Orlando, FL Manuel Family: 4 weeks old and 1 month old on Friday!

I can't believe that she is 4 weeks old, the time is flying by. I don't even feel like I've been away from the office for that long. Days are filled with diaper changes and sometimes outfit changes, assessing her needs and trying to get some additional sleep. We are still working on some pictures too!

I want to say "Thank you" to everyone who has sent well wishes and gifts. We are truly a blessed family with so many friends and relatives to welcome Christina into the world.

Ruel celebrated his 39th birthday on Saturday, August 15th. Mom and Dad Sandridge marked the occasion by taking us out to Joe's Crab Shack, a popular seafood restaurant that is close by. We forgot how loud the music can be in there.

Christina is blooming with health, for which we are both very grateful (and yes, those lungs work just fine!). For the most part she is good baby with only occasional bouts of temper. We noticed today for the first time that she is starting to track sounds and lights. I'm excited b/c that means we are going to have some fun with toys this Christmas.

Here are some pictures from the last week.
