arrival. gavin was born beautiful, super laid back (he has become a bit more . . . um . . . spirited over the past few weeks), and very alert (except in this picture, which is too cute to pass up). we are truly in love.
week 1. if a newborn's facial expressions say anything about what their personality will ultimately be, then gavin is an interesting mix of playful and pensive. he switches between a furrowed brow contemplating his surroundings like a wise old man, a full smile, and a half smile that is either a smurk or an impish grin. we are in trouble.week 2. during belly time, he picks up his head and looks from left to right. either belly time is not his favorite or he is a show off because he rolled from his belly to his back for the first time at ten days old.
week 3. he has not quite realized that his hands belong to him. as a result, mom and dad had to
stop lau
ghing before they could attend to his cries as he grabbed the back of his hair with a white knuckled fist. he has gained better eye coordination (usually, although we still have some crossed eyed moments), and can follow your hand or a persons face as it moves side to side or farther and closer to him.
week 4. at his one month appointment, his pediatrician told us that he is perfect. while i would have assumed the dr. said this to all new parents, after the door closed as she exited the exam room we overheard her tell the nurses, "he is just a perfect baby." we couldn't agree more.
week 5. he has started talking. well, ok, not talking, but verbalizing with something other than a cry. he smiles at daniel at the end of the day when he comes in from work. his smile is heart melting.
and for those gavin photo junkies, you can see more pictures here.
