Update

Hello Friends,

Well, I guess it is time for me to re-enter the world bit by bit, and today that means updating this blog.

Levi is 7 weeks old today, and the time as utterly just flown by. I go back to work in 2 weeks, and am not looking forward to it. I am so in love this beautiful boy that the desire of my heart is to just stay home, be his mom, be a wife, and work on my artwork. No such luck though.

In the last 7 weeks:
* we have had a steady flow of family members, which has been both a huge help but also a little stressful at times.
* Levi is now a completely different baby. He has put on 3 lbs, and is just about the most adorable porker ever.
* Levi follows objects with his eyes, is beginning to use his arms more intentionally (although he has not yet discovered that they actually belong to him), smiles all the time, interacts with people's facial expressions, and coo's and ahh's in response to prompting from Pablo and I. He is incredibly smart -- we know it! :)

As for me, I have committed to next summer setting up a booth at some summer arts and crafts fesitvals and selling things I have created. That means that I have 1 year to build up an inventory of a couple of products that I have come up with and am super excited about. Granted, as I have researched what it will take to make 1 of these ideas, it is definitely not as easy as I had thought, so there are some obstacles in my future that will need to be tackled, but as of right now, I am super excited about the possibility of selling things that I have created. I think it is a great goal for myself.

Well, that is about all that I have time/energy to do for now. I know that it is a little bland, but now that you are caught up, I will most likely post shorter but more interesting updates about the day-to-day happenings.

I know that Pablo and others have flooded facebook with an obnoxious number of photos of our son, but below are some of my favorites that I have had the pleasure of snapping with my phone.

Here he is sleeping with his Papa at only 2 weeks oldThe proud parents:


Here he is starting to smile -- don't worry, it is way cuter now, complete with a dimple on the right cheek, but I haven't caught it in a photo yet. Thanks to Luz for the onesie :)


Poor guy is starting to loose his hair... :) he's still pretty cute though.


I know this is kind of a random photo, but it shows you that while he does weigh 10 lbs and is already wearing his 3 month clothes, he is still so freaking tiny!!


More to come soon enough.
