Milestone Update
Dear Sebastian,
It's been a while since I last wrote to you and over the last month you have grown very much. So far you have outgrown all of your 3-9 month old nfant clothes and you are almost 8months, you are currently using size 12-18 month clothes. You may think this is silly but I was very sad when I put your newborn clothes away... I will be keeping all of your clothes and toys for our additional family in the future.
Sebastian you are a world of curiosity as your little palette begins to taste the wonderful flavors of food. You have now started eating solids. Before you where 6 months I started making your very own home made baby food. Your first food was an avocado blended in our Baby Bullet but your first homemade baby food was sweet potato and let me tell you, you devoured the whole bowl and after every bite you almost bit my finger off you loved it so much. We also give you Baby Gerber food the same kind your big brother had when he was a baby, although not the same as homemade you get the best of both worlds.
You are turning from back to front and front to back before it was only back to front! You never really enjoyed being on your tummy and now when placed on your tummy you turn right over. You also now sit on your own although sometimes we have to place pillows behind you just incase....Sebastian you are working your leg muscles like crazy you enjoy climbing on both of your mommy and daddys chest as if you where climbing a ladder. With all the climbing you are also slowly trying t pull your self up! You are very close and will be crawling in no time.
So, Sebastian what I don't understand is why do you enjoy playing with everything other than your toys for a few minutes. So far you are obsessed with pulling mommy's hair and glasses, remote control, cell phone, eating paper, pulling your dog Guero's hair, biting your mom's jaw! Go figure I think we need to get your cooler toys becuase your are so not interested in the ones you have know. lol.
Sebastian so far you have experienced your first: Trip to the Park, Sea World, Museum at Balboa Park, Several Restaurants, First Movie at the movie theaters in 3D (Cars), All Holidays from November 2010 to Now 4th of July coming near by, First time at the Pool (Baby Pool), Birthday Parties and most recently your tia's Bachelorette, etc. and many more wonderful adventure to come....
Your current schedule is there is no schedule! We go day by day. We also exclusively breast feed on demand and you eat about 3 servings of baby food a day. You take two morning naps and two afternoon naps. And your bathtime routine is usually around 8pm, we sing lullabies and read books before bedtime.
I enjoy watching you sleep in my arms sometimes when you wake up in the middle of the night I hold you just a little longer after you've nursed. I can hold you all night just knowing that you are safe in my arms enjoying all those unknown smiles while you sleep. We love you very much and each day is so great knowing that you are the reason you make us all so much happier. Your brother Jesse not only takes good care of you but he enjoys making you laugh and cuddle you with tons of kisses. Your dad is a happy mess and can't wait to see the both of you and your brother after he gets home from work. He devotes time for the both of you and it's a beautiful sight to see all my three handsome boys together enjoying life!
It's good bye for now but not forever, I have so much more to tell you son but will another day.
Mommy loves you!

your father...
Dear Sebastian,
I just want to let you know that you have the most amazing father ever. After you where born your daddy has not only taken really good care of you but of all of us. He is perfect in every way and there is nothing more important to your dad than his family. Your father and I decided that the best thing for the both of you and your big brother Jesse would be for mommy to stay home. I love staying home with you and wouldn't change it for the world. I can even pick up your brother from school early and take him to his tae kwon do without rushing from one place to the other like I have done it in the past while I was working, and we couldn't have done this without your daddy he made this happen thanks to him and his work mommy can stay home. Thank you honey we love you very much and we appreciate absolutely everything that you do for all of us at home. By the way Sebastian ever since you where born your daddy has taken care of doing the laundry just so that I don't have to worry about it while caring for you during the day. Your daddy gets the daddy of the year award and has always had it in my eyes. Love you lots my little chunky monkey!

Sebastian milestone update FIRST TOOTH & ROLLING OVER!!!
Sebastian this has been a busy week for you in your developmental growth. For the past month you have been teething. Where you have shown severals signs of it such as grabbing every thing in sight and placing it in your mouth. Swollen gums and becoming irratable during your feedings have been other teething discomforts you have encountered. For comfort we have given you several frozen teethers and wash cloths and Baby Tylenol and orajel have been administered but after discovering that the FDA has discouraged the use of baby orajel due to the benzocaine in it we will discontinue the use of it. Its believed that it can be harmful and can cause several issues.
One Tuesday morning on April 26th I discovered one of your bottom tooth sprouting while feeling a little tiny sharpness as you where gnawing on my thumb. The following day a second tooth sprouted right next to it. You haven't been able to nurse or nap comfortably due to your teething discomfort but both mommy and daddy have tried to hold you upright during your naps which has been the only way you will fall asleep. Sebastian as your teeth started to sprout you have constantly stuck your tongue out as you have noticed quite the difference in your mouth the feeling of your new teeth arriving.
On Thursday you rolled over for the first time. You where on your belly doing tummy time and as I stepped into the kitchen and your brother was going to the restroom he noticed that you where no longer on your belly but on your back. You where no where near your mat and managed to move away from it. We where ecstatic and the next day we got a chance to actually see you in action and we recorded it for daddy. You are officially our Rollie Polly! We are extremely happy to see you growing daily. We love you Sebastian.

Your "Lovey" you LoVe!
Sebastian your Daddy and I decided that it would be a great idea to get you a little cuddly buddy to have and to hold ....tee hee You are about 20 weeks now and love to chew on just about everything. I gave you the option between this little lovey (monkey) or an elephant that played lullabies, you enjoyed the music but once the little monkey was placed in front of you, you snatched it up and straight into the mouth!!! Daddy and I are thinking we should get you a back up just in case. Your lovey is soft and in front it says I love Hugs and the inside fabric is a silk brown color. The best part is when the silky brown turns dark brown and this is how we know you enjoy it soo much. I thought Mr. Hugs would be an appropriate name for your lovey so when you need a comfort buddy to chew on he is there at all times!!! Mommy loves you.
