Baby LaTour: Rockin' 14 Weeks

Well, another week goes by! Our little man is 14 weeks old. I couldn't decide which picture was the best (and someone wasn't being too cooperative when it came to smiling), so here are a few of our 14 week photo shoot:

I took quite a few entertaining videos this week:

It's been a crazy last 2 weeks. I think Gabriel is going through a growth spurt, plus he has a stuffy nose and slight cough. Poor guy! He has been eating like crazy, sleeping strangely during the day (sometimes not at all, sometimes cat naps, and sometimes long naps), and VERY cranky. Just ask his Grammy & Aunties who came to visit over the weekend! He was so "rude" to them - only wanted to be held by his parents! We captured one almost-in-tears moment with Auntie Debbie.

Auntie Deb also brought Gabriel a few gifts. Well, one, a Dumbo stuffed animal that plays "You are my sunshine," was from Evan. Here's a picture of Gabe in his new sneakers:

We've been trying to get Gabe accustomed to two daily naps (since he has only been doing 30 min here and there). This was the grin I got the first day I tried to get him to sleep at 4pm. He did eventually fall asleep for over an hour, and it worked out for several days straight, so it will be his new PM naptime for now.

Bathtime has been interesting. We had to stop the sling in the kitchen sink since Gabriel was getting too long for it. We tried out the Safety 1st brand bathtub that my mom's friend Barbara got us off our baby registry, but it turned out that the tub was just way too slippery for what I felt was safe (ironic given the brand name!), so I exchanged it for another brand tub that is MUCH better. It has a sling that fits his longer length and then has stoppers for the seats on each side so that he won't slide down once he's out of the sling. Oops for my original choice in tubs! Live & learn, I guess!
