Big news!

Gabriel slept for 7 hours straight last night! We're so proud! And SO happy! He's been in his crib in his own room since week 4. But he was waking up at 2 and 5 am to eat. Last night he slept for 7 hours straight and then went back to sleep for more so we could sleep in a little more! It was such a blessing! We're using the Babywise technique and we absolutely love it. He's really doing well on getting a routine. He still needs to take longer naps, he's only napping for like 45 minutes... they should be more like 1 hour and a half... so we're praying. But we're so glad to get 7 hours of sleep last night in a row for the first time since Gabriel was born! YAY!

Bubble baby and beach trip!

We went to the beach this weekend with our friends Sam and Jennifer. Sam is the bassist in our band, he's also from Guatemala and his wife is also American. We had a super time! This is Gabriel's super cute shirt just for our day in Seaside. It was a blast. He really liked it... cant you tell?

Gabriel loves to get his face washed! He always just sits so still and smiles and laughs and starts to fall asleep whenever I was it. So I took a couple pictures of how cute he is with his bubbles on his face.

He's really starting to smile even more. When we talk to him or show him a toy, he smiles big! We love it. He's responding to much to our voices and to music. We have a little musician on our hands! YAY!

The adventures of Gabriel

Isnt he getting big? We cant believe he's 5 weeks old! It's just amazing!

In these pictures, Gabriel got to try his first french fry .. JUST KIDDING! He'll never eat those awful things, but Rick thought it would be funny to pretend! :-)

We had Uncle G.B's birthday party last night and Gabriel got to see his cousins Mayson and Lane. Lane absolutely loves Gabriel! He hugs him and kisses him and just always gives him "loves". It's so much fun! The other pictures are of Gabriel when he was supposed to be taking his nap, but he thought it was play time instead!

The first pictures are of Gabriel's new outfit, its his Rocker outfit. It has cute little music notes and things on it. We have band practice tonight, so he's going to show up in style!

Gabriel's Dedication!

We dedicated Gabriel to the Lord this Sunday, on mother's day! It was wonderful, such a blessing. It was a beautiful service! Afterwards we all went to the Nunez house for a big BBQ! It was so fun! We had grandpa's flank steak and plenty of carne asada, and of course my mom's Greek pasta salad, and dad's baked beans, and grandma's devilled eggs! YUM! We had a blast with the whole family from both sides! What a blessing it was! Here are just a few pictures of the dedication. There are more to come, but they are being put onto a CD for me from the person who took pictures on Sunday. So here's what we have so far! The video is to come too!

Its may already! Gabriel is 3 weeks old!

This is the new blanket that my Grandpa Gary made me on his loom. Isn't it cool?

We cant believe Gabriel is already 3 weeks old! He's growing so much! He went to the doctor on Monday and he weighs 8lbs 8oz! He gained almost 2 lbs in just over 2 weeks. I guess we know he's eating well and I have nothing to worry about with breastfeeding! Such a blessing! Here's some great pictures of his growth so far!
