A catch up of photos at my sisters request.

    In December, Linda and Kirby had us over to make and decorate cookies. Sebastien enjoyed this outing... cutting, rolling, icing, eating. Right up his alley.  Afterwards we went to a nearby fire house to see their model train exhibit (no pictures). A wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Thank you.

Some undetermined time in December (pre haircut). Having fun in a box with his 'sticka' overalls.  Hand me downs from cousin Nikolas that are much loved.

  Christmas Day. Moving too quickly for our camera to capture.



  Playing with the dump truck from Ah Kong and Granny.

  Mihai had a birthday at the end of the month. While Sebastien was under whelmed with the candle part of the celebration. The eating cake met with his approval. 'Cak'.

Lia came to visit us after Christmas, to help us with Sebastien while day care was closed.  Ion (Mihai's middle brother) and his family came to visit us as well.  The boys went to museums while the women shopped. And SHopped. And shopped. The young ones played video games.  which sebastien throughly enjoyed. Apparently, Mihai has been teaching Sebastien to yell, 'GO, Go, Go' when taking off from red lights. This skill came in handy will cheering on his cousins while driving Mario Kart. During this period SEbastien learnt how to turn on the TV and plug in the controlers....

 

With Uncle Ion at the zoo. Mihai got tired of schlepping around 34lbs on his shoulders.

Cousin Ion took very good care of Sebastien. Playing with him around the house and keeping him from trouble on the play grounds.

  Huge fit after visiting the air and space museum. Mihai tried to put him down to nap in his stroller. After 10 minutes of calming him down fire engines decided to circle The Mall. Sebastien wanted to go see them. THe only way to get him to calm down again was to tell sebastien they were going that way. (and then proceded to head home).

  Mihai got all the kids to look for gold bug in the Richard Scary book. I never thought i would like that book this much. It has the ability to keep children quite for stretches of time.

  Sebastien opened this bag of chips up all by himself. While I feel I should be worried. I am rather proud.

Reading with Lia.

And finally. Today was the first day Lia was left alone with Sebastien.  I was scared of what I would find when I got home. A sleeping baby (three hour nap)! Who had helped Lia clean the house. Good thing he has his own broom.  He did however manage to get his hands on our camera and take a few pictures.  Lia figured out he was up to something when it got quiet for a long period of time. She found him lying on the floor with the camera. Enjoy.
