Hey Feliciano Family! I realize it has been a while - and I cannot get over how beautiful Gabriel is! I am so emotional right now looking at all the pictures! I apologize for not keeping up with all the information - so much going on for you - and all seems like you two are hard at work to bring him home in an organized and careful manner. I cannot wait to meet him! I will make sure my kids are healthy when they come by - they are getting over various germs. Gen and Joel we wich you the best of everything. He is so precious and my goodness - give him a kiss from me!!!! As far as the grinding goes - keep giving him something else to bite - and just enforce the "do this"...instead comment. "No" is such a negative - and let me tell you - the kids learn that soon enough. Again - much love to all of you... Sots HE IS GORGEOUS!
