Almost 12 weeks old!

Our little baby boy isn't so little anymore!  At his two month check-up, he weighed in at 17.5 lbs!  To put this into perspective, Eliana at her 2 month check-up was 12 pounds and she was at the 95th percentile.  Gabriel's pediatrician didn't believe how much he weighed; she closed his file and reloaded it on her computer because she thought there was a mistake. 

Gabriel has definetely moved out of the infant phase and into the baby phase.  He has a definite sleeping pattern now and even though he is still feeding every 3 hours, we think that he might start going longer between feedings any time now.  If you go up to him and smile, he will smile right back and tries to talk to you.  He is also starting to grip things with his little hands.  And we think he will be a thumb-sucker.  He is already trying to put his fingers in his mouth to suck on and every once in a while, he is successful.  Just today his success rate increased dramatically!

His sisters are still very fond of him and give him plenty of attention. 

We hope your summer has gone well as we head into the autumn season!
