Mommy and Me

Gavin and I are enjoying our time together. He came along with me to my 6 week OB appointment and I held him on the scale with me and then passed him to the nurse and he weighed between 12 and 13 pounds. Here are a few things I want to remember about our early days together: on Gavin's "not-so-great" nights he is usually awake and eating or being fussy from 1 am to 5 am. All other nights he does a good job by only waking Mommy at 1 am and 4 am for a good feeding, diaper change, and quick snuggle before falling back to sleep. Gavin makes many baby noises; some very sweet and precious and some not so sweet like GRUNTS. I would say that he grunts an awful lot. Sometimes Mike and I laugh about it and sometimes (at 4 am) it makes me crazy! :) Gavin got a cold this week and has had a hard time sleeping at night. It has made me very sad, but he is cooing and smiling lots this week too, which makes my day!
