9 Month-Day Picture

11/29/09

Gavin got to celebrate his nine month-day in Georgia meeting family and charming everyone. We didn't have his blue monkey with him for pictures, but we gathered up 9 toys from what we brought with us and what Grandma had that was age appropriate. I'm so glad Gavin is so easy going and good natured. He had a busy week and was a trouper. His naps were all messed up; he didn't sleep well at night; but, he was all smiles. (Well, mostly.)

In the past month, Gavin has gained a new tooth--his upper left tooth. We love his snaggle-toothed grin. I keep thinking the second tooth will be on its way, but we haven't seen it yet. I do think it is close to making it's debut since Gavin is running his tongue along the gum, more and more.

Gavin continues to be quick to smile. His laugh is infectious. He loves bath time and playing on the floor after his bath.

We're still introducing foods to him. His appetite is a mystery. Some days, he's hungry; others, not so much. Thursday night he ate all of his cereal (3T), finished a container of garden vegetables, bananas & strawberries, and sweet potatoes. He had previously eaten a bit of each of the containers of food, but hadn't finished them. But something happened Thursday night, and he was ready to eat. We've tried introducing table foods to him with mixed results. He loved cooked carrots from The Cotton Patch. He likes to be hand-fed pieces of bread.
