First Set of Shots...

Here is Big Sister Isabella "holding" baby Gabriel's socks during the examination.

Gabriel weighed 6.1 kilograms which is about 13.5 pounds!
His head measured 41 and body length was 50... is that right? Hmm, I'll have to review the video again.

Discovered His Hands

Gabriel discovered his hands taste very yummy...

He started baby-talking and blowing bubbles with his mouth.

I left Isabella in charge for a couple of minutes... and upon my return, this is what I found! Isabella introduced her baby brother to Tinkerbell.


Last week Gabriel saw his doctor for a check up.

Dim Sum with the Aunties

Gabriel spent the morning charming all of mommy's girlfriends over dim sum. All he had to do was was give a grin. They were all impress with his hair.

Doctor's Appointment


Gabriel visited Dr. Fienstadt for a check-up because he has been sick for a while now. Despite his cold, he is growing and putting on weight.

Two more weeks and he will get his first set of immunization...


In the video, the doctor puts Gabriel on the scale. This time, his legs were hanging off the edge of the scale. I remember when his little body fit on the scale with room to spare.

Growth and Development

At his six weeks checkup, the doctor informed us that his weight and height were in the 70th to 75th percentile.

Now, one week shy of two months, he has outgrown all his 0-3 months onesies. we can't even button up the diaper area anymore as he is really long. Thankfully, Gabriel received hand-me-downs from his wonderful cousins Luke, Ian and Alec. We are prepared for this growth spurt!

As for development, he has a strong grip, advance visual perceptions, and a strong kick. Gabriel does not like his diaper to be wet or dirty. He will kick and complain to let us know it is time for a diaper change.

At about seven weeks old, Gabriel had his first roll over. I left him lying on his left side and when I turned around, I saw him lying on his belly. Fortunately, he has strong head and neck control!!!

Gabriel enjoys sleeping and can sleep undisturbed for 5 hours. I tried waking him up for a feeding but he was not interested.
