Our little Gabe is going to be three weeks this Tuesday. I know, still young, but he's already growing so much! Two weeks ago I took him to the pediatrician and he weighed 5 pounds 15.2 ounces. Well, this past Friday, I took him again, and he is a whopping 7 pounds 2 ounces!! In one week! I couldn't believe it. Well, as most of you know that have had children, not much goes on during our days together. He sleeps, eats, and occasionally is awake so we can see his cute eyes. He doesn't cry too much, only when he's hungry (who wouldn't?).
We are very happy to have this little guy in our family, he's already a huge blessing for us. Even though I am sooo tired most of the time, I know that it only lasts so long ("this too shall pass" as my sis Tiffany pointed out to me), and to enjoy the time when they are small and cuddly. And I truly am trying to do that ... Alejandro has been very, very good about letting me sleep and taking over feeding and diaper duties. So, I am pretty blessed to have a husband who helps me out, or I would probably die! His mom is also here to help him out when I am sleeping, so he is getting some training.
Here are a few pictures of what he looks like and what he's been doing:

We went on our first outing to Idaho Falls. I sat in the back with him ... I kept on moving his head but it always ended up back like this. I am trying to find something that will keep his head up and support his neck. Any ideas?
After his bath, just hanging out with mom. He makes the cutest faces, but not usually when my camera is pointed at his face, or I can't catch it... darn it!
Trying to fall asleep in his swing. This really helps his tummy (he's been having gas lately).
Look at that tummy! The lactation specialist said they have these cute little bellies until they start to lose weight when they're toddlers. I love it and I always blow cherries on it -- cause I can!! :)

Ohhh...he is so dang cute! I am really sad I can't see him for probably a couple of months, so keep up the posts girl! Love you!
Both of our girls necks did that and someone finally told us to roll 2 of the swaddling blankets up and put them on each side of him to make the head rest fit around their little head tighter. IT doesn't look the cutest, but it worked great!!!
Thanks Shauna! I will try that cause his poor little neck looked so wrong like that! And I am going to update my blog as much as possible Stacie because more than half of our family hasn't seen Gabe yet!
roll a towel up and put it around his head like a hairband to support the bobblehead. such a sweet baby! are you nursing?
Tammy, he is such a beautiful little boy. What a fun time you are beginning. I wish you the best.
Sandee, yes I am nursing. I have a love/hate relationship with that too. No details on the blog :)
What a cute little guy! My little girl still sleeps with her neck all the way to one side. Crazy kids!
There is a thing called the Snuzzler that works great for head support. You can get them at Babies R Us. (Gay name, i know...but still works great!)
He is so adorable. You make such a great mom. Good luck with everything and keep posting pictures.
