2 weeks

Yesterday, Gabriel was two weeks old. Comparing pictures, it does look like he has changed a bit:

It's not only the way he looks, though. He is much more awake, has recently started to make noises other than crying, and has added to his repertoire of expressions.

Michelle and Gabriel have figured out breastfeeding very well by now, whether Gabriel is in front of Michelle, on her side, or lying next to her. Only when he's really hungry he sometimes doesn't have the patience to latch on properly.
He also sleeps regularly for 5-6 hours during the night, followed by another 4, so that we are not too tired. The one thing I could do without is the fear of being peed on when I change him, but as I still remember from my cousin who peed over his dad's tie right before we left for the baptism, I know that I have to be patient. At least I've always some tissue at hand, and I'm getting much faster at moving out of the wet zone.
All in all, though, my former coworker was right when he told me that kids get cuter by the day, even when they start off at a very high level.
