Another week went by
Wow ... how time flies. Yesterday, Gabe turned three weeks. He is growing up so fast. At the last checkup (on Thursday), he weighed 5 lbs 12 oz. The previous Saturday he was only 5 lbs 5 oz. So by Christmas, he may be 6 lbs.
He is much more alert now. He probably doesn't see much more than general shapes and shades but he looks at things - especially our faces - with his big gray eyes as if he were studying them.
Jojo and Reilly have adjusted well to Gabe. Reilly is pretty oblivious to Gabe. She is just as happy go lucky as ever. Jojo, on the other hand, is very aware of Gabe. Initally, he was very interested - he wanted to look at and smell Gabe. We were a bit worried about what he may do, but he didn't display any agression and, as days went by, he became more laid back and comfortable with Gabe. However, he still needs and demands attention. But as long as he knows he is still loved, he is OK. He does bark when we talk to Gabe, though. Not sure if he does so becuase he is jealous or because he thinks there is a stanger in the house.
Posted are two videos. The one with his boppy I took on December 8, when he was one week old. The other one, in his crib, I took yesterday.
