Funny Sebastian Stories

Since I don't keep a baby book, bear with me as I tell a few funny stories of things that have happened lately...

• At church a few weeks ago we were saying a special blessing for all the catechists. The priest asked everyone to raise their hand as we prayed over them. So Paul and I did it and look at Sebastian between us and he has his little hand raised too. He was quite proud of himself. It was a very sweet moment and of course Paul and I couldn't contain ourselves and laughed the whole blessing. I think God understands...
• We were doing some shopping at SAMs club and as we passed the huge bins of giant pumpkins (everyone knows SAMs has the biggest ones around!) Sebastian points and says....apple! Again, too cute...
• He loves to mimic words, noises and actions. While this can be very cute it can also be quite dangerous!! The other day Paul said "crap" and Sebastian promptly repeated it. Also, whenever Paul burps, Sebastian does an imitation burp. We try to keep a straight face when he does it, but it is so funny that he knows he is up to something. Then we were driving through a icky part of town and I said "sketch" which he said quickly too.
• He is obsessed and I mean crazy obsessed with school buses. Well, any kind of bus really, but school buses are the max. We have to listen to "the wheels on the bus" cd in the car at all times. Finally on Sunday we told him it was Jesus day and we were not going to listen to "wheels on the bus." Thank you Jesus! I even look up school bus videos on youtube for him to watch.

Okay, enough anecdotes and on to the pictures.

Sebastian, my brother and sister-in-law with their new beagle puppy, Lexi.

What a crew. Sebastian with his friends Elias and Michael. I can't believe we managed to get this great picture!
Sebastian with his first friend Finn. The boys are just getting so big!

This was last Saturday - a memorable day because it was the first day Sebastian had no nap. It was brutal. Here we are driving back from Orlando to go home to Melbourne. He can not even keep his eyes open, but he keeps asking for crackers and trying to eat as his head rolled all over the place. We were, of course, listening to "the wheels on the bus" and if we even tried to turn it off because he looked asleep he would catch us and say "wa wa, wa wa!" Wa wa is the word for bus in Spanish. So that was a very long day.

Today was the first time he jumped on the trampoline! I had been showing it to him for weeks and he would never even get near it. But today he just climbed right on. I knew he'd like it!

Loving the ball pit. He spent a good 20 minutes in here today bouncing, jumping and throwing the balls. He LOVED it!

Ahhh!!!!!!!
