th of July
