365:229 - Gabriel is 3 months old!

365:229

Ugh! I love this baby! Gabriel turned 3 months old on the 16th and it has been some of the sweetest 3 months. Gabriel is such a cuddler and lover. I actually call him my "love" and "lovey." He's just so lovable and brightens our lives with his sweet, full-faced smile! Gabriel loves milk (like every other baby), sleeps through the night (~11-12 hours), babbles and blows bubbles, loves face timing grandma and grandpa, and hates his carseat. I think he may be starting to teethe because he drools a ton and chews on his hands. Maybe for his 4 month update, he'll have teeth to report. :)

Unfortunately, I didn't catch a smile for these shots, but I promise, he smiles all the time ;)

This day, again, I did not capture a photo. However, I did get a video on the iPad that I found to be super adorable!

365:197 - Gabriel is two months old!

365:197

Gabriel, what a hunk! This little guy is bringing his family so much joy these days, especially his mama! He has been giving us all such sweet smiles and coos and is a pretty content baby. At this point, he is sleeping between 7 and 9 hours a night, eats about 6 times a day, and is our most flexible baby yet (I guess the third baby kinda needs to be, huh?) Gabriel is definitely not scheduled as strictly as his brothers were and finds himself being rocked to sleep MUCH more than his brothers were. I'm enjoying the snuggles :) 

Gabriel went in for his two months appointment and is 15lbs, 3oz and is 24 inches long! Big boy!

Gabriel turned one month old today! He is such a sweetheart and he has already stolen our hearts! He really is a piece of sunshine in our days :) He is a great eater and great sleeper. He is more alert now, but still sleeps SO much! He still has a newborn look but is starting to chunk up a little. We are so excited to see how he grows and changes!

Praise the LORD for our sweet friend Miss Lauren! She has taken the boys numerous times since we brought Gabriel home to play with and show love and attention to! The boys have been showing lots of signs of needing attention and Lauren has done a pretty good job at loving them during this transition. We are super thankful for her and her sweet spirit and love for the boys!

This evening pictured was also Gabriel's first bath at home :)

Our first night home went really well! Benjamin slept and ate great. Don't worry, y'all! We don't keep the elephant in his bed while he's sleeping. Joshua just placed Elephant in there for the photo :)

This is a shot of me with our doctor, Dr. Francis Yuan! We love her! I started seeing her early on in the pregnancy and found that I really liked her and respected her opinion when it came to prenatal medicine! Also early on in the pregnancy, we decided that I would be induced early which also allowed for Dr. Yuan to deliver Gabriel which was SUCH a blessing! Thankful for great doctors!

This was the most precious moment when my older boys met their younger brother! I didn't get a great photo of Benjamin meeting Gabriel, but they will come, I'm sure :) Samuel just ADORES his baby brother and loves to gently touch him. I am so blessed with these beautiful boys!

Today I did my last load of baby laundry (well, a friend practically did it) before Gabriel arrives on Friday and put them away in the drawer! I also finished packing my hospital bag besides last minute things (i.e. phone charger, camera, camera batteries, computer, computer charger, wedding ring, blanket - this note is for myself :)) This bag is the one I bought specifically to use as my hospital bag for when Samuel was born… sweet memories!

Tomorrow is our last day as a family of 4, Lord willing!
