Two days with Gabriela

Hi everyone!

The first two days have been GREAT! The first night was a little bit rough, I´m sure because Gabriela was over-tired, over-stimulated, and in a strange place with strange people. Last night, however, she slept for 11 hours with only a couple of hiccups. She is a calm, happy baby and so much fun! Her smile just melts us. Yesterday we went to see Gabriela´s cousin Ana Sofia. Ana Sofia is 2 months younger than Gabby and they are very cute together. Tomorrow they have a swim date.

Yesterday we took Gabby to the pediatrician for her first check-up (with us, at least). The doctor said she appears to be very healthy, very alert, and right on track. That is how we found out that she weighs much less than we thought - over 1 kg less, or about 2.5 pounds. She did not particularly like going to the doctor, but she did pretty well. She fell asleep on me on the way out, slept through the car ride, and took an hour nap when we got home.

We will try to post photos soon - the connection is REALLY slow and we have to use someone else´s computer so we may not be able to post photos as often as we´d like. We hope everything is going well at home. Please kiss the puppies for us - we miss them!

Leslie, Daniel, and Gabriela!
