Getting in the Christmas Spirit

We've been trying to get in the Christmas spirit around our house. I've caught a few pics of Sebastian in his santa hat and our friend, Sarah Kingree, sent me a few from his Christmas session. I am really excited about this Christmas as Sebastian will get to enjoy it so much more now that he can walk & talk! Hope everyone is getting into their Christmas spririt - Happy Holidays!

One Year Checkup

Today was Sebastian's one year checkup and (dum dum dum) immunizations. Dr Dye was backed up with patients this afternoon so we waitly quietly in the waiting room. Sebastian was a very good boy and the most well-behaved munchkin there. I was so proud. Sebastian finally got a room and we got weighed and measured. Sebastian weighs in at 24lbs, down a pound from our last visit and 31 1/2" tall, which is a whole inch more than last time. He is a healthy little kiddo. Sebastian strutted his stuff all over Dr. Dye's office, but yet as soon as he hits the floor at home...down on his hands and knees he goes....

Here's Sebastian and Dr. Dye during his exam


















Anyway, he took his shots like a little man. The first one he puckered up but calmed down quickly, the 2nd was a little worse, but the third was a little hard to take. He looked at me as if to say, "What the hell are you letting them do to me?". He got a sucker afterwards, so all was well with the world again. We headed down to the lab and Sebastian trotted around all over like it was a huge playground until they called him for his lead screening. He was royally pissed at April, who was the lab tech (she went to school with Mommy) and the sticker she tried to give him was no concilation. He was very upset over the finger prick and he cried and jabbered on all the way out to the car. The lady in the lobby said that was saddest sob story she ever heard. Really it was...he told anyone that would listen about how torturous they are and would hold up his bandaged finger for proof.

On a lighter note, Sebastian was playing in the floor with his Daddy last night and Daddy sneezed really loud. It startled Sebastian a little and he jumped but then he about fell over in the floor laughing at him. It was so hilarious. Then David starting fake sneezing and Sebastian would just laugh hysterical. I caught part of it on video, but by then he was getting bored with Daddy's fake sneezing, but here it is...

Happy Halloween

Today was a very busy day for Sebastian. He had his Halloween party at daycare, then he came home and had to party again, because apparently, the mayor of Campbell has the authority to move Halloween to whatever day he so chooses and HE says we have to celebrate Halloween today. (I'll skip the "my opinion" portion of the blog, but note the sarcasm in that comment!) Anyway, here are some pics from Sebastian's fun-filled Halloween.

Rise and Shine! Starting the day out with some static and a smile...

All the daycare kids brought their costumes today and everyone brought treats and had fun. After Ms Kristal and Ms Stephanie got everyone in their costumes, they got to go trick or treat the neighbor who was already prepared with some treat bags that Ms Kristal had made for the kids.

Sebastian was asleep before we ever made it home from daycare and he slept for over an hour once we got home. Just getting in some beauty sleep before tackling the costume again.

After he finally woke after (with a few kisses from Mommy to help motivate him) he had supper and got all dressed up again for some fun with all those cousins. Here are some pics of the whole gang! Darth Vader (Tristin), Motocross Racer (Tyler), Jadeybug Ladybug (Jayden), Fifi the Poodle (Kinlee), Deer Hunter (Dyson) and a little Skeleton (Therron) and of course, the cutest little Monkey ever (Sebastian)!

Laundry Day

Here's a few pics of Sebastian helping do laundry this afternoon. He's such a good helper!!!

Just checkin' for some piggy bank money...

Just chillin' on the dryer...
A little fun with Daddy after all that hard work!

Sebastian Turns ONE!!!

Yesterday was Sebastian's first birthday. Although we already had a big birthday bash at the BYM, we had to have a little birthday fun at Ms Kristal's daycare. I brought in chocolate cupcakes with blue icing for all the little kiddos. Some did a pretty good job of getting the icing only in their mouth, but others, like Sebastian, got it everywhere else!!!

Here is Ms Abby...one of Sebastian's many girlfriends beginning with the letter A! Abby, Ava K, Ava R, Ashleigh....the list goes on!!!

Enjoying the Beautiful Fall Weather

Here's some pictures of Sebastian enjoying the beautiful fall weather today. He had a blast playing with all his new toys.

Prince Sebastian's 1st Birthday Party

Today was Sebastian's 1st birthday party at the Bootheel Youth Museum. He had a "prince" party theme and his birthday cake was in the shape of a crown. All the kids got to play in the museum and then Sebastian had cake and he opened about 1/2 of his gifts before he got bored with the whole ordeal. All the kids got to be honorary princes and princesses with a certificate, crowns and tiaras, wands and great favor bags with take-home cupcake boxes. It has been quite the day and we are all totally exhausted. We had so much fun today! Sebastian had a great time with all his cousins and friends and the all the kids really enjoyed the museum. Below are some pics that Daddy had taken today...he likes to play with the settings on the camera, so not all the pics came out so great, but nonetheless, we got some good shots. Hope you enjoy....Check out myspace for some more great pics!
