Bubble Butt

My mother-in-law gave me a bunch of cloth diapers in case I run out of disposables or want to "save money". Well we used up the pack of disposables on Sunday morning so I figured we could try the cloth ones. For the life of me I don't know why anyone in with any reasoning skills would willingly use cloth diapers. They are time consuming and a huge pain to put on, you actually spend more money on energy and water because you have to clean them, and it scares me using sharp pins so close to baby's belly. Worst of all, it makes baby look like he has a huge bubble butt!

Shots!

A few days ago Gabriel got his shots. He hated them of course-who enjoys having 5 needles jabbed into their thighs? At least he got some cool band aids. Needless to say that evening was not very fun for us and especially for Gabie. He'd fall asleep and then two minutes later would wake up screaming. We finally gave him some baby Tylenol (which we should have done before the shots) and he calmed right down and slept through the whole entire night!
Along with getting his shots at the peds appointment, Gabriel got his routine weighing and measuring. He is now 24 1/2 inches and 13lbs 8 oz...which puts him in 90th percentile for height and weight! No wonder his 0-3 month clothes don't fit. He is such a big, cute, and happy baby boy!

Gabiesounds

Gabriel is now two months old! His hair has started to grow back (not blond but that's okay). Gabie has recently discovered that he has vocal chords. He can't say any real words yet of course, but he sure likes to babble and make a lot of funny sounds!

Going Bald

Gabriel is one month old today! And all of his hair is falling out. Hopefully some more hair will grow in its place (I'm hoping it will be blonde hair!)

Gabriel's First Easter

With Gabriel's birth so close to Easter, we had the opportunity to celebrate Easter with family. Here are some pics from Easter weekend. I love taking pictures of Gabriel!

Video of Gabriel

A quick video of Gabriel's awake time. General conference in the background, lol.

New Baby Gabriel

Gabriel was born on March 31st at 9:11 am. He shares a birthday with daddy! He weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and is a long little guy: 21 and 1/4 inches! I was induced the day before around noon and Gabriel took his sweet time coming out but overall it was a happy and relatively comfortable birth. Gabriel is very healthy and I am recovering just fine. Erik and I are still adjusting to having a baby in the house but we are loving every minute of being with Gabriel!
