The Announcement

Sebastian's birthday party was this past weekend (the professional photographer has not delivered the pics from the event- as soon as she does I will post). We took the opportunity that we had all the grandparents and the majority of our siblings, and announced the soon arrival of our next bundle of joy:) I can not take full credit- my friend Lauren did something very similar and I just tweaked it for our opportunity :)

We Have Engendered!!!!

Baby Dedication

This past Sunday our church held a baby dedication. Here are a couple of pics:)


The little girl to the left of Sebastian is his little flirting pal... put they next to each other, and the flirtation begins!!!!

Happy Valentine's Weekend to All!!!

Then and Now

Sebastian went for his 12 month portrait yesterday. For fun I took the Tonka truck he was photographed in for his Birth Announcements. Look at the difference

Happy Birthday Sebastian!!!!!

I can hardly believe that a year has come and gone!!! I had heard that it goes by fast, but little did I really understand how fast fast was. In the past year Sebastian has changed so much.

He went from being so little-

wearing premi and newborn size for the first couple of months, to this off the chart big strong boy who is wearing 18-24 months/ 2T.

Sebastian and bunny 1 day before he turns 1!


He lights up any room he enters with his award winning smile.

He loves to play with his Super Star Singing Stage, loving on Napoleon,

driving his walker (especially at his aunt Sherri and uncle Jeff's house), walking while holding on to hands.

He loves books and bathtime:)

In his first year of life he has traveled up and down the east coast from Florida to Pennsylvania. He can say Dada, Mama, and Hi:) Give kisses and loves to play Peek-a-Boo.

He is pulling up on items and can hold his balance for a couple of seconds... walking on his own is just around the corner!!!!
It is such a joy to watch him discover new things- which is happening daily now:) We have loved every second of his first year (well almost I could have done without the 2 trips to the hospital and the nights we had to stay there) and are excited for this new year we have ahead of us:)
