Meal time has variety

Since birth Gavin has known only one type of food, breast milk. Now he is a seasoned connoisseur of a whole smorgasbord of delicacies. Starting with the always nasty (I mean tasty) squash, of course he doesn't know it is nasty. Heidi has also introduced him to sweat potato and banana. They are mix to a constancy that could be compared to a milkshake. He really likes to help with the spoon, but I think he just wants to eat the spoon. He does get this “rice cereal” every so often, but it looks like the infamous “grits”.

Well tomorrow marks the first weekend since Heidi has started back to work. We are going to celebrate by sleeping in and being lazy.

Finish Uploading Old Pics

I have uploaded all the old photos (minus one or two of Heidi) to Flickr. You can view our photo album by clicking here. Sometime by this weekend I'll post a bunch of new photos for your enjoyment. I switched to Flickr since it an easy way to manage my pictures of him that I was sharing with the whole world. Also you can do a lot of things with Flickr that I wasn't able to do before. Check it out.

v2.0 is out

Well I slaved over the computer most of the night to get this up and running. At this point I'll have to stop till tomorrow to fix the little things. Please do check back over the next few days since I plan on putting a whole slew of updates (photos and a video of Gavin). The older post from v1.0 will be posted sometime this weekend.

You can now leave comments of the photos and updates that we post. And I have made it easier for Heidi to post comments. So I am really excite to be able to change the site this way. Let me know what you think.

Trip to UVa today

We went to doctor today up at UVa and the outlook was good. We decided (with agreement of the doctor) to not have the procedure on Gavin down next month. We will continue to give him antibiotic until he is a year old. If he gets another UTI then we will go back to the doctor. Heidi and I were both relieved to have it go smoothly for Gavin.

Hey just testing the connection between Flickr and the website. Tomorrow I'll move the rest of the photos over and since I have my laptop back I can post all the new photos of the little guy. So for now you'll have to be content with the few I have already uploaded.

Back to Work

We are establishing a new pattern for day to day. I drop him off in the mornings and Heidi picks him up in the afternoons. I think he is on the brink of crawling. Those knees get under him and he somehow moves across the floor. It isn't graceful but if you aren't watching he'll move a couple of feet before you know it. I still haven't got my laptop back, need to check on that so I can throw so pictures up.
I also have something new in the works.

Tooth Monster on the loose

Gavin has his first teeth. Maybe I'll snap a photo of his toothy smile. He has been doing well, the fevers have gone. I suspect that his teething cause the fevers, but I'm not a doctor. Heidi starts back to school next week, so our summer schedule will come to an end. I'll be dropping him off in the mornings and she'll pick him up in the afternoon. My laptop is in the shop, so once it is back I'll post a good chunk of pictures. Sorry for the gap in post, I'll try to keep you guys up-to-date.
