Today Gideon is 5 days old. It’s hard to believe it’s only been five days…because he’s been kissed hundreds of times, peeked at, poked at, loved on and been called “a little cutie” (by Hannah) sooooo many times already! All of Gideon’s siblings instantly loved him which is so fun to watch!

Yesterday Gideon saw our pediatrician. He’s maintaining his weight really well - still nine pounds exactly! He passed his check up with flying colors. Dr. Jambura (jokingly, of course) said he’s a physical prodigy. Most four day old babies can’t hold their head up for a sit up - but I guess Gideon is super buff!

He’s very happy that milk has arrived and it’s helping him to sleep longer stretches (well, at least a bit!) and he’s very content when he’s awake. We’ve heard over and over that people think he looks just like Gabe as a baby. I’ll do a separate post comparing their pictures - we think it’s pretty amazing!

We’ve been able to get out a couple of times. Outings to Burger King, a ladies Bible study today, and Carl’s Jr. to get some energy out! He was absolutely perfect each time - slept through the whole thing.

Oh, and to add to the chaos…our little man Gabe turned THREE on Tuesday the 20th! By God’s grace we had enough energy to throw a family party for him at our house that evening. Gabe was very aware that it was his big day so we’re glad we could celebrate! He was thrilled with all the attention and blessed by all the generous gifts!

I updated our Picasa family photo album with current photos. We’ll put a slide show on the blog when we get a second. Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us and bringing meals! My mom has been so good to us: stocking our house with groceries, cleaning our house, doing laundry, playing with the kids, letting mama nap and taking good care of us! Another awesome thing - Ryan has been able to be home with us this week which has been the greatest! I can never get enough of Ryan…same for the kiddos!
