Its amazing how time flies. Gabriel is already 7 weeks old now and growing like a weed. Its so wonderful to see his personality emerging (as well as his toothless grin!).



This week our pediatritian even commented on how strong Gabriel is getting. He holds his head up on his own almost all the time now. He loves doing situps while holding onto our hands, and many times even pulls himself up to standing although he still needs lots of help balancing. Its so cute to watch, he is so focused and determined while working on these things; We can already tell he is going to be a tough cookie, and he'll do whatever he makes his mind up to do...gee, could that be hereditary?

Another of the joys of being new parents is having baby conversations with Gabriel. He is starting to make all kinds of talking sounds, testing out his mouth and tongue. Sometimes, if you didn't know how young he was, you might think he was already saying "Hi" and "Hello." Mostly he makes an "L" sound and then smiles wide as we react with praise. We are so blessed with Gabriel! He is truly our little angel.
