Day 15


We had visitors today! Lori, Tyler & Brant came to visit. We were so glad to see them. We can't wait for the day that Gavin is old enough to keep up with Brant. They are going to make great playmates.

Gavin Day 11


Back to real photos tomorrow... unless you can consider iPhone pics "real." This is Gavin "trying" to sleep... I tried to tell him it works better when you actually close your eyes but he won't listen.

Gavin had a fun filled day of shopping with Mommy, Nana, and Auntie Amanda! He was a trooper and didn't fuss at all. I guess he better get used to it because Mommy loves to shop. Aaron is shooting a wedding all day and left me in charge of posting for the day. These pictures came straight from the iphone!

Sleepy Gavin Day 7


Sleepy Gavin Day 7, originally uploaded by www.GainComposure.com.

Todays blog post is brought to you by SLEEP. I snapped this one right before I left to go take some sports candids this afternoon. Gavin slept almost all afternoon, along with Brittany and I. Thanks to Brittany's sister Amanda for watching him while we got some extra sleep!

Today Gavin is one week old today! He's getting old!

Gavin Day 6

Gavin Day 6

Today we took Gavin for his second doctors visit.
Little boy's definitely been eating well!
Gavin weighed 6lb 8oz when he was born. When we left the hospital he had dropped to 6lb 1oz. The next day he jumped to 6lb 2oz at his first doc visit. Today he weighed in at 6lb 9oz! He gained 7oz in only a couple days! The doctor said he was really impressed and that Gavin looked great over all. Looks like we've got a real healthy boy on our hands. Praise the Lord!

Gavin 5 Days Old


Gavin 5 Days Old, originally uploaded by www.GainComposure.com.

Gavin is 5 days old. It also happens to be my birthday. We got to spend some quality time at home just the three of us. Brittany and I set up a background and lights to create a small studio in our living room and with the help of my mother-in-law in the roll of warmer and distracter we got some great images. This one stuck out to me because he's only 5 days old he can already hold his head up and keep it there for a good bit. At least long enough for me to snap this photo. He looks so funny and old. It amazes me how much of a personality babies can have being only days old. Below are a few others from todays mini photo shoot!

Day 3 Gavin


Day 3 Gavin, originally uploaded by www.GainComposure.com.

Today was awesome! After a long first night at home, Gavin was finally eating great and got plenty of sleep. We spent most of the day with family and friends visiting. I got this shoot with the help of mom and my sister holding a white sheet about 3 feet above Gavin. I bounced my speedlight off of the sheet.

Gavin & Daniel

We chose my dad's first name as Gavin's middle name. The Kohns family has a rich heritage of Godly men and I pray that I would set an example for Gavin just as my Dad did for me. This one's to you Dad!

He's here!

I just love this shot! Brittany's reaction after seeing Gavin for the first time!



Yesterday I posted a video. I'm not sure if you all can see it? The internet at the hospital is a little weird with the stuff they block.

Once we get home from the hospital we will try to get a bunch of photos up and have a complete birth store posted by Brittany.

Today we spent time visiting with friends and family! Gavin has been amazing at nursing, finding a unquenchable thirst towards the end of the day.

Posting from the iphone! A little test for when we are at the hospital.

Gavin's room is waiting and ready! We are headed to the hospital tomorrow. Brittany is going to be induced because our doctor doesn't want her to go overdue because of the strain on Brittany's back. We are still suspecting that Gavin may be breeched but I guess we will see in the morning.

Paint

Brittany painted these awesome canvases for Gavin's room, accompanied by handmade items off Etsy (like the owls in the previous post) and the bedding made by my Mom, Gavin has a fantastic and unique nursery! Now if only he'd show up to occupy it!

We visited the doctor today and Brittany is still between 2-3cm dilated so we may have some time left to wait. This week has brought irregular contractions to the tune of 3-5 most days with the occasional day without any contractions at all. I guess you all must continue to stick to using your imagination to picture what he looks like.
