Scooting

Gavin is becoming such a big boy these days! He is sleeping through the night every night! Mommy and Daddy love this! He's also starting to scoot, army-crawl!!! I don't know if I'm ready for this! He just started this yesterday with Daddy at home while mommy was at work! But I did get to see it tonight and I'm sharing it with you all now!

Pumpkin Patch

Jesse and I took Gavin to Roca Berry Farm to the pumpkin patch on the most beautiful fall day ever! We saw some goats, miniture donkeys (or whatever they are), chickens and lots of pumpkins! Gavin had his first hayrack ride and rode it like a champ! Wish I would have more pictures to post here but someone forgot the memory stick to the camera in the computer after posting pictures to the blog! Don't know who that would be! Oops! We were a little disappointed but did pick out a big pumpkin and a few little ones! This is the only picture from my phone but turned out so cute! Gavin was so happy!

Avery Jean

Gavin has another girlfriend! Avery Jean Hengelfelt was born September 7th at 4 lbs. 14 oz. He better be careful, she's a tiny one! He is like a giant compared to her as he now weighs in at 21 lbs 7 oz and is 28 3/4 inches tall. Wow! No wonder he's so hard for me to carry in his infant carrier.

Chillaxin in my Husker gear and enjoying knawing on the binky

Gavin has been eating like such a big boy trying all kinds of vegetables! Here he is eating peas and I think sweet potatoes! Yummy! The funniest was the green beans! He didn't know what to think! Too bad I don't have video of that!

Last few months....

Jesse, Gavin and I went to the fair to check it out for the last time in Lincoln! I guess now we will have to travel to Grand Island to see the "great" attractions! :) We checked out the animals for Gavin and he got a little scared in the bird pavillion. Too many loud birds for him! We also looked at the newborn animals in the birthing pavillion and saw some baby goats, piglets, lambs and chicks! They were so cute! The lambs looked so cuddly! Gavin has so much fun and was such a good boy that day!

New firetruck gear

Gavin recently got some new firetruck gear thanks to Gymboree! Yay! He looks so cute and it is only fitting! We got his 6 month pictures also taken in this stocking hat! He's a very active boy these days and is sitting up with a little assistance so he doesn't fall over! Rolling all over the place to get wherever he wants to go! Not sure that I want him to crawl anytime soon! Still need to baby proof the house!

6 months old

Gavin is 6 months old and becoming such a big boy! He loves green beans and carrots and rice cereal of course! He has been sleeping through the night except for the last couple nights since the his 6 month check up on Thursday! He woke up with a high fever that night then since Saturday has had a fever and a nasty cough. Poor guy! So, the last few nights have been very rough on us when he coughs when he lays down and wakes himself up. But otherwise, growing well! At his check up, he was 21 pounds 7 ounces and 28 3/4 inches long! 97th percentile for height and 95th for weight! Gavin is rolling over all the time to get to what he wants and will sit up for a short period with his hands on his legs or floor. Soon he will be doing it all by himself! I can't believe he is 6 months old already!

Great grandparents

Cousin Andre, Aunt Jennifer, cousin Levi and Aunt Kasi

Great papa and Grandma Rader

Gavin and his crazy cousins

Gavin recently visited Great grandma and great papa Rader with cousins Andre and Levi. He had so much fun seeing them. We even mangaged to capture a few good pictures to prove it! He was able to show off his rolling skills! We love

going to great grandmas house because she cooks us yummy food! Gavin will someday get to enjoy this food!

This past weekend Gavin and Mommy went to grandma joyce and papa dan's house so that Mommy could go out for a little bit! Well, Gavin decided that was not going to happen and would not go to sleep, so needless to say, Mommy did not get to go out. This goes to show Gavin is not always an angel.

Andre and him decided to give us a few laughs before we went home for the night. Andre wanted to hold Gavin so we set him in his lap. Papa Dan was making funny noises to get his attention for this picture because Andre also wanted a picture of this. Andre decided he was going to try to get Gavin's attention by making the crazy sounds and waving his hands in the air like papa. It was hilarious! Wish I would have had the video camera for this one. But here's the picture that I took instead!

Doesn't he look sleepy? Little stinker! Grandma said he must have known mommy was going to leave and didn't want her to.
