Boston Family Visit

Faith's family came from Indiana for a visit last week.  We had a great time and Gabriel enjoyed being spoiled by Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Jenna.  He got to be held all the time!  He started smiling a lot too.  Usually he smiles at the pictures behind the couch, but sometimes he will smile at us! 
Since Grandpa is so handy, he helped Mike out with a lot of projects around the house while he was here.  Curtains were hung in the nursery, the closet door was fixed, flowers were planted, and the biggest project was putting in a new sink, faucet, garbage disposal, and a brand new dishwasher.  We haven't had a dishwasher since we moved to this house, so it was really, really nice to use it for the first time!  
Gabriel got to enjoy a few outings with the family as well.  We went to dinner a few times, Costco, and shopping with the girls at the outlet mall.  He got the most clothes out of the shopping trip!  
Gabe also had his 2 month check up (at 7 weeks) and got 3 vaccines.  His legs were sore for about a day, but he was very good when they gave him the vaccines.  He was diagnosed with acid reflux about 2 weeks ago and is on daily medication until he grows out of it.  He weighs 10 lbs now and is 22 1/2 inches long.  He is finally growing out of the newborn clothing :)  
Here are some pictures.
