5 Months Old (only 5 days late!)


It is so hard to believe that our little man is five months old! He is growing up so fast! It is really hard for me to remember what Raegan was doing at that age. I did pull out one of her photo albums to see what she was up to. She was definitely smaller than Gavin. He is starting to "scootch" now. Sometimes he will do an army-type crawl and other times he will put his head down and butt up and push himself. The whole sitting up thing does not seem to interest him yet so we will have to work on that yet. He is really grabbing at things now too. His favorite seems to be Raegan's hair! Since he has an interest in holding things, Bob and I are working on getting him to hold his own bottle. He is doing ok, but pulls the bottle down and then can't get it back up. We finally got the whole food thing figured out too! He is on a formula that works better with his belly, loves his cereal, has gone through all of the vegetables and is just starting fruit. Bob is much better at feeding Gavin his non-bottle food. I was feeding him last night and he ended up with sweet potatoes EVERYWHERE from the top of his head to all over my white tank top. I was really surprised there wasn't more food on the walls!

We are all getting ready for a vacation to ND so there won't be posts or pics for a while!

Out of the mouths of babes!

This morning I took the kids to daycare. This is news because Bob usually does this. As we were driving, Raegan kept pulling at her hair making a horrible face. After a couple of minutes of this I asked her what was wrong. She told me

"My hair is really, really gross. Don't touch it, Mommy!"

Nothing more was brought up about her hair, but can this be happening already? She's only two! She is not supposed to be so concerned about her hair!!

Good-bye Grandma Dennis




Sadly, we had to say good-bye to Bob's Grandma Dennis on Friday. She passed away after a fight with cancer. She was a great lady and it was really hard to say good-bye. In April 2005, she was so happy to finally have another girl in the family! We were fortunate enough that Grandma passed her cute, crooked smile on to Raegan.

Grandma will be missed very much, but we are all happy that she is done battling this disease and is at peace.

We miss you Grandma!
