Catching Up with lots of pics

I have been pretty bad about updating lately, so here is a big one. Gabriel continues to grow big, and we are so in love with him. He now weighs 11lbs and 1/2 oz. We were having some problems with alot of fussiness, like he was in pain. It seemed he was always crying, and I noticed that he was spitting up all of the time, and he screamed when we lied him down flat. I called the doctor, and we found out that b/c he is a vigorous nurser, he has acid reflux. As soon as they put him on the medicine, it was like we had a new baby. It was so bad last week that I was up with him til 4am 3 nights last week. We are hoping that this will change things. He is in the 50th percentile for weight, and the 75th percentile for height. Exactly the same as Brendon.

Last week Lora and Colin came over along with my sisiter in law, Cookie, and her kids. It was definately a fun and wild day. Lora took some great pics of the kids and I posted them below.









For Easter, my parents invited us to the beach. Eric had to work, so I thought it would be a good break for him if I took the kids, and let him stay home and rest. We had a really good time with my mom, dad, and brother. The baby did really well with his first trip to the beach. We are going back down there in a couple of weeks. Brendon decided that he was not too old to dye Easter eggs or to do an easter egg hunt, so we did one. It was alot of fun. On Easter morning, we dyed eggs and hid them, while my parents prepared and Easter feast. It was a great day, but I was ready to get back home to my husband. We were gone for 5 days, and I got a little homesick. Brendon and Jason took lots of funny pictures, and here they are.

This morning Gabriel was cooing and smiling at me while he was in his bouncy seat. It is very hard to get a good smiley pic, but I managed to get a pretty good one.
