This was on Sunday Sept 19 while we were enjoying the weather outside while waiting for our 2nd counselor to come give me a calling. In addition to being on the activities committee I am now an asst. primary pianist. yikes. well i'll just have to get over my fears of playing in front of people and practice.

This is a clip of bath time with daddy! It's Nates first time giving Gavin a bath by himself and he did a great job, but Gavin knows something is different.

On Tuesday Sept 14th Gavin and I went to wait for nate at the bus stop, but we got there a little early so we went next door to the church and sat on the grass. At first I just had Gavin sitting on my leg and his feet touching the grass but he kept moving his feet around so I couldn't tell if the grass was poking his feet or if he liked it. So I laid him on a burp cloth on the grass and he was just wiggling around in it, but stopped to discover his hands for the first time and I just happen to catch it on camera.

well we got Gavin a bumbo chair a couple of weeks ago since he can hold his head up pretty well. However,He's so small in it so some times he cheats and leans his head back, But he does well in it most of the time.

At Gavins two month doctor appt Gavin got his shots and we measured him at 24" long and 13 lbs 6 oz. he's also in the 70% range for his height and 30% range for his head size. so other than having a bit of a smaller head he's proportional height and weight wize. the doctor also said since he's already doubled his weight that we were going to change up his diet a little. so he told me to start him on rice cereal once a day for a while and then we'd move to twice a day and then in a month or so start on some of the baby foods. So the first night i tried making it really runny like the box says and put it in a bottle, but i guess it was too thick to come out. so the next night i tried doing more of a spoon fed cereal, hoping he wasn't too little, since most babies start rice cereal around 4-6 months. But he did great! here's a picture of our first night of spoon fed cereal that he managed to get on his hand and spread ALL over his face.

The third weekend in August is the Bow Hunt for my Moms side of the family. It's where we go camping in the middle of no where for a week and ride 4 wheelers and play paintball and hang out with all the family. It was my first time going in a long time, and my first time going where i had to make my own food and be the mom. (it made me miss my mommy):) So my brother dan and his family decided to combine camp with our family which was a lot more fun for all. We were planning on going thursday through Sunday but unfortunatly Nate's grandfather had passed away that wednesday and the funereal was that saturday. So we just went up thursday and friday but that gave us a good idea of what other things would be nice in our camping supplies.Nate and I went on our first 3 wheeler ride together and... it was an experiance.;) Gavin did great and got better sleep then his mom and dad did. it was a lot of fun and we can't wait for next years.

well Gavin just turned 3 months. so here are some updates about the 2nd month of his life and how nate and I are trying to keep up:)
