It's been such an exciting week and it's only Wednesday!!

This has actually been a week of "firsts" for us. To begin, Sebastian's first tooth finally decided to surface on Saturday (Aug. 4th)!! Although we have been waiting since he was 3 months old for a tooth to arrive, and thus, not entirely surprised, we were surprised by the sudden appearance as his demeanor has been pretty much the same. This was somewhat shocking to us as we expected our passionate lil' boy to announce to the world that a tooth was breaking through with much wailing and mayhem. But alas, it just wasn't meant to be. But hey, we're not complaining whatsoever! We're happy our little man wasn't too affected by his first tooth and am hoping that the rest of them come in so easily.

Sebastian also surprised me by climbing up the stairs today in pursuit of our cat Tabs. Please note that I didn't say that he crawled up the stairs. No, in fact, he did indeed climb as his knees never once touched the ground!! Needless to say, the safety gate that has been sitting down in the basement waiting to be installed will be permanently installed tonight!

We're also in the process of planning Sebastian's 1st birthday bash. Jamie and I were wondering if anyone knew how we could turn back time? If so, please let us know... or maybe I should say, let me know. I'm looking forward to the 1st birthday but I am already sad thinking that the first year is almost at an end. Just a poignant example I guess about high quickly time flies and how important it is to enjoy the many special moments you have with your loved ones now.

And last but not least, good friends of ours have announced they're pregnant! Not exactly a first for us, but definitely a first for them. They aren't too far along at the moment and I don't believe they have told everyone yet, so their identities will remain a secret for the time being. But with that being said, congrats to them both and we send big hugs and congrats!! Can't wait to meet their lil' one in March!

Feeling nostalgic,
Kim
