Two Months


12 lbs. 11 oz.
23 in.

Gavin is in the 47th and 60th percentiles for height and weight, with a 97th percentile head! It's so big, the doctor measured it again to make sure, and then asked me to bring in Paul's head measurements at our next appointment (just for fun - there's nothing wrong).

He is sleeping very well, usually from 11pm - 5am and then back to sleep for a few more hours. He's taking lots of naps during the day, and is great about sleeping in his car seat or in my arms when we are out and about.

He smiles with his mouth wide open and melts all our hearts!

He has started talking to us with adorable little "coos" and "goos".

And apparently we named him well (his middle name is Paul), because absolutely everything about him reminds me of Paul. I have a feeling he will be Paul's little clone, but we'll have to wait and see. And I can definitely wait - we love having this little guy around!

What a blessing


We were so blessed to have a lot of family come for Gavin's blessing on August 3, 2014.
All of our immediate family, except for Ryan and Daniel, plus my Grandma Green made trips from South Carolina, Missouri, Texas, and Washington. We're so loved!

For the first time, we got all of my kids' cousins together:


I'm so grateful for the priesthood in my family, and for the beautiful blessing Paul was able to give to our little Gavin. And for these awesome guys:



I love these boys so much:
