Wordless Wednesday: Christmas in July

Jumpity Jump

Yesterday, Mum, Gavin and I packed up and headed to the city for the day.  The mission was shopping…shopping for Gavin.  We have a decent selection of clothes/baby gear in town, but it is nothing compared to what is available in the city.  

One of the items that I had on my list was the Evenflo ExerSaucer Jump & Go.  Even though you can start using them at four months, and Gavin is just about five, I figured that he would be too small. 

And I was right…he’s a little too small, but he still enjoys it!

Wordless Wednesday: 1st Day in the Shades

4 Month Checkup

On Tuesday we went for Gavin's four month doctor's appointment.  It was a little different than usual because the doctor had a student working with him - much to Gavin's delight.  It was so amusing to watch him. Once he got used to her, he flirt up a storm.  Smiling, squealing and batting his lashes.  Too funny!

He's growing like a weed. I was delighted to see Gavin weigh in at 12 lbs 4 oz, and a length of 56 cm.  My little boy is growing so fast; almost 7 pounds since birth!

After his checkup, and the normal "first time mom" questions, it was time for his immunizations.  I must say, he is such a little toughie.  Of course, he cried. What do you expect, being jabbed with those awful needles? And not once, but twice.

Once we were back outside, I rocked him and walked him, wishing to take away his pain.  It was only a few minutes when he cooled down, and quietly curled up in his car seat, peacefully falling asleep in the back of the truck.  As I buckled myself in, I let out a sigh, feeling the delay of my heart breaking.  I held in my tears, while I also felt a smile at the corner of my lips.  "That's my boy - he's stronger than his Mama".
