Newest grandchild

One of the best parts of Thanksgiving where family gathers together is to meet the littlest ones in the clan. This time it was Gavin Loveridge's turn to be oohed and aahed over.

Now six months old he is already starting on solid food because he's much too hungry to be pacified with just his mother's milk. As you can see, he loves his food but tends to wear as much as he eats. The supplement of solid food has extended his sleeping time so that he has recently slept through the night.

Another favorite activity is his bath. Daddy Philip is bathing him here in a tub that just fits the sink. Gavin giggles and laughs when his daddy finds his foot or knee hidden under the water.

When I took the previous picture he looked up as if to say, "Make sure all the pictures are decent so you can show them at family gatherings when I'm sixteen!"

After he's bathed and dressed for bed, Gavin enjoys a little snuggle time with Grandpa. He's attentive enough already that I can read a book to him or play peek a boo.

We took this the next day when he was all dressed to go out and celebrate Thanksgiving or help Grandma decorate the house for Christmas. Love his instructional t-shirt.
