Merry Christmas, Happy New year and The trip to Orlando
Sorry it has been so long!! We have been so busy that i am just not on my computer enough!! Well we had a wonderful Christmas and Gavin got many wonderful gifts. Because of his delays he can't play with most of them but they are waiting on him and we are working to get him to his toys!!!
We spent Christmas eve with Brandon's family and it was great!! Gavin played with his cousins and stayed up late like a true Bailey!!! On Christmas day we drove to Chicago and spent Christmas with my dad's side of the family!! We had tons of fun and My God son Colin was just In love with Gavin and was a great helper!! ( Christmas photos to come they are on a different camera that i left with my mom on accident)
For new years we stayed down town Indy with Brandon's family and had a blast!! He made it past midnight, and we discovered that he is starting to get an I tooth ( Incisor according to Brandon) so it explains alot of the not happy moments. On New years day we left for Orlando Fla. Gavin was a great travler, he has a little frog thing that plays music on his carrier that we are now sick of the song that it plays but he loved it the whole way there and back. While in Fla. we went to Coco Beach and universal Studios. Gavin took his first trip to the pool and started to fall asleep cause the water was like bath water. at Coco beach ,Gavin Loved the sand and i think he would have eaten all that sand if he could have ( Linz the shirt is so True). He also Took a nice nap on the beach. At universal Brandon and I kinda had a date day, My mom took Gavin around to all the kiddy stuff and enjoyed just relaxing and taking everything in. She and Gavin got her picture taken with some of the Simpson's! Brandon and I had a great time and it was really nice to be a kid again and then come back to Gavins great smiles!!!
Driving to Fla. Brandon and I got tired so we let gavin drive he loved it!!

Making progress!!!
For those of you who read about his devolpmental delays it is good to know that if u keep doing things over and over they really do kinda get it. He is getting better at the grasping which is what he was at a 2 month level. He holds a blankie now, and can even hold his bottle ,but not for the whole feeding but it is a start!! He also still doesn't sleep through the night, blah for me, but last night he went 8 hrs between bottles!!! about 6 of that was sleeping so i got to sleep about 5 hrs in a row!!! That is so rare haha!!!
( I know that isn't holding it i just can't find that picture, but it is cute anyway)
So with the holidays coming around, my favorite part is here.... Cookies and decorating the cookies!!! I have about a weeks worth of baking to do and about 2 days worth of decorating sugar cookies and Ginger bread men!!! I know it sounds like a lot but I LOVE IT!!!! If anyone wants some let me know!!!!

HO HO HO!!
We went and saw Santa, And Gavin had been smiling just 15 min. before and then we got there and he decided that he was just going to stare at everything else in the room and not want to smile at all! It is better then crying though.

5 months
The Big Boy is now five months. 16.6 lbs and still 24 in.
Can't believe how time flys. We are still working on some stages that he hasn't hit that he should. But we are getting there and that is part of him being born early his mind wants to do what his body isn't ready to do yet. Just put us in ur prayers. Him being delayed on some things is really hard on me right now, I know he will catch up, Just have to take it one day at a time!!
Can you find Gavin?
Christmas Smiles!!!
And the Great use of the bumbo !!!! Never thought she could fit in it!!

Gavins Developmental Follow up
The Hospital that Gavin was born at has a program where they track the progress of the preemies and watch for developmental delays and then tell you how to bring them up to the stage they need to be or if you need to go to a specialists they well catch it earlier then a dr would.
Well Gavin's chronological ge is 4 3/4 months, but his corrected age ( what he should have been) is 3 1/2 months.
He is doing great growing, His head size is in the 90th percentiles, his weight (16.4 lbs) is in the 75th percentiles and his size (24 in.) is in the 25th percentiles. It looks like he got cursed with being short like me. We can hope not.
His reflexes are at a 5 month level, grasping is at a 2 month level, visual motor skills is at 4 months. his expressions are at 3 months and comprehension is at 3 months.
Over all he is doing really well, Just have to work on using our arms and holding things. He is doing Great and now we are just waiting for Christmas!!
