Gavin is 6 months

My little guy is growing up so fast! I know every parent says that about their children, but I am serious! He is rolling all over the place. He can sit up by himself. I don't even have to put pillows around him. He is a whopping 19 pounds. I figured he would be bigger, but he is still big. My favorite thing about Gavin right now is how he holds onto me like a monkey. He can wrap those chubby legs and arms around me and it is like he is holding on for dear life. It is the cutest thing ever. He smiles so easily and has a wonderful laugh. He still spits up like crazy, and he even makes a grossed out face becuase he doesn't like to spit up any more than I don't like him spitting up. He can drink from a straw. And a cup. He doesn't really care for baby food but wants whatever we are eating, except he still doesnt know how to eat solids any bigger than about 1/2 the size of a pea.He can pick up very small things off the carpet and get them to his mouth. He has crawled once, but couldn't duplicate it. If you put him on the ground on his tummy, he gets up on his hands and toes with his bum high in the air. He is being like a normal baby, not like any of my children have ever been before. He rolls. My other children didn't roll until after they crawled. He is up on all fours at six months. My earliest to do that was 9 months. He is one of a kind and I am so in love.
