Today is the Day...

Today is the day...that's right...Our lil' pumpkin is 23 months old! Which means that in one month we're going to have ourselves a TWO YEAR OLD!!! Which also means that I no longer need to keep track of how old Sebastian is in months... From now on when people ask how old he is I can proudly say 2! And I am proud... He is one fantastic, loving, adorable, awesome, comical, passionate, inquisitive, determined, adventurous, cuddly, awesome (yes, I said that twice), energetic, amazing kid and I'm sure there are a lot more adjectives I could use to describe him but I can't think of any more off the top of my head!!

To mark the occasion I thought I'd share a copy of videos of Sebastian in action:




Hope everyone is well,

It's been awhile...

I've been a little tardy with keeping up, so I thought I'd just give a quick update on what we've been up to.

1. Sebastian had his first haircut at the barber's a few Saturdays ago. This is the same barber that Jamie goes to so we thought we'd see how Sebastian managed. It went well... sorta. Sebastian sat on Jamie's lap and I held his hands (for reassurance, not because he was trying to hit the barber!). Sebastian now looks like he's ready to join the military. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the only time in his life he looks like this. Here is a picture of Jack brushing Sebastian off:



2. The next day we went to the Scarborough Bluffs where we enjoyed a nice luncheon with Jamie's co-workers and their families at the Yacht Club. Sebastian did an amazing job of sitting nicely and eating and we were really proud of how content he was with sitting at the table and reading his books. This is a silly pic of him standing on his chair (after I just said we were amazed at how nicely he sat!!) with his plastic Budweiser cup...


3. The following Tuesday I went to the NIN show... but this blog isn't about me (even though I was front/second row and absolutely loved it!!!). Ha ha

4. And last but definitely not least, Jamie and I reached a big milestone this past weekend for ourselves. We actually spent our first night away from Sebastian!! To celebrate our anniversary we went back to the Windsor Arms, where we had stayed on our wedding night, for the night following a lovely dinner downtown. Nonee and Papa came in and stayed with Sebastian. I had known that Sebastian would survive but I was really worried that I would not do too well. Truth be told... it was kinda nice having a kid-free night. Hopefully it won't take us another two years until we have another one!

Tree Climb!

This past weekend we spent our Sunday in Kitchener/Waterloo celebrating a number of birthdays with the Whitehouse clan. While there Jamie and his cousin Terry decided they would climb the tree in Terry's front yard. This is a magnificent tree. Words alone cannot even begin to describe how magnificent it is.

While I was busy reviewing some of the pics I had taken of Jamie and Terry in the tree, Papa scooped up Sebastian and handed him over to Jamie. At the time my heart leapt up in my throat... it really was pretty high and I know that if I had seen his intent I probably would have stopped him. In retrospect, I'm glad Papa did what he did. It was Sebastian's first tree climb and it definitely won't be his last (although I'm sure my heart will be in my throat each time!).

Zoom, zoom, zoom...we're going to the moon!

A week ago Sebastian and I went and returned our library books after the Farmer's Market. As I had previously mentioned, the new kids sections in the library is amazing, so I thought I'd share some pics.

Tomorrow is Farmer's Market day again. Sebastian is sick with a cold so we'll probably just head to the market, grab a few items and then head on home. I'm hoping the day will be nice and relaxing for him to help him recuperate.

Wishing everyone well,
Kim
