Just a little update…

July 29, 2016 //  by Rachel Kent//  29 Comments

Blogger: Rachel Kent

I know some of you already know this, but I had my baby boy on June 25. He’s now a month old and is such a delight.

I’m out camping today, so I thought it would be a good day to share a picture of him since I won’t be around to comment on your thoughts. Have a wonderful weekend!

Here is Gavin!

Brand new: 8 lbs. 9 oz. 21 inches long.Β IMG_2111

 

And 1 month! 12 lbs. 5 oz. and 22 inches long.

    Ha ha! I remember camping with babies! We just set up the play pen inside the tent for the baby and had the other boys sleep in sleeping bags. Very exciting. And what a cutie. Have a wonderful time Rachel.

    Wow! Your family is sure growing. When I met you, you were ‘single’. I love his name. My ‘baby’ brother is called Gavin. What a blessing children are.
