OH BABY! | selena sage

MONTHS FIVE AND SIX

Alexander was born to adventurers, so it’s only fitting that he should have an adventurous life! After a wonderful start in Italy, Alex entered his six month of life in a new continent with a few new passport stamps! ✈️💙

6 months old, at home, showing us some of the animals in his book 🥰❤️ (with two bottom teeth growing in!)

BIG adventure, moving from Italy back Santo Antão, Cabo Verde and moonbungalows.com ✈️ 🏝️ Alex was a travel pro! Unfazed by 4am airport transits and slept through both flights and the island ferry ⛴️! 💙 (However, his parents are beyond exhausted 😂)

Welcome Friends and Family!

I am excited to announce that Paolo and I are in Italy finalizing our marriage and have just welcomed our beautiful son, Alexander, into the world!

Though labor, fittingly, began during the last full super moon of the year, Alexander was born 6 December 2025 at 1:01pm, weighing in at 3.205 kg (7 lbs), 51 cm (20 in) in Ravenna, Italy. He was a Zen baby throughout pregnancy and is now a calm and loving presence in this world. Both Mommy and baby are well and have returned home (currently Lido di Pomposa, Italy), after the customary two night hospital stay following birth here in Italy, and are resting. We are so thankful!

Thanks to all who have asked about sending gifts for Alexander! However, the reality is that shipping to Italy is complicated and expensive (we also have to pay customs and taxes on items received). So, in lieu of traditional gifts, we welcome you to gift items we need, as you are able, using the payment links below. The registry gallery can be found at the bottom of the page.

You are welcome to let us know the item(s) you would like to gift us with your contribution, even if it’s not listed below. Thank you! We appreciate and love you!

Love,

Selena, Paolo, and Alexander

P.S. Post delivery photos are at the end 💙
