Merry Christmas!

We didn't get around to Christmas cards... as usual! We are going to celebrate Christmas with Justin's family a little early then it's off to San Diego. We wish everybody a Merry Christmas!

Eleven months!

Sebastian found Justin's shirt on the floor and somehow figured out how to put it on.

Also, he turned eleven months yesterday! I can't believe my baby will be a year old soon. Here are some things he has been loving lately...

-dancing every time he hears a good beat
-eating big people food
-yanking the ornaments off of the Christmas tree
-standing on his own for a few seconds and then sitting as soon as he realizes he isn't holding onto anything
-crawling over to other babies at church (he is very social)
-pointing, clapping, waving bye-bye (only when he's really in the mood)
-climbing onto (and off of) everything he can
-taking only one nap a day

He has even slept through the night a few times lately. This is awesome for him because he pretty much has been waking up every three hours at night since his birth.

His first little tooth is barely visible but he managed to fall and hit it on the tub. It started to bleed and stuff so I hope the poor tooth is alright!

Sebastian lately

This is his new favorite game...

Off to church

Tough guy... Don't mind the overflowing dirty laundry pile behind him.

Just always getting into everything.

And I felt his first little tooth yesterday- still can't really see it though. Took almost eleven months!

Our little monkey

Sebastian was only in his costume for about three minutes.

Minute one...Minute two... Minute three...

He hated it.

Visit from the family

My mom, dad, and sister came in to town last weekend so we took some non-professional family pics. My cousin did a good job but we couldn't expect her to work miracles;) These are some that will NOT be used in any Christmas cards. I'm still debating whether I will send cards out this year given the pictures I have to work with...I actually like this one better than the one my family chose. Trust me, none of them were perfect.

At least Sebastian is smiling in this one.Since these pictures were super casual, we didn't put much thought into the wardrobe. That is why we ended up with clashing plaid shirts.Awwww.

More daddy/baby.

He's not smiling in any of the mommy/baby pics.

He wanted to eat stuff.

Putting Sebastian on the ground was probably not a good idea.Sisters.

The three of us.

Tara and Christian got married... Tara looked beautiful! I didn't get a pic of the bride and groom :(

Family night pumpkin carving...

Cousin Sarah, cousin-in-law Jana, and bro-in-law Josh carving away.

Justin took the longest... his Yoda pumpkin turned out really good but I couldn't get a good pic.

Josh's Captain Crunch guy, Sarah's shapes, and Jessica's skeleton.

Sebastian is modeling his spider web pajamas.

Yes! I got mommy's drink!

Now if I could only open it...Don't mind the dog prints on the floor.
