Grandpa Mike and Grandma Coralie were here for a long weekend and Gregory really loved rocking on the porch with his Grandpa. Gregory has been more consistent with his sleeping, which makes our lives a lot easier. He also has developed the typical "fussy period" from about 5-9 in the evening where he is a little more difficult to console, but putting him in a wrap seems to help quite a bit. Holly loves her wrap, and is getting complements on it wherever we go. Dan still prefers the Baby Bjorn, but Gregory is not quite big enough for that yet. Starting in a week or so, we are going to try to introduce a bottle, so Dan can share in the feeding duties when needed. This will be important in August when we go to California for Holly's cousin's wedding, and Holly will not be able to nurse him during the wedding ceremony. We are planning to introduce the bottle gradually, to avoid any confusion.
We have been taking him to a few restaurants, trying to see if he can make it through an entire meal. For the most part, we have been able to get through a whole meal--at least one of us.
He is starting to develop some "baby acne", which usually shows up around 3 weeks or so, and lasts a few weeks. The Baby Book warned us not to get too used to his crystal clear complexion. We have been getting some good pictures during his awake period, and are learning how much we like our digital camera. Enjoy the pictures and we are trying to figure out how to post a video, so keep checking back.

Wonderful pictures Holly, thanks. He has changed so much already since he was born. He certainly is well-fed! With his strawberry blonde hair and light blue eyes, I'll bet some people will think you're the babysitter too! Now I have to figure out how to get actual photographs of some of these for my office and brag book. Any ideas? Love, Mom
