2 Months Old Already!!!

It's been a busy month! The biggest event this past month was the arrival of our nephew--Larson Mathias--on October 20th. Because of the length of the drive and the age of our sons, we haven't been able to meet Gabe's cousin yet. Thankfully, we will finally get to introduce the boys next weekend! I can hardly stand the wait!
I started back to work after Gabe was six weeks old; after 2 weeks of vacation, Peter started his new overnight job this past week. I don't know how he does it: working all night and then taking care of Gabriel during the day! But my boys started with a good routine--including Gabe sleeping in late. Praise God!
Gabe started sleeping through the night consistantly at 5 1/2 weeks old! He started to coo and social smile. He loves watching our pets and his surroundings. We've left him with babysitters a couple of times and even got a just mommy-daddy date night in! He has visited with both sets of grandparents and all his aunties. Gabriel has been sleeping in his room in his crib for a little over a week.
I finally bought a Baby's First Year Calendar and we are recording every new experience. Today was Gabe's first grocery shopping trip--Peter carried him in his Snugli (carrier) and our baby was fascinated by all he saw. It's such a precious time to experience all our boy's "Firsts".
Here is Gabriel's two month photo with his Teddy. He wasn't in a great mood that night, so we took these shots in between tears!
Tummy Time!! He is a strong boy--already rolling over from front to back and scooting across the blanket!
