07-7-2009 - eight months old

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

8 months old already...makes me wanna cry. i miss having a newborn...yikes. i think i'm starting baby fever.

gavin is doing awesome. he's eating like a champ. he eats cereal and 4-5oz in the morning, then he has veggies and 4-5oz for lunch, fruit and chicken or turkey and 4-5oz for dinner and about 7 to 8oz for bed. we think he's close to 20 pounds, so he does eat very well! :) also...i've gave him certain foods we eat and overall he liked it all besides avacados. he was not pleased at all with me. lol what are you ladies feeding your babies except breast milk/ formula and baby food. i wanna expand his food choices now esp that he had 2 teeth and more coming! i heard baby pasta is good and cheerios...but cheerios make me nervous. lol i think he might choke...am i crazy?

gavin does push ups lol there is a pic in my pictures if you ladies wanna see. it's actually pretty funny. he does it all the time. he's our buff lil man! he's starting to crawl...a little late because i know alot of babies start this early but every baby is diffrent and i never crawled when i was a baby so i'm not worried. he will also walk if we hold his hands which i love. sitting...hes got down really good. rolling over the same. no probs there. climbing up...i'm worried about this. he has started doing this and is makes me nervous because he thinks he will be ok until he falls and screams!

sleep? ugh this seems to always be a problem at the geegan household! lol he sleeps fine through the nite now but he fights to go to sleep soo much. he will cry and cry and cry. so we just leave him and he plays and then just turns over and goes to sleep, but sometimes it isn't till 10pm or 11pm and i feel like he isn't getting enough sleep because he wakes up at 6 or 7am! naps are fine, about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. 2 naps a day. he goes down fairly easily...no more rocking with naps or to go to sleep for the nite...i just lay down with him then when he falls asleep i put him in his crib. he won't fall asleep by himself yet. i dunno if he ever will. :/ i just pray someday SOON sleep will be easy, but i'm dreaming. lol

his baptism is july 26th! we got him a very cute outfit. i will post pics as soon as i can. 65- 70 ppl are expected! a lot...but i love big parties so i am pretty excited.

oh and a lil aout myself....i'm happy to say i've lost 10 pounds! :) i wanna lose 40 total. i was 180 and wanna weigh about 140. before gavin i was 160 and wasnt too comfortable. i actually started working out hardcore to lose weight and then i foud out i was pregnant. i gained sooo much freakin weight with him its insane to even think about! i dont care about looking like a model anymore because i am a mom now but i just wanna be comfortable in my own skin. so i got 30 pounds to go! wish me luck ladies!!

hope all you ladies are doing well with your babies! baby dust to those to are pregnant or trying! :)
