8 weeks

well, i have not written anything in quite some time. being a mama is beyond a full-time job and it's so hard to find the time to accomplish simple things i took for granted not so long ago....

pasquale is now 8 weeks and becoming a ton of fun. he spends a lot of time smiling and laughing (as you can see from all the videos). he has discovered his hands are mighty tasty, constantly cramming them in his mouth. he is working hard on finding the thumb consistently.

he is a sweet baby. he loves people and they seem to love him. the weather will be nicer this week, so we will be able to adventure out more than usual. he enjoys hikes in forest park and the outdoors in general.

baby stuff

it's crazy how much cute baby stuff is out there nowadays!

i like to look at etsy for groovy handmade stuff like these adorable western shirts made by a woman in Austin - Ramonster. I just bought little Pasquale a cute sun hat from her for his big trip to visit the family in sunny Florida.
