13 week update!

9/9/2009 - Gabriel got his first shot! It was the DTaP shot and they put it in his left thigh. He was fussy anyways since I was holding him down in an awkward position and once they gave him the shot I put his pacifier in his mouth and in a few seconds he was fine as if nothing happened. I think he's a tough little man!

9/11/2009 - Matt, Gabriel and I were making our first trek as a family to Lakeland to see my family. In the car we noticed that Gabriel was reaching out and diliberately grabbing things! How exciting! We had never seen him do this before and since then he's been looking at his hands and holding his hands together as well. Once, I caught him taking his pacifier out of his mouth with his hand but he looked so lost because he couldn't figure out how to put it back in his mouth! Cuteness!

9/18/2009 - I went back to work and Gabriel went to his first full day at daycare. The quality of sleep he gets there is not at all like what he gets at home. I hope he adjusts soon! I'm pumping at work so he continues to get mommy's milk :).

9/20/2009 - First day back to church for our family (took us long enough!). Matt and I dropped him off at the infant nursery and I think he did really well. When we picked him up he was fast asleep in the worker's arms!

9/23/2009 - His first stuffy nose. I used the aspirator but it didn't seem to help much. It must not be that serious!

9/25/2009 - His first cocktail reception! I took him to an evening reception that I had to be at for work. He was such a little angel smiling and cooing at all the strangers. He makes my heart melt!!
