I'm due for a REAL update...so here you go! These past weeks have been so much fun. I see more and more personality building in Gavin as he grows. And he seems to be taking in the world at an even more rapid pace now. He loves playing with toys, particularly if they are the right size to jam into his mouth and chew, hence the title of this post...drooling! It's like the faucet has been turned on over the past month, and I don't think it's getting turned off any time soon. His first tooth may not be far off. But then again, I've read that babies can drool, drool, drool for several months before cutting a tooth. I suppose we'll see soon. I'm okay with waiting on teeth for now!
So, Gavin's favorite things right now? Laying on the floor playing with toys and rolling to his side -- he's getting closer and closer to rolling from his back to belly. Not sure what he'll do once he gets onto his belly -- he's still not fond of tummy time. I think he really enjoys the freedom of playing on his back right now. He's also beginning to enjoy his bebePOD more now too. It's one of those funny looking seats that helps little ones sit upright. And he's still enjoying time in his play gym.
Gavin had his 4 month well-child appointment last week Friday. He is now 12 pounds 3 ounces and 24.5 inches long. Statistically, he is still in the tenth percentile for weight and 50th for length. So, he's tracking right along where he should be! Round two of vaccines went okay -- more crying than the first time. But he settled down with some post-shot lunch. We thought he might sleep the day away like he did with his first vaccines, but he really was just more of himself this time. Didn't seem to phase him as much. Developmentally, he's again meeting all of the expected milestones. I like these appointments; it's reassurance that we don't stink as parents. That our child is progressing like he should. Can't wait to go back for Gavin's 6 month appointment! It will be here before we know it!
Well, here are some pictures that pretty much sum up what I've typed. Enjoy!

bebePOD fun...such a determined face!
Almost rolling over. That darn shoulder gets in the way!
Chewing, sucking and drooling
We took a trip up to Traverse City for work. Brad and Gavin spent a couple of days hanging out while I worked. We, of course, hauled lots of baby gear up with us...but not all of it. So, Gavin didn't have all of his usual options for sitting. So, Brad let him experience the jogging stroller without the infant carrier, just to have a place to sit in the hotel. I think he liked it!
Relaxing on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay.
Our little Bulldog! (note the mass quantity of drool around his neck)
In fairness, he also has a GVSU onesie. We'll see which one gets more drool.
