Laughing & new flavors!

!

5 months old














































Gaven is now 5 months old. He is sitting up on his own, eating new solids (i.e. sweet potatoes) and riding in a stroller without the infant seat. He also reaches for anything we are eating, including pizza crusts. I think this kid really enjoys his food!
Gaven needs some cool shades like Riley's - she's such a movie star.

First cereal! (videos)
















Our doctor gave us the go ahead to start cereal at Gaven's four month visit. He seems to enjoy the novelty of eating from a spoon. We now understand why you need so many bibs!

Watch out Vern!
































Gaven is now very interested in the pets. He's reaching out to touch them all the time. He loves to take a handful of Vern's hair and pull. Fortunately, Vern is much more tolerant of the defurring than we expected. They are sure to be good buddies very soon.

Gaven and Riley

Gaven and Riley spend their days together with our nanny Jane Howard. Riley is two months older than Gaven so she is teaching him new things all the time. Gaven is fascinated with Riley and spends his days watching her every move. It's really fun to see them together and great for Gaven to have a "pseudo-sibling".
