4 months

Yesterday, Gabriel was four months old. It's bizarre - it feels like he has been with us for an incredibly long time, but when you actually count, it hasn't even been 125 days. So it may be true indeed: Babies grow fast. In the last two weeks, Gabriel grew by 0.5 cm to 66.5 cm, and he got heavier by 300 g, so that he weighs now 7.3 kg.
One moment last week that made me realize just how much he has changed was when I looked for a desktop wallpaper for my new laptop (which I recieved after long wait; the University of Montreal is not the most efficient place when it comes to ordering. I was very much reminded of the process by this comic). On my old laptop, I still have the picture of little Gabriel asleep on Michelle's shoulder that I posted a while ago.

For the new laptop, I chose this picture:

It's not only his looks that have changed, but also the way he interacts with the world. Here's a video from when he was one day old:

And here's Gabriel's speech on the occasion of his 4-month "anniversary" (featuring Michelle):
