I love my daddy! He is so funny!

Love those baby blues...

8 months!

Time sure does fly by....hard to believe Gavin is already 8 months old! Here are some pictures and then an 8 month update. :)

sitting like such a big boy!

Precious face

I am 8 months!

Trying to stand up...



always ready to flash a smile. :)

 Since my 7th month update...Gavin has already gotten THREE teeth. The first two came in right after he turned 7 months...the bottom two front teeth. His top left tooth just popped through in the last week, and from what I can tell...the top right tooth is about to come through at any time. He isn't crawling yet, but he's still so close. Always getting up on his knees and rocking like he is about to take off at any moment. He's starting to pull up on things. He sits up great and can sit and play on the floor for hours on end entertaining himself. We've had quite a few instances of separation anxiety...and he definitely prefers his mommy and daddy over anyone else. :) He is still a great eater and we've even tried him on some stage 3 baby food. The stage 3 is more about texture so he's not as smooth as the stage 2. With his teeth that he's getting he can now stand to "chew" his food a bit. We've tried him on Cheerios which he really couldn't care less about....and we've tried the Gerber puffs, but he really isn't wild about those either. He LOVES his bottle and if he sees a bottle he will pitch a fit until you put it in his mouth. LOL. We just love our sweet baby and still can't believe he's 100% ours. Thank you God for blessing us so!

Happy 4th of July!

I'm thankful to live in a free country!!! Happy 4th of July everyone! Here are a couple pictures of our little cutie...and one picture of the local fireworks. We can see these every year from our front yard. :) Gotta love that!!!

Two teeth!

Our sweet little boy is growing up so fast! In just a couple weeks he will be 8 months old. He is SO close to crawling and you can now see he has 2 very prominent teeth. He is holding his own sippy cup and just looking so grown up!!! He's just the happiest child, we are so in love with him!!

The first tooth...

I made a little discovery today.....something white and sharp in Gavin's mouth...what's that?? His first tooth! If you look real close on the bottom you can see it. :)

7 months!

The day after our finalization was Gavin's 7th month mark! It's been an eventful week in the Oliver household (today is MY birthday...the celebration just continues!)
At 7 months Gavin is sitting up very well. He looks so cute sitting up on the floor playing with his toys, he looks like such a big boy! No teeth have popped out yet, but I'm pretty sure the first one is right around the corner. Gavin is trying really hard to crawl...he's up on all 4's and rocking a lot. I'm not quite sure I'm ready for him to be mobile yet! LOL! We've got some baby proofing to do around the house!
Gavin is such a happy baby, he laughs a lot. He definitely knows his mommy and daddy and is starting to reach out for us. We've started to have a few moments of separation anxiety when someone else holds him. He LOVES to jump. It's his favorite thing. Whether in the jumper or just holding him...those legs are always wanting to jump, it's really quite funny. He's a great sleeper and a great eater. We just can't say it enough, he's such a wonderful child. We are looking forward to all of the milestones that will be happening soon. The first crawling...the first words...the first steps. So honored to be this child's mommy!!!!!
