Gavin 8 months

Gavin you are 8 months old!

You are now sitting up on your own, eating a ton of baby food, drinking four bottles a day and the best part is you're sleeping 12 HOURS at night (with two naps a day still)!

Playing with Daddy and Ethan

This month you went up to Milwaukee with Mommy and Daddy for Mommy's Uncle Mike's Funeral. It was a really sad weekend but your smiling face helped bring some happiness to everyone.

Gavin and Nana.

You even got to meet a couple of Mommy's best friends and your new best friend Liam.

You pretty much ignored each other, as babies do at this age, but I know we'll have a lot more play dates in the future!

This month was also your first St. Patrick's Day! Mommy loves this holiday and dressing you boys up. You are at least 1/8 Irish Gavin, we need to celebrate that for sure!

Silly Gavin

Gavin 8 months and Ethan 10 months

You love to laugh and are starting to realize you can MAKE people laugh, which you love even more. You still like to play a lot and only cry when hungry these days. You sleep on your belly every night and love your paci more and more each day.

You also said your first two words this month. The first was MAMA and the second was DADA. I was secretly hoping Mama would be first. Ethan, you and I were driving in the car and you said it. I had to confirm with Ethan that he heard it too and he did! You only said it a couple of times and then moved on to saying Dada all the time.

We love you little guy. You bring a smile to our faces every day!
