9 Months Old

Nine months....My. Baby. Is. Nine. Months. Old!!! OMG, it certainly has felt like my world has been revolving around the little munchkin for the past nine months but whoa does time fly. You wait your whole life to become a Mama and feel like your pregnant for ages and then in a blink of an eye your baby is already nine months old, three months away from a full year!!!

Happy Nine Months Baby!

I love being a mother, I was born to be a mother...I can never get enough of that adorable little mini me. People are always asking us if we want a break or come hang out and leave him with Grandma, but I can't, he's my life, he goes everywhere with us. This is my time to spoil him and spend as much time as possible with him cause I won't always have that opportunity. He will be a big brother someday and then he will lose all the spoiling one-on-one time and become the responsible older brother. Right now he is 100% a Mama's Boy and I love it!

He always grins big when Mama talks to him in the car!

Now, he may be a Mama's boy but he also loves his Daddy...A WHOLE HEAPING LOT....like WOW loves his Daddy...he like to makes funny faces at his Daddy!

I have no idea what this face is for!

Look at those cheeks!

Sebastian's appetite has changed a bit...he still HATES baby food, wants nothing to do with it....Mommy and Daddy are going broke trying different kinds....so....we are giving up!

This is the face after several bites of pasta primavera baby food.

This would be the face after Mama shared some of her homemade chili!

How dare Mommy and Daddy eat something and not offer it to him...who do they think they are? He is so hilarious when it comes to food....if he even hears/sees someone chewing, he reaches for your mouth or crawls across the room to get to you!

Yummy, this boy LOVES pizza, just like his Daddy!

I could not put the pizza bits onto the tray fast enough, he is a quick little booger with those pincher fingers!

Let's just say this was a fun meal!

Who knew Pizza was so funny!

Oh, the concentration!

And were laughing again!

Big boy in his highchair!

Although his appetite never seems to be far away, he is still teetering on 20-21 pounds...his official 9 month weigh in is on the 30th so we will see exactly how much he is. His height however, has been steadily climbing, literally up our wall!

I think its safe to say that he will have Daddy's height!

Sebastian is a crawling master now...he can look quite funky though, he is not fond of putting weight on his left knee so he does this half crawl half scoot along move. But, he gets where he wants to go so, it works! He is also getting really confident on his feet...he can stand still and move from furniture piece to furniture piece all by himself so walking is right around the corner! 


Well that is my nine month old...he is such a character, definitely has his Daddy's personality and sense of humor...I love the big sloppy kisses that he plants on my cheeks! I love, Love, LOVE this little man!

Eating frozen yogurt!

On a different not, I am so excited that my corporation will be the Presenting Sponsor of the 2012 Isabella Santos Foundation 5k for Kids Cancer in September, more to come on that exciting fundraising event for a great cause!

Stud of the Month

Sebastian should be crowned the Stud of the Month...he is breezing right on through his milestones in the mobility department. He successfully crawled several consecutive steps in a row on July 5th! Since that wonderful discovery, the world is at his fingertips, literally!

Overnight, he has become a WHIZ in the crawling department and he is not interested in doing it for long, he is already trying to stand and take steps on his own. He had two bruised eyes in a 48 hour time frame because of it, lol.

Let's just say that Jonathan and I are a lot more at ease about his development seeing that he picks up on new skills VERY quickly. We were a bit concerned with his not so comforting entrance into this world. No one could tell us for sure if there would be any permanent damage after five long minutes of unresponsiveness, but we are both a little less worried since he seems to be excelling in many development areas. 

He is becoming quite the little character these days...between the very slobbery kisses to his giggling fits to his less than thrilling appetite for broccoli, he never ceases to amaze us. He absolutely loves to have the palms of his hands tickled :) He desires to eat absolutely everything that Jonathan and I eat and is none too thrilled about that gross stuff called baby food! He had pizza for the first time last night and I couldn't get it onto his tray fast enough!

He has developed the highest pitched scream/squeal imaginable when he wants more or wants to be held...we are working on changing that into some words because the scream is killing us! His little pincher fingers are his greatest asset now...he was using them to hand Mommy pieces of cat hair from the carpet last night...I guess its time to vacuum again :) 

My Baby Can Crawl!

I am so excited to announce that my little man is on the move...at only eight and a half months old, we are now chasing him everywhere around the house. He is move, move, move...the baby proofing has begun!

Fifty Shades of Freed - Series Complete

It is with great sadness that I have finished the Fifty Shades of Grey series with the completion of the third installment, Fifty Shades Freed!

I wish there were more books to read, I didn't want the story to end! I cannot recommend these books enough...they have surpassed ALL of the other books I have read and are my #1 favorites of all time! They are just so intriguing and captivating and make you fall in love with the characters.

These are a FOR SURE, MUST READ!!! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
