Gavin Enjoys Walking the Dogs





Hi All, 
Here's the latest with Gavin.  First of all, he got the cutest jacket from his Uncle Jonny and Auntie Sara so check it out in the pics.  Also lately Gavin likes to hold on to the dog's leash and help when we go for our walks.  The dogs are pretty good about humoring him for a while and they basically stay out of his way.  Of course, when it's time to really hit the road and start movin' Frodo doesn't want to mess around with Gavin's slower pace.  So, yesterday we put Gavin in the backpack and had him hold the leash from there.  We got a lot of smiles from passersby as we strolled down the street.  
Also, some great news for those of you who have been following our lack of sleep saga for the past 11 months.  I hesitate to say much but... for the past week Gavin has consistently slept from 7:00 until 5:00!  He usually wakes up once at 11:00 or so and acts like he's disoriented, cries a little.  It takes a minute to go in and snuggle him and give him his pacifier and then he's right back to sleep.  He's also napping great!  At 5am I can give him a bottle in bed and he goes back to sleep for a couple of hours!!!  So now it's my goal to make that my time to get up and go to the gym or get other things done.  I used to love to wake up early before everyone else and go to the gym or have a long bath with a book.  It's just been so long since I've had a normal night's sleep that this was just not pleasant sounding at all to me!  So, I'll try to get back into it now that Gavin is doing better sleeping (it only took 11 months! but we do love his energy!)
Enjoy the pictures!
