Real Quick...

I have to write down what Brody did at the Dr's office today.
I took Gavin in for his 6 month well check- I'll put up his stats later. Ah, heck! I'll do it now...

He weighs 16 pounds = 40%
Length... I don't have the paper in front of me but I know it's 55%
head... no paper, but it was about 15 % (I think?)

(Now I have my papers in front of me... height: 26.5 inches. Weight: 16.5 lbs. head: 16.5 in)

See why i wanted to do this later? But, see why I did it now?
Are you confused?

Anyway, Brody had to get his flu shot (and HIB) and a wart burned off. Needless to say, it was NOT a pleasant experience. Brody cried for about an hour because of his wart- poor guy. He cried because he got 2 shots (that makes 3 total in the last 2 days- we got our swine flu shots yesterday! YAHOO! I stood in line, in the snow, for 2 1/2 hours. I didn't mind at all. My mom, Bobby, and the boys made good company!) Gavin got 4 shots today, equaling to be 5 in the last 2 days.

So, as we were in the room waiting, Brody got in the drawer and pulled out some latex gloves. I put them on him! (I wasn't about to put gloves back to be used on someone else!) He thought they were pretty cool. I was holding Gavin on my lap and Brody decided to put his hands on Gavin's head and start to pray. (Bobby gave both of them blessings the morning of getting the swine flu vaccine) Brody always says the same prayer..

"heavenly father, thank you for this day, thank you for the food, bless daddy be safe, in the name... Jesus Christ... amen."

So, as he put his hands on Gavin, he began this prayer- I wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to do, so I just put his hands down and started asking him about when daddy gave him a blessing. Brody tried to do it one more time, then ended up taking his gloves off. Sweet boy!

Gavin's Blessing

Bobby gave Gavin a wonderful blessing on Sunday, July 5, 2009. We had lots of family and a few close friends at Church with us, and then we all met for lunch afterwards at my parents house. (Thanks mom!!) I am so thankful for Gavin. He is such a sweet, happy baby! (He laughed for the first time on Wed. July 8!! Bobby got him to laugh, of course! He absolutely loves his daddy!) Check out how studly Mr. Brody looks- his hand is in his pocket and he has a huge grin! I love this picture! (My honey looks hot, too!!)

Here are a few pictures from this special day!

(I have more, but these are the ones my mom took... I haven't uploaded mine yet.)

Mommy and Gavin in his "blessing" outfit. (Our Bishop called it a "quasi-suit" haha! Gavin was blessed along with 2 baby girls- so his outfit stood out among the pretty dresses. There aren't many boy blessing outfits to choose from! :) He looked adorable!

Julianne and Bracken, (my SIL and BIL) with Gavin. Julianne is pregnant with Triplets!! When my mom took this picture she said "A picture of one baby on three babies!"

cute kiddies!

Taking a nap after lunch! Bobby and Brody ended up sleeping on the couch for a couple of hours while my Mom, Gavin, and I sat out back on the rocking chairs and talked. It was a fun, relaxing day!
