Two months old!


Hehe! I love this picture above! He really was not happy with me. Check out the bib! So true!
Well Gabe is now over two months old and getting so big!
11 1/2 lbs.
23 inches long
Head: 39 inches
I had to work, so Aaron took Gabriel to this appointment. Which I was okay with, because I was not quite sure how I would handle the whole shot thing. Gabe did great considering all the shots. Aaron said he cried for ten seconds and then sucked on his paci. He is developing right on track! He has a really good strong neck, tracks, smiles, laughs, and this week he just started to hold on to toys and he discovered his hands. Luckily his shot did not cause too many problems. He did NOT get a fever (that was a big relief for me) and only woke up twice (usually sleeps through the night) that first night and then went back to normal.
Two day late Gabe had a developmental screening and turned on the charm for the ladies. The developmental preschool goes to all the daycares in town to do a screening for free. I did not realize that they can screen so young. He passed with flying colors and we found out we can do a free vision screening when he is six months old.
It is spring break this week and I am spending time at home with Gabe. This weekend we did surprise my mom with a visit-just for sunday afternoon. It was great. We showed up at church and Aaron and I sat in the pew that my parents typically occupy. My parents came in (Dale knew we were coming- good job keeping the secret!) and my mom saw someone sitting in the pew they normal sit at. She finally realized it was us and she just got the biggest smile on her face. Of course Gabe made sure to distract us all during the meeting with smiles and coos for grandma! We hung out till pretty late in the evening and then headed home to laramie. It was a short visit but fun.
I tried posting the cutest video of Gabriel cooing and smiling but the video did not want to upload, so I will try it later with Aarons help. I dont know what I am doing wrong. But here are some cute pictures in the meantime.




Tired of tummy time.
