1st gear

as seb plays in his jumpy seat in the doorway, he seems fairly normal, his usual playful self, waving “hello” to me every once in a while. he has procured an old cell phone from his daddy for a toy, and i just saw him trying to shove a marker into his ear canal. that’s […]

the weather outside

the birds are singing! the sun is shining! even if it’s for a few days–woo hoo!! it’s amazing how much easier life seems to become sans putting 20 layers (a little hyperbole never hurts) on myself and seb just to run to the store. and i literally mean running in and out, no dilly-dallying allowed […]

to cut? or not to cut?

one of the little things that brian and i have loved about seb since he was born is his hair. he’s always had some. in the beginning it was just nice that it was there to hide the bumps and bruises from his delivery. around 3-4 mos, his hair began growing in thicker, and we […]

boy talk

you’ll have to excuse the main page right now. it looks dumb i know, and i tried to change it, but it didn’t work. i’ll fix it soon. or brian will. so anyway, about seb. seb just turned 7 months old! he’s over half a year old already. i think having a kid has made […]
