Toothies Update

Gavin OFFICIALLY has 3 teeth now. I was cleaning his teeth/gums & felt the tooth on his upper right side. It is officially here. The left side tooth doesn't look very far behind either, so he will soon have 4 teeth. He is growing up so fast!

TOOTHIES UPDATE - Gavin's 4th tooth popped through on 1/1/10! My baby has 4 teethies!

Christmas Eve

Mike & I both had Christmas Eve off so we slept in as much as Gavin would let us, we got ourselves ready for the day, finished our last minute Stocking Stuffing & Gift Wrapping before the big day & headed off to Mike's Sister's house. On our way up there we stopped at In & Out Burger! YUM! I loved it! Anywho, then we were off again up the Mountain to spend Christmas with Family. Here are some pictures we took heading up Provo Canyon. It was a BEAUTIFUL day!

We had a great Dinner with Mike's Family. We played Guitar Hero, Karaoke Revolution & Mario Kart. Then it was time to open presents. Gavin LOVED opening presents & even more loved playing with his great gifts that he got from Grandma Wallenberg.

Here are some other pictures of the night!

A New Tradition

This Year we went to see the Lights at Thanksgiving Point. It is an AWESOME drive through light display for Christmas Time. I forgot my camera to take my pictures, but they had some AMAZING displays. I would suggest everyone check it out. We have decided that we are going to make it a new Family Christmas Tradition (as long as we are still in Utah &/or driving distance) The best part of the display was at the end they had boards with "The Christmas Story" with the Star & the Shepard's & the baby Jesus. It was a great night & we can't wait to do it again next year!

9 Months

I am still not getting any better at this Monthly post. At least I haven't given up! It should have been my 1st one today, instead of the last post of the day! Oh well, here's hoping I remember all the new things for this month! If not, I will add later.


First off - His 9 month stats!

17 lbs 7 oz

27.25 Inches long

17.25 Head

I don't have the %tiles right now so I will get them later & post them! Now, for the FUN stuff.

*We have moved his crib down now so he can start trying to stand in there anytime now!

*He has found his "down there" area. We had a little issue with his "down there" area at his 9 month appointment, but it has been taken care of.

*He is starting more & more each day to like tummy time & try to get on his knees to move. Hopefully he will crawl soon.

*He is still a blubbering fool!

*He now reaches for people.

*He LOVES food, all of a sudden & will eat & eat & eat whatever you feed him!

*He rolls from his back to his belly to his back again like he has been doing it forever.

*He still likes his jumperoo, but would rather sit on the floor & play with his toys or scoot to the tree to take ornaments off.

*He HATES getting into his car seat, but as soon as he is strapped in, he is fine.

*His bedtime is now bath at 7, eating at 7:30 & bed by 8, & he still sleeps until 5:45 when it is time to feed before I go to work! It has made for a more pleasant baby at night.

*He is a dancing fool. We will play music & he will just move his whole body! It is super cute.

*He kinda waves at people, but I think it is to get your attention to pick him up because he kinda waves & then reaches up for you to pick me up!

*Most the time when we take pictures of him lately he looks so drugged up or extremely tired in them! I think that is why I haven't been taking a lot of pictures of him...SAD. That is a new years resolution!

*He has started eating those puffy fruit things by himself now!

*It looks like he still has a clogged tear duct in his right eye, so we have gotten a referral from our pediatrician to a Pediatric Opthamoligist. I will keep you all updated on how that goes & what happens.

I can't believe how big he is & how fast he is growing! We love our little monkey!

Here are some pictures of our Wallenberg Group Family Photo Shoot! It was a great time & we got some great pictures. Hopefully we won't have to wait another 25+ years to get another group family photo! Enjoy!

Family Pictures

This post has been a LONG TIME COMING! Here you go...our most favorite Family Pictures we took a month & a half ago. Thanks again Ashley! They are great Family memories!

Santa

We took Gavin to see Santa last night. It was a very interesting night. We haven't ever been to see Santa as Gavin is our 1st child, so we didn't know if you would have to pay to see Santa & if we could just take our own pictures or have to spend a fortune on their pictures. We got to South Towne Mall at 7 & waited in the what was fairly short line to see Santa. As soon as we got to the line, we took Gavin out of his Car Seat & he stunk SO BAD! We checked him because lately he has just been gassy & not poopy, but sure enough he was poopy. We stayed in line for about 10 minutes & moved about halfway though the line before we decided we really need to change him because he stunk! We left the diaper bag out in the car, so Mike took Gavin out there to change his diaper really quick. By that time we had got up to the "Tracking Station" & there was a sign that said they request that we don't take any pictures with our personal cameras or camera phones. We looked at the package & all we really wanted was something we could put on the computer so that we could save it for the future. This is where the divine intervention comes into place. By the time we got up to see Santa, there camera was broken & Santa being a kind loving soul he is, told his little photographer helpers to let everyone know & if they had their own camera to let them come through to use it! AHAHAHAH!!! We were in HEAVEN!! We saved $20! Santa was super nice & loved Gavin & I think Gavin liked him too! Enjoy the picture of Gavin's 1st Christmas year!
