2 months already??

Gavin is two months old today.

Not to sound cliche or anything but OMG where has the time gone????? I noticed this morning (as I was getting ready and Gavin was crying so Mr. S brought him into the bathroom to see me) that he's really looking a lot more like his daddy. He's also getting bigger, which is to be expected especially given how much he eats: he's now 12 lbs, 4 oz and 23.5 inches long. You can really see how he's filled out in his face (look at those cheeks!!).

I've entered the realm of trying to balance work and family and I'm getting used to it. Next week Mr. S and I both go back to work and Gavin starts day care so that will be yet another adjustment for our little family. I'm dreading dropping him off on Monday but I'm excited about the opportunities day care will bring to our little guy. He'll learn that the world doesn't revolve around him (no matter what Mommy and Daddy say). He'll be exposed to other kids and learn how to make friends and share and all that from stuff before he even knows what toys are! Speaking of exposure, he'll also be exposed to germs early-on, which will build up his immunity (like being exposed to whatever our dog brings in isn't enough I guess). This particular day care is in-home so there won't be a billion other kids but there will be 2 other toddlers and 1 other baby. And since the provider has been doing this for over 10 years (is state-licensed) she's well-equipped to deal with the craziness. I'll keep you posted on how well Gavin does with day care; seeing as how he's still so young, I don't anticipate too many problems other than the typical adjustment stuff.

Now, on to what y'all really want, the PICTURES!! There are more on Mr. S' flickr account...
