I've been trying to teach Gavin how to eat with a spoon on his own lately. The other day I made mush and I was trying to help him eat with his spoon. Gavin did not want me to help or even touch the spoon. He was so frustrated that he couldn't do it on his own but was determined to do so. I had to leave the room to tend to Owen, but when I came back, Gavin had the bowl in his hand slurping the mush down. I can just imagine him saying in his little head, "Forget the spoon! It's easier eating straight from the bowl." Surprisingly he ate most of the mush and didn't make too big of a mess.

Owen is getting stronger day by day. He is now supporting himself in a sitting position. I was able to snap a picture of his first time doing this. Owen loves to bounce and move all over the place. It's hard to hold him because he will not hold still. He doesn't stay on his back long if I set him down because he instantly rolls over to his tummy. He always has to be moving and loves all the attention he can get.

Love the blog!! Your boys are both so cute! And I have to say that I LOVE the name Gavin! What exactly does MUSH consist of?

Seeing this made my day at work so much better. Gavin always has this mischievous grin in pictures that is so adorable. I love seeing the boy's smiling faces. I can't believe how strong Owen is, just like you when we were babies.

Your Blog is adorable, I absolutely LOVED it and I loved even more seeing you and the boys. For how much the pictures are great there is nothing like being together in person. These blogs will have to do while we are all scattered across the way. Give those boys a big hug and kiss from me....
