Long time, no blog!

I feel like the world's worst blogger. I haven't updated the site in a while it seems. Maybe it isn't as bad as I think. Let's hope...

Sebastian continues to be the best baby ever. He is sleeping like a champ, eating very well and is just all-around happy. We have gotten into some bad habits, however, like letting him nap during the day ON one of us, not in his crib. Today we wrapped him in his swaddler, laid him down and he went right to sleep. I fully realize we are VERY lucky and that not all babies are quite that easy so I am THANKFUL that he is so good. We are on a great schedule (6-10-2) and he sleeps from 11 PM to 6 AM every day.

This past weekend we took him to Picnic with the Pops and saw Marvin Hamlisch and Linda Eder. He was SO good. People kept coming up and saying what a good baby we have. DUH. We sat on the blanket and listened to music and had a little light dinner. He started to fall asleep as the show was ending, we quickly packed up and went home. It worked out quite well.

We also went to dinner at our friends' home on Friday night. Both nights we got home a little late, he was already alseep in the car seat. Todd took him out of the car seat, wrapped him up and he went right to bed. I know, for those of you that have fussy babies (or worse...colic) I AM SORRY!

First Father's Day

OK, first of all we are not sure what Sebastian's obsession is with sticking his tounge out, but there it is again. What a cutie!

Our first Father's Day was spent at Todd's grandparents house, where nearly the entire Felumlee family gathered to celebrate Father's Day. We have been going every year for 7 years. This was certainly a lot of fun with the baby. He was a HIT of course, and everyone wanted to hold him. It was great, it gave Todd and me a chance to relax a bit and let someone else take care of him for a little while. We had to pry him away from people so we could leave!

We bought his first baby pool today. We will get it set up and filled soon and put some pictures online for sure.

Sebastian Loves Mickey and Minnie!

OK, how freaking cute is this kid? His personality is really coming out and he is such a happy little guy. We are getting him to sleep longer and longer at night, and we have less fussiness and crying to deal with. Six hours of uninterrupted sleep is great, but we are looking forward to the night he goes 10-12! Things are great in other regards as well. As you can tell he is growing and eating is not a problem for him at all. He loves to play on his activity mat, and has started reach out to grab items. He also has the cutest smile. We haven't gotten a full laugh out of him yet though. This weekend should be pretty quiet, aside from a visit to Todd's family for Father's Day.

We're interlocked!

First of all, how freaking cute is this picture? He started smiling this week and I can't get over how adorable he looks when he does it.

Friday June 12 was our Interlocutory hearing at Franklin County Court. It was a relatively straightforward process, and aside from a momentary emotional wave overcoming me, it went fine.

Saturday we went to the Yellow Springs Street Fair. This year seemed bigger than ever. We bought a few baby things, including a tie-dye onsie. I can't wait to put him in it!

Sunday Todd and I went to see A Chorus Line. Kevin, Jennifer and the boys came over to stay with Sebastian while we were gone. He did just fine, though he did cry a bit for Aunt Jennifer.

Super Size Baby

Sebastian went to the Columbus Arts Festival on Friday night. We had a great time, and he really liked walking around in the harness. We took him to the Short North location of LaFogata Grill that night too!

This weekend was the Harland Family reunion. Todd and Sebastian stayed home while Mark visited with his aunts, uncles, cousins and the rest of the extended family. It was a lot of fun. The family continues to grow by leaps and bounds. It was great to see everyone.

Today we decided that Sebastian needs to start wearing 3-6 month clothes. The 0-3 onsies fit, but anything with feet in them or rompers do not fit so well, and the onsies won't fit much after this week. Good thing we have lots of clothes in bigger sizes, we are going to need them!

GROWING Baby

Sebastian went to the pediatrician today for his 6-week check up. Doctor Lee confirmed what we already know, he is a very healthy and happy baby. He weighed 12 lbs 8 oz, and was 24 inches long. He was very good for the doctor, probably because there were no shots in sight this time. Next time, watch out, we've been warned it will be rough.

Zoo Trip Number 2!

Saturday, we met our friends Laurie and Josh, and their two kids Will (5) and Alyssa (8 weeks) at the zoo. We had a great time! It was certainly a lot hotter and far more crowded than it was in early May. Again, we didn't see a lot, it was more about walking around, getting some fresh air and just hanging out.

Sebastian was mesmerized by the aquarium. He stared at the fish as they swam by, and I don't think he even blinked once. He sure is very aware of everything that goes on around him. We find we have to really entertain him and keep him stimulated or he gets bored quickly, and lets us know it!

We have a pediatrician appointment on Wednesday. I am anxious to see how much the little porker weighs. I am betting it is over 12 lbs for sure. I'll be sure to post what we find out after our appointment.
