Top Heavy

This past week I had to take Gavin to the pediatrician because he had a rash all over his back. Thankfully it was nothing serious and cleared up in a few days. Since we were at the doctor's, they did his measurements and he is now in the 75th percentile for head circumference (17.1 inches) and height (26.8 inches), 50th percentile for weight at 16 pounds 14 ounces. So he is making progress with being able to roll from his back to his tummy and then back again. The doc said he will probably take a little longer to sit up on his own because his noggin is big right now! He's too top heavy to stay upright for long!!

We are using the Boppy pillow sometimes to practice sitting up - here is a progression of pics taken in about a ten second span. He smiles at me first, then is distracted by the phone taking pics, then is distracted by his toys nearby.

This is a very quick video of me tickling Gavin. Hard to hold the phone and record while also tickling him. Over the past few days he seems to have developed certain areas where he is ticklish now. He also anticipates being tickled which only adds to the fun!!

Last two pics for this post. Just thought it was so cute how he fell asleep clasping his hands together like this. And in the close-up you can see his eyelashes...they are so long! He definitely got those from his Daddy!!!
