Mike's Parents Visit

Mike's family came to visit us for the last week and Gabriel got to meet his Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Dani for the first time.  They were a great help, they made us a lot of meals and helped finish up some painting in the bathroom.  We didn't really do anything other than hang out around the house, but I think they were plenty happy with that since it gave them lots of time to spend with their first grandson.  Gabriel really enjoyed all the attention and got spoiled being held all the time!  Below are some pictures from their visit.

4 Weeks Old

Well, it's been busy since leaving the hospital, but we feel like we are getting into a bit of routine at home.  Gabriel turned 4 weeks old yesterday and is catching up for lost time.  He gained 13 ounces in the past week and is now 8 lbs. 3.5 oz.  He had a follow up appointment at Children's Hospital on Thursday and his incision is mildly infected.  It's a good thing that he loves his cherry flavored antibiotics :)  
He actually gets to go an entire week without having to see the doctor!  This week he will definitely be spoiled since Grandma and Grandpa Carpenter and Aunt Dani are coming to visit.  Maybe with visitors around we will remember to take more pictures!
