So, my little mister, (mike’s too of course, he just doesn’t call him that) is getting so big. I’m going to put up some more pics soon too. I took him to his 4 month appointment last Friday. 4 months, can you believe it??? He weighed 14.14 lbs and was 27 inches long. That’s in the 97th percentile for his height. He’s gonna be tall like his daddy. He also about 2 weeks ago start to jabber a ton. He has the sweetest little voice and we love it when he shrieks at us. It is too funny. He’s also been laughing a lot. I love when I can make him do his full belly laugh not just a small chuckle. We are excited for his Grams and Papa to come out and visit next week and for Aunt Steph to be moving here so she can see him grow!

Our baby boy is two months old. He had his 2 month check up on Monday. We only had him get some of his immunizations. We decided to spread them out a bit as you never know how your kid will react as well as how they are tested all together. It was so sad to have him get a shot though. I hate when Gavin is hurting. He’s getting so big! He is 12 lbs 1 oz, 24 1/2 inches long. He’s 50 percentile in weight, 95 in height and 25 in head circumference. He’s such a tall little guy. The doctor said he looks healthy.
Nicole and I seem to have our roles in blogging, so I’m going to let her handle the touchy-feely stuff and I’ll point out the “other” things.
First, as we were sitting in the room watching Nicole’s contractions spike on the monitor while not spiking through Nicole’s body (thanks to modern drugs), we had a couple knock on the door asking if we would like to take the sacrament. They were from LDS services. They also asked if I would like to participate so I did. After we finished and the couple left, Nicole pointed out to me an interesting fact that I had overlooked – I had just blessed the sacrament while wearing a Metallica concert shirt. How’s that for water and oil? I thought it was pretty cool though.
Then there’s his birth date – 7/13/08 at 2:50 PM MST. It’s a pretty significant birth date for a few reasons: he has a great uncle who shares it, he was ‘implanted’ on Halloween and is fitting that he have a birthday that will fall on Friday the 13th every once in a while, 7 lbs 12 oz was his weight, 7 + 13 = 20 which was his length in inches, and 7 is considered to be a lucky number while 13 is considered to be an unlucky one so it fits both his parents pretty well, too. Those of you who know Nicole and I well will understand.
‘Nuff said.
Mike
