Welcome to Gabriel Dylan Casebolt's blog. With family so far away, we decided there would be no better way to keep everyone up to date with Gabriel's milestones and growth than by starting this blog. Please addt his website to your "Favorites" link and check back whenever you can. I have no idea how often we will update, but I guess that will depend on Gabriel himself. :0) We will also post periodic photos here, but for the majority of pictures please see our website at www.casebolt.com/stacey.

Gabriel is now 4 weeks old and one day! At his one month appointment he weighed in at 8lbs 11oz, and measured 21 3/4 inches long. He is still such a tiny little guy, but the pediatritian was happy with his growth, as long as he keeps it up. At his two week appointment he weighed only 7lbs 8oz, so we have made great improvements.

Gabriel is so fun to watch, as he is already lifting his head up high on his own and looking around with very big greenish eyes, and he already seems to have the legs of an athlete! He's a strong little man! He still spends most of his days asleep on mommy's chest or in a sling on mommy's shoulder, but his waking hours are slowly increasing...we can only hope that means he'll begin sleeping better at night too! Mommy and Daddy are just completely captivated by this little guy! Our favorite time of day with him is first thing in the morning when we bring him into bed with us to wake up. Watching him stretch and sigh and squint to wake up. His morning routine seems to have more Casebolt than Bottoms in it for sure!

We can't wait for you all to meet him in person, but until then hopefully you can feel a little closer to him through this blog! Take care!
