Purpose of this blog

This blog is a showcase for the still developing talents of Gabriel Mark Balzotti, otherwise known as Gabe the Babe. He joined us on November 2, 2007 at 12:22 AM, weighing in at 7 pounds 13 ounces and measuring 21 1/2 inches.
So far he has mastered sleeping,


pooping (not pictured for your benefit),
eating (not pictured for my benefit),
and smiling.
He is still working on rolling over,

standing,

and Spanish.
The last two with the help of his Aunt Krista.

He is also growing. At his two month check-up on January 4th he weighed 11 pounds 14 ounces and measured 23 and 3/4 inches.

We enjoy watching him learn and grow and we hope you will too.

As the grandmother of this beautiful boy I must comment that he is just perfect right down to the dimple! I think he may already know Spanish but just can't get us to understand him because he has an Italian accent.
