Happy Month Day, Gabe!



Gabriel turns one month old today! I can't believe that he is already a month old, and at the same time, I feel like it has been longer than a month since his arrival.

Here are a few things that Peter and I have learned about Gabe in the last month:
1) He is a great eater! He gained over a pound in two weeks after leaving the hospital. (I'm not sure what he weighs now)
2) He is a noisy sleeper! He grunts and groans almost the entire night. He sleeps for about five hours straight, and then in two hour intervals the rest of the night.
3) He is a strong baby! Even in the hospital he tried to hold his head up on his own. Now when on his tummy, he can move his head from side to side.
4) He loves to snuggle and sleep on Mommy and Daddy's chests!
5) He has beautiful complexion...clear skin and pretty olive coloring.
5) He loves receiving kisses from Joshua, but also lets him know (by crying) if he doesn't want Joshua to bother him.
6) We love him so much as the new addition to our family!

Many people have asked us if Gabe looks like Joshua when he was born...here are their newborn pictures so you can decide for yourself!
