You have rejected the baby food pouches and are now just eating what we eat!  You are still nursing, I am trying to decide when to wean you.  But for now you still nurse a couples times a day and a couple times at night.

SLEEP: 

Night: Bedtime for you starts around 8 you typically fall asleep between 830pm and 930pm.  You are usually up around 11/12 for a snack and then around 2/3 AM then you usually sleep until 730 or 8 in the morning.

Day: We are starting the one nap transition... some days you take 2 naps one around 11ish and one around 3ish.  But there are more days that you don't take your first nap until around 1 and you typically sleep for an hour and half some days more some days less.  Then that bumps your bedtime to 730pm.

You are still in the "putting things into things" phase... you are getting better at not putting things in the toilet... it still happens if I don't watch you closely!  You now do all the flushing of the toilets in the house however!

WHAT'S FUNNY:

Pain is funny to you... You currently like to pull hair and occasionally bite to get a laugh at the reaction it brings and not just us your torment includes all the dogs... we are hoping this phase ends soon.

Zerberts.. You love to give and get zerberts!

All things involved in tickling is hilarious. And rough housing... you love to be tossed about onto a bed or couch and jiggled.

Maggie says this weird word "ruh....reeery"  and you always laugh at this... why??? I don't know.

You also love to play chase with Maggie.... you love when Maggie or anyone chases you and you also love to chase Maggie.

Bedtime stories, I read you this book about animals... you laugh at the animal sounds I make... every single one.

Easter Eggstravaganza!

Saturday was the Easter Eggstravaganza at Maggie's Preschool.  It was eggselant!  The kids and by kids I mean Maggie and us Moms were eggstatic!! Sebastian kept his opinion to himself. 

They had quite the spread of sweets we opted to stck with strawberries and pirate booty to avoid a sugar crash later.  They had two crafts a Easter egg bag and bunny ears.  Maggie did her ears but didn't want to decorate her bag so I had the honors of making one set of ears and two bags.

The egg hunt was great each kid was allowed to take 8 eggs.  Maggie enjoyed the egg hunt but she enjoyed opening the eggs for the prizes more...Sebastian on the other hand could have hunted eggs all day.  He loved the process of picking them up and putting them in his bag.

Of course no Eggstravaganza would be complete without a visit from the easter bunny.  Which Maggie calls the Snow Bunny.  Both The kids were enamored by him. Well Sebastian was more paranoid yet curious.

The last part of the event was the raffle which we again took part in but came home empty handed.  The poster I made was for this event and I was proud of the finished product and I am hoping they will use it for years to come!   

Car Seat Shuffle and Tooth number 7!

Tooth number 7 is poking through.  But not where I expected it. He still only has 2 on the bottom so I assumed that his next 2 teeth would be the 2 other front lowers but it is his 1 year molars...or molar on the right that has announced it's arrival.  Poor guy is chewing up a storm and even with pain reliever not sleeping the best.

Speaking of Sebastian growing...he

has outgrown the infant car seat so we had to choose between getting Maggie the next type of car seat which would include a booster seat or get Sebastian his own Convertible car seat.

Well Sebastian is getting another hand me down.   The barca lounger is now his! We got Maggie the Graco Nautilus 3 in 1 complete with cup holder and storage cubbie which I am sure will be filled with all kinds of stickiness soon. This will be her seat until she reaches 100 lbs or some height I don't know right off hand.

Doing the swap is not as easy as it sounds... seat covers have to be washed...especially the barca lounger... I found all kinds of stuff in the base of it...money...a chestnut...hair ties... food.  Then strap adjustments have to be done.  And then install.

The infant seat doesn't expire until 2016 so I am giving it to a friend who is expecting twins in late fall.  You know they could use a spare car seat! This also serves as my official announcement that we are done.   No more birthing of babies.

This seat is too small!!

 See...too small indeed.

 This seat is too big!!!

 This seat seems about right. ..

 Yep. Perfect.

"This is Maggie's seat baby brother!"-Maggie

12 Month Update~ Sebastian

FOOD:

We have quickly integrated what we eat into what you eat and supplemented with veggie/fruit pouches and nursing.

SLEEP: 

Night: Bedtime for you starts around 8 you typically fall asleep between 830pm and 930pm.  You are usually up around 11/12 for a snack and then around 2/3 AM then you usually sleep until 730 or 8 in the morning.

Day: We are starting the one nap transition... some days you take 2 naps one around noon and one around 4ish.  But there are more days that you don't take your first nap until around 1 and you typically sleep for an hour and half some days more some days less.  Then that bumps your bedtime to 730pm.

MILESTONES:

You are walking!  You are also clapping and you have even pointed.  You have even starting to "dance" you bob your head and shake it left to right to music... you don't quite keep the rhythm  but you are moving and that is rhythm enough for me!

You are in the "putting things in things" phase... including anything you can get your hands on into the toilet.  Of course I have only had to pull out items twice before blocking you from toilet access all together (which is difficult since your sister is new to the potty and needs quick access).

WHAT'S FUNNY:

The dogs are funny and getting tickled is also OH SO Funny!

YOUR FAVORITE TOY:

You really seem to gravitate towards cars and blocks and anything you can bang on a hard surface.  As much as we enjoy watching you with the matchbox cars we have set them out of reach so you don't choke on them so you will have to wait a little longer before you get to enjoy them.

CLOTHES SIZE:

You can still wear most 12 month pants and shirts but not for long the onesies are getting hard to button and are now transitioning into 12-18 month clothes!  But it seems we will have the same issues we had with Maggie where you will need to fill in those clothes a bit... I am still bothered at the fact they don't do a 12-15 month size....

HAIR COLOR:

Your hair is really starting to grow in.. but it is more blonde than strawberry blonde.

EYE COLOR:

They are BLUE!!

Now for the Uppers!!!

Sebastian just got an upper tooth.  This explains his weird sleeping pattern the last couple nights!!  So now he is up to 3 teeth. He got his second lower a couple days after the 1st popped through.  And as of today I noticed his little smile is showing his 2 lowers.  I will try to capture a photo and add it to this post.  That is all!
