Fun, fun, fun! Enjoy!


Gabriel's Arrival

Just in case you weren't able to be at the delivery (or just want a recap!) here is some footage from shortly after Gubby's arrival. December 11, 2009, 7 pounds, 4 ounces at 4:19pm.


Gabriel Noises

Mike decided to put Gubby in front of the mirror in his nursery and had been playing for several minutes before we got to video tape it-it's hilarious.


First Bath in Tub

Gabriel is 7 weeks old in this video-we've only been giving him one bath each week because it was going so poorly. We usually used two buckets of warm water, washed him down with soap and one bucket, then rinsed with the other-needless to say, it never ended well! We decided to try the bath tub we got from Eileen this time and it was wonderful!

I thought it also fitting to let everyone know we suffered two 'injuries' this past week-scratched cradle cap. Turns out it looks a LOT worse than it actually is but it was really awful-especially for mom! Additionally, our most recent weighing (at home) puts the Gubmeister at roughly 13 pounds...that's right, 13 pounds. He is 7 weeks and two days old and is already wearing clothing for 3 month olds. Oh, what fun!

I've already returned to work and am blessed to not start with a full case load. It will really aid in a seamless transition. Additionally-we've finally gotten a hold of breastfeeding (most times) and Gubby has taken a bottle at least three times with little issue (just a bit more gas than with nursing). Things are going lovely!
