Getting Into the Swing of Things...

Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile since I have updated our blog and a lot has happened since my last entry. We are all doing very well and I have finally returned back to work. Gavin is doing very well, he is enjoying his special one on one time with Nana and his Nanny, Rene. Gavin is growing like a weed and he wakes up everyone morning with a great, big smile on his face. He is cooing and laughing most of the day (except for when he is really hungry and waiting to eat). :o)

Today we took Gavin to Maymont park to see the two black bears and all of the wildlife at the park. He seemed to enjoy most of it...however, he spent most of the time asleep and simply enjoying being outdoors. We have also figured out that he now has a favorite book for bedtime which is Pajama Time...he really lights up when we read the book to him. It's probably because I end up singing the book to him which makes him laugh; probably because there is absolutely no danger of me winning American Idol anytime soon with my singing skills. And, Tim is the ultimate burper (I mean when it comes to burping Gavin) he is so proud of his skills. Gavin definitely loves his Daddy and when he looks up at Tim, he has a huge smile on his face and loves to coo.

Tomorrow Gavin will be 3 months old exactly and time definitely flies by. It seems like just yesterday we will bringing our little guy home from the hospital. He is now about 13 pounds and getting longer every day it seems! He is an amazing little boy! In the next couple of weeks we are going to take Gavin to a couple of Halloween celebrations and he will be able to participate too...he has his own costume which we can't wait to put on him. (o.k...I am probably the only one who cannot wait to put the costume on him) Gavin is going to be the "Little Stinker" a.k.a. a baby skunk. Stay tuned for those pictures...they will definitely be a hoot!

Love,
The Makelys
Melissa, Tim, & Gavin
