Hand-me downs...

While I love shopping for new clothes for the baby, I also love seeing him wear his big brothers clothes. It brings back so many great memories.
Check these out... I'll have to try the outfit again on when Nate is 3 months but at the rate he is growing he'll never fit in it then!
NOTE: Do NOT pay attention to the quality of the photo (chopped limbs, coloring...) but rather pay attention to how cute they both are :)

My new favorite picture of Nathaniel!

He just looks SO stinkin cute!

His eyes are a weird blue-ish, grey-ish, brown-ish color just like my dad's and Eric's eyes. They have a beautiful glow to them and pick up the color of the clothing he is wearing. I am not biased at all when I say he is the cutest little 2 month old EVER!

Finally...

more Easter/birthday pictures! I know, I know they are a week late but we've been busy!


It rained alot on Easter, so we were unable to have an Easter egg hunt. The rain did let down though for a whole 5 minutes so we hurried outside for a mini hunt with Anthony and Sebastian. They both had a really good time and loved looking inside their eggs to see what was inside!


Nate's first Easter...asleep!













































One of Sebastian's eggs was empty (my fault) and this is the face he made when he opened the [empty] egg. He is SUCH a drama queen...ehhh... I mean KING!





being goofy with mama!








Sebastian doesn't quit get the birthday concept yet. He thinks every birthday is his and screams :SEBBY BIRTHDAY!! and insists on blowing out the candles himself!

52 weeks: my boys 'n me!

A photography board I am part of has initiated a challenge. The challenge is to make sure we get a picture of ourselves with our kid(s) once a week for 52 weeks. I am really looking forward to doing this. I am not as comfortable in front of the lens as I am behind it but I am sure I will treasure these photos.
If you want to check out our progress : http://52weekmyboysnme.blogspot.com/

Our first Easter as a family of 4.

God has blessed our family in so many ways. Having two children has brought more joy and love in my life than I would have ever imagined. Oh sure it's not easy everyday and there are days I want to just lock myself in the bathroom so no one could find me but most days with my 2 beautiful boys and my husband are simply amazing.
My birthday fell on Easter this year and I couldn't have asked for a better gift than having these 3 amazing people: Eric, Sebastian and Nathaniel in my life.

--> the 4 of us at church on Easter Sunday.




Easter Par-tay!

Today we were invited to celebrate Easter (a day early) with a bunch of our friends at Mike & Elissa's home. We were planning a big egg hunt in their yard but unfortunately it was pouring (!!!) rain. We still had loads of fun though and made sure to stuff our faces with all the yummy dishes everyone had prepared.
We managed to do somewhat of an Easter Egg activity. We threw all te eggs in the middle of the room and let the kids have at them! their faces were PRICELESS!!
Sebastian was SO excited (you'll notice if you read our blog often than Sebastian easily gets SO excited-lol-) He kept screaming "WOOHOO EATER EGGS WOOHOO EATER EGGS!!!!". Gosh what wouldn't I give to be a kid again!

We attempted to take a picture of all our kids but it failed miserably!-lol- It's so hard now especially since most of us have 2 kids now.

I scream, you scream we all...

scream for ICE CREAM!!!
For the past two weeks the ice cream truck has been stopping in our neighbourhood, Sebastian quickly learned that when he heard the music, it meant the ice cream truck was near.
He gets soooooo excited...the funny thing? he doesn't even the ice cream!!!!! He licks it once and it done. He just loves going up to the truck, paying and running back to show me what he got!

Here comes Peter Cotton Tail...

I guess in Boca we don't have the privilege to meeting the "old fashioned" Easter bunny (the goofy dressed big white bunny)... maybe he's not snooty enough for our area ;)
So we took the kids to see Peter Cotton Tail...Sebastian was ery intrigued at first but once we sat him next to him he started crying (look at the first picture) some nice person tried to distract him and gave him a colored Easter egg from the decoration around us and in less than 10 seconds, Sebastian stopped crying! Miracle! We got Nathaniel's first picture with the bunny without Sebastian freaking out (too much-lol).
oh and check out their outfits, I bought them cute matching ties to wear on Easter Sunday, aren't they ADORABLE??

Where does he get these things??

Tonight I had a few Easter related errands to run so Eric stayed home with Sebastian while I went out with Nathaniel.
I was gone for about an hour, as soon as I pulled into the driveway Sebastian came running out with his arms wide open : I MISSSED YOU MOMMY, I MISSED YOU!
Gosh I don't think I have ever heard anything sweeter. I hugged him so hard I thought he would stop breathing... gosh I love my kid!!

Happy 2 month birthday my love!

My little man is 2 months old today.
As of today he weighs, 14lbs10oz (off the chart for weight) and is 23 inches long (50% for height)... short and fat: I LOVE IT!!




Funny things kids say...

well my kid in this case...

I thought I'd share this with you all.

- This morning Sebastian came to me while I was doing dishes and said : " Mommy Sebby hungy (=hungry),, you make Sebby coffee"... I was floored and could not stop laughing!! My two year old is asking me for coffee? LMAO!

- We were out and I asked Sebastian to hold my hand to cross the street. He had a juice in his hands so he looked at me and said " No mommy two hands busy"...lol

-Today he found my easter gifts stash, I guess I should just hide them better. He found one of the coloring books and took it out. He came to me and said: " mommy buy book... oh thank you mommy thank you thank you thank you!!!!" my heart just melts when he is so sweet!

that's it for now... mommy duty is calling me!

Just one more...

of our little man, because I seriously can't get over how beautiful he is (I am not biased AT ALL).


WOW, we're busy!

I don't realize how busy we are until I actually blog about it(keeping track of what the kids do is the reason why I started this blog since I am horrible at keeping up with their baby books)... This is my third post today because I haven't posted in a 2/3 days and have lots to share!
I guess we try to keep busy and expose Sebastian(and now Nate) to as many new things as possible.

Today we went to Tradewinds Park. Every 3rd weekend of the month you can ride their steamer, go on a farm tour and even ride horses!!
Unfortunately Eric had to go on conference call for work and could not come along thank godness Amy, Tony and Anthony were there to help me out and keep us company :)

This has to be one of my favorite picture of Sebastian. I love the look in his eyes... he is looking at his favorite thing in the whole wide world : TRAINS!!



with Tony, Anthony and Amy

the conductor!

they are back!

Anthony eating popcorn

too sunny to open his eyes all the way... so cute!

On a horse! He LOVED it!








A Latte Fun!

Today we discovered a GREAT new place thankx to the awesome mommy's group we have been part of for over 2 years now. It's a bit of a drive for us (it's in Palm Beach Gardens) but SO worth the drive. It's a called " A LATTE FUN" (get it?). It's an indoor supervised playground with TONS to do with a cute little coffee shop with comfy couches and yummy coffee for the moms.

We arrived there at 10:30am and didn't leave until just about 1:30pm...3 hours full of fun for Sebastian and relaxing (with a cup of coffee!) for me!

The lighting was horrible so even with the flash my pictures turned out crappy but at least you get an idea of what I am talking about. I wish I had taken a few pictures of the coffee shop part... oh well, next time, for sure!

If you want more info just check out their website: www.alattefun.com.

Seb sliding down the huge inflatable slide:

baking mommy cookies:





Does it look like he is sick of the camera already?? LOL I tried to prop him on this sofa to get a picture of him but it was leather and he kept sliding down-haha
Anyway, here's Nate at exactly 8 weeks old... time flies by way too fast, I'll never say it enough!

Butterfly World

If you read my previous post and looked at the pictures, you've probably already guessed where we went:Butterfly World!
We went with our good friends Cheryl & Tyler. The boys had a great time (Nate just layed in the stroller and looked around) and so did we.
Sebastian was VERY excited when he say the butterflies even though he would freak out a bit if they came too close. At one point one landed on Tyler and Sebastian kept screaming "butterfly eat you Tytor, butterfly eat you!!!" LOL!
Then we went to feed the birds (don't ask me what kind od bird, I don't remember) and boy did Sebby have fun!

We enjoyed ourselves so much, we renewed our annual pass and cannot wait to go back!
