Wow

Where to start?

Gavin's 14 months old today! Hes walking, attempting to talk, eating big people food, and just all around amazing. I am so surprised sometimes at how big he is and to imagine that he is the proud owner of two parents that are in constant awe of him. He has a total of 5 teeth right now and is currently trying to cut another one. 3 on top, 2 on bottom. WOW! Teething has been such a trying adventure for all of us. Sometimes spiking a fever with them, other just extremly fussy and tempermental. All of which has been a new learning curve for all of us.

Garren is simply a joy to have. In the beginning he was having a hard time with holding formula down and we quickly had to switch him over to Enfamily A.R. Lipil, which has rice starch added to it so that he can keep it down. Before the switch, we would feel him a bottle and he would immediatly projectial it back at us. Pooy guy, broke our hearts to see this, but thats why they have all these great formulas for those little tummies that just dont know how to digest it. Its amazing at how much head control this lil guy has as well. I mean, he literally is holding his head up and moving it around in every way possible! He is doing pretty well during the night, he wakes up only 2 or 3 times. Its still exhausting for us to get up and adjust seeing that Gavin was sleeping through the night with 1 bottle around 2 since he was 2 weeks old.

Well, thats all for now. I have to head off to take the boys to the dr. I will write more later. I have loads to spill!
