Discovering the Cute Boy in the Mirror

Sebastian is passionately crawling and walking with assistance now. One of his favorite things is to crawl over to me, reach up and grab my hands, pull himself up, and then take off with me in tow. He loves it and so do I. Being a grandmother is much more fulfilling and delightful than I could have imagined. Of course, he is a delightful person to be around.  🙂

Here are some of our most current photos. Enjoy!!

Sebastian Photos

Sebastian is now 7 months old and is continuing to bring such delight to our lives. In fact, he eagerly wants to explore everything he sees including cupboard doors and doorknobs and backs of chairs. He brings joy wherever he goes. He is an inspiration to all of us. Here are some recent fun photos.

These are from our family trip to Monterey. We visited the aquarium there. Sebastian was mesmerized by the two story fish tank. I could have watched all day so completely engrossed by the amazing things he was seeing.

Outdoor Adventures with Sebastian

Here they are!! The next exciting round of Sebastian photos. My daughter-in-heart Nichola took these photos and she got some of Sebastian’s smiles. He smiles lots, and he doesn’t know about holding his smile long enough for the photo to be taken. They’re often over before I can capture them. Remember, you can double-click the photos to enlarge them. The cradle was used by my father in Iowa and Orion when they were infants. Very special!5months_216

Sebastian Meets the Horses

We recently took our five-month-old grandson Sebastian out to the ranch to meet our two horses Destiny and Echo. It was a major photo opportunity! Nichola and I were "all over" every beautiful photo. Here are some I like that she and I took. We feel blessed to have such a loving connection with Orion and Nichola and feel so grateful for the many moments we get to spend with Sebastian. Such a joy!!

If Sebastian’s hat looks a little small, it is! He’s grown so fast he almost out-grew the cowboy hat before we got some horsey photos. With a little tugging, we were able to get it to stay on long enough to take the photos.

I made the purple sweater Sebastian is wearing. The joys of being a grandma!

Enjoy!!
