DIY Baby Wrap

Much more comfortable than what we can buy, much cheaper, and much happier baby too! Although you can't tell from this picture! It does take a while though, but it's super easy! DIY on http://www.flickr.com/photos/manueb/sets/72157603905311287/

Besides bananas and apples. Here comes the first sweet potato, made in a french blender, supposed to keep all the vitamins and nutrients in. I was super excited to try it, its very simple and makes plenty of food in no time. Freeze it in ice cube trays to make portions and voila!

Gabe's first movie: 'Juno'

Forgot to say that Gabe and I went to the movies together for the first time yesterday! We were at the Alamo which has several "baby days" a week, what an awesome idea! Although now I realize I've been missing out on 5 months of good movies, if only I had known before... whatever!
Gabe loved it so we're planning on going again very soon :)

Feb 6 - AustinMamas2007 Paydate

We had a very nice brunch at Tiphini's today where moms got to chill while boys were playing on the floor. Gabe and Clay played together, although as Gabe is the youngest of the group, he's just mostly laying there on the floor for now. Clay kept hugging him and exchanging the one same toy with Gabe, I thought it was extremely cute :)
Good times, hurray for mimosas and stay-at-home moms!
:P

The weather has been so nice lately. Fortunately, it stayed nice this last weekend, which allowed Shad to enjoy playing outside with our little chubby buddy.. :)

Awesome! Gabe loves Justin (i.e. doens't cry when Justin holds him). He housesat and babysat for us while we were out having dinner at Wink, first romantic date in 5 months. My god that was good, we pretty much had the best stuff on the menu: seared foie gras with figs, buffalo tartare, duck confit and their awesome dessert trio (never miss on the "El Rey" chocolate cake). 3 days later, Amy watched Gabe during the day while we saw "Cloverfield"... but apparently he cried "2/3 of the time" oh well, it will pass!

Someone is extremely happy to spend some wintery Austin outdoorsy time! It's pretty much 80 right now - although it's not going to last I am sure. Gives us time to hang out in the back yard (finally) and read some good french litterature: Le Petit Spirou, one of my own faves :P
