Summer Fun

We love spending time outdoors, especially in our backyard. Nate loves to just sit and watch what is going on and Sebastian runs around causing chaos (don't act surprised!).

I managed to capture these moments on camera today.... I simply cannot get enough of them!

Best friend ever!

Just a few pictures of the boys. They absolutely LOVE each other and I have to admit that seeing them together is the most beautiful thing. A few days ago, we were all in the playroom and Sebastian ran up to Nate, gave him a big hug and said : " You are my best friend ever Nay-Nate (yup that's how he calls him!)", I swear Eric and I almost cried. How stinkin' cute???

Happy Half Birthday lovie!

Time sure flies when you are having fun!!!

It seems like only yesterday, we welcomed Mr. Nathaniel into our family and now he is such a big boy.

What is Nate up to these days:

- He weighs 21.5 lbs!! He lovesssssssssss the boob, doesn't care for baby food but seems more interested in what we eat than what is in his plate. He does love the organic teething biscuits I give him though. It's a like a drug to him and he cries his little heart out when he is done with it.

- He sits up very well, scoots backwards and to the side only.

- Says: mama, dada, nana and blows bubbles all day long.

- puts his arms up in the air when mommy enters the room so she can carry him.

- is starting to experience some speration anxiety, and cries when I leave the room.

- is the biggest flirt EVER.

- simply adores his big brother and will twist and turn in any way possible just to make sure he is always inhis line of sight (so cute!).

Here is a storyboard I made for Eric with his 6 month photos. I know it looks more like something I should have given him for Father's Day but it's still adorable!

Gosh I love this kid!

No wonder I want more kids, I have the most amazing boys! Seriously, I cannot get enough of them!

Nate is just the sweetest little thing and Sebastian (although quit the terror) is such a lovebug. I was playing around this morning after breakfast and check out this cute picture! Isn't he the cutest? I have a bunch more to proof, but it's time for me to go to bed, so you'll have to wait a day or two to see more!

Desperately need sleep!

You are probably wondering why I haven't blogged in 10 (long) days? Well I have been TIRED! Mister Nate for some reason has not been sleeping well at all. I mean he wakes up at least 5 times a night! NO KIDDING!
I am so tired I don't have the energy to figur out what is going on or how to fix the problem so my only solution for now is to stick him on the boob until he falls asleep (remind you of anyone?).
So, I'll try my hardest this week to update you all on us as much as possible in the next few days!

Did I tell you???

I have the most amazing news to share: my (baby) brother, Anthony is coming to visit on the 31st of this month! I haven't seen him in 7 longgggggggggg years (messed up family, long story). I miss him terribly and am so happy to finally be able to give him a huge hug and kiss. We are less than 2 years appart and I cannot remember a childhood memory without him in it.
He will also be meeting the boys for the very first time, do you know how excited I am for them to meet???
Anyhow, I just thought I'd share my excitement!

Happy Birthday America!!!

Our 4th of July was very laid back (for once). In the morning we took the kids to see Wall-E. What a cute movie! Sebastian had to pee during it a few times but other than that he sat pretty still.
Then we all came home and had a nice (well deserved) family nap and in the evening we had a DEE-LICIOUS bbq and had fun with some awesome fireworks. Sebastian loved them and Nathan slept through them!
Hope your 4th was just as fun as ours!

Here are some not so great pictures I took with my point and shoot. Enjoy!


Us at the movie theaters (couldn't get daddy in the picture)

Let's celebrate!

Since Eric had the day off we decided to celebrate " no more diapers". We took Sebastian out to Chuck E Cheese. Sebastian was so proud of himself and I was so proud to celebrate such a huge milestone with him. We all had a great time but I think the boys (Eric and Seb) had the most fun. They both spent their time playing car games and had to be dragged out when I had had enough of the place ;)

My trouble maker!

I asked my mom to watch the kids so I could run to Publix. I come back about a half hour later and my mom is almost in tears...Sebastian had gotten a hold of my mom's nailpolish and had decided it would be cool to paint himself while my mom was preparing Nate his food. When she found him he was next to Nate (who was in the bouncer) and was saying " I paint baby now too"! Funny now...NOT funny then!

Lion Country Safari

Last weekend, we took the kids to Lion Country Safari. Last time we went Sebastian loved it, so we knew he would enjoy it even more now, being that he is a bit older. Well he absolutely loved it! He even insisted on taking his own photos (see photo below). The animals got really close too this time, so that was realyl neat.

After seeing all the animals, we park the car and enjoyed the rest of the park. There is just SO much to do there. Daddy & Sebby played mini-golf, we fed the giraffes, went on a ferris wheel, played in the water park. It was a blast!
