Gabriel turned 8 weeks old yesterday, and today marks our 1 week home. We've been thinking about how much can happen in a circle of the sun.
Gabriel had some morning awake time and some smiles, then a good nap. His Papa played piano-- a jazzy version of "Summertime." Mama got him out of bed to hold twice and near the window for sunset. And because he is a normal baby despite the vent, he still had a bit of a grumpy evening, but a little shorter than other days.
We have adjusted to being home slowly but surely, getting more used to his needs and the schedule of his cares. It's a balance between his care, Eleanor's exuberance and need for us, and our own needs. We've had to have some hard conversations lately. It's not easy. We are thankful for help from family, friends, and neighbors.
