Our baby boy is one month old now. I can't even believe it. Today he had his doctor's appointment and is quickly on his way to the NFL, much to his daddy's delight. He is 23 inches long and 11 1/2 pounds. Our goal is now to get him to sleep through the night. Gideon is a very good baby. He is just starting to focus on objects. He smiles once in a while, but not at us yet...can't wait! He's big on eating and gets so excited, he usually swats his own bottle away with his flailing arms and then looks at us like WE took it. He grunts to get our attention and if he's really frustrated, his grunts turn into yelps...it's so cute!
Our Memorial Day ended with a game of Bocce Ball. Best story ever! We were throwing the balls against a tree ad a squirrel ran down and stopped a foot off the ground. We threw one more ball thinking it would scare him away and he actually jumped off the tree and chased it! It was HILARIOUS!!
Gideon thoroughly enjoyed himself as you can see.
One of the few pictures we have with his eyes open.
Our chubster chilling with mommy.
Ever seen a baby "Smoke" a bottle? Gideon takes feeding time seriously!
How Gideon travels in the car. Notice the curled toes...Seriously, our driving isn't THAT scary.
We love our little Gideon.

Oh it looks like the last month has been treating you guys well! He's so cute!
He is such a cute kid! He's changed so much! It's so funny...he's getting so big, but his legs are skinny! I guess it did take our kids a couple months to get the "Michelin Man" silhouette! :) I can't wait to meet him!
So I am a little slow but congrats!!! He is adorable! Looks like you are all settled into parenthood and probably pros by now! What a lucky boy to get you two as parents:]
What a sweetheart!
