Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! We decided just to trick-or-treat at our neighbor's houses around us instead of hitting the whole neighborhood. Sebastien loved grabbing into people's candy dishes but did NOT like it when they took them away. He was also more interested in filling his bucket with leaves than candy. We passed out candy afterwards. Again, Sebastien loved seeing the kids come to the door, but whimpered when they'd leave. What a difference between this Halloween and last Halloween when Sebastien was 6 weeks old!

Below: Sebastien usually hates wearing hats but for some reason he loves my pink fleece hat. He wore it around the house yesterday morning for about an hour.

First haircut

We've been working around illnesses lately it seems. All of us have had varying degrees of colds, and Dan has a sinus infection, but luckily no flu yet. Sebastien was finally able to get an H1N1 vaccine today, but only because I am pregnant. I am still waiting for mine, but am hopefully getting it later this week through Dan's mom, who has a connection through her school nurse's union.

FIRST HAIRCUT! Sebastien sat with Dan to get his first haircut. He did great! Just sat there any watched in the mirror.
The new look.

We went apple picking with a group of friends on Sunday. It was beautiful weather and we were all hot in our long sleeves and jeans. Although there were slim pickings for the apples, we had a great time. Here is a family pic. You can see my 19wk belly is starting to show.

Sebastien kept dropping his apples on the ground while eating them so he ate about 1/4 of several different apples.

Halloween Parade

Last weekend Sebastien marched in Windham's "Horribles Parade" at the park. It's a Halloween costume parade for little ones. The park was a happening place on Saturday. There was trick-or-treating provided by local businesses, hayrides, pie contests, and more. I really am glad we live in a kid and family-oriented town. Sebastien wore his easy Tigger costume and luckily he learned to walk long distances only a couple weeks ago so he could walk in the parade.

Mommy and Sebastien in the parade

Jack Mehlberg and his parents Elaine and Mike were in Boston so they drive up for a visit. Jack is 16 months.

Playing with Luke

Sebastien's friend Luke now has a new baby brother, Landon. We went over to visit them last night and Sebastien got to play with Luke. Here is a photo of the boys in their pjs.

Clapping is fun!
Today I received this package full of yummy treats (chocolate covered pretzels, jelly beans, popcorn, etc) from my team for Boss's Day. I was so surprised!

VIDEO: Walking and Saying "Apple"

VIDEO: Sebastien has officially been walking now for the last week or so. He walks all around the house and it's been quite fun to watch. Here is some video of that, as well as him saying "apple."

Topsfield Fair

Dan & I took Sebastien to the Topsfield Fair Sunday morning in Topsfield, MA. Here is Sebastien looking at the goats.

This picture turned out pretty funny because the goat started biting my jeans and sweater.
Modeling his fall sweater (knitted by our friend, Larissa).
Sebastien LOVES pulling off people's glasses. Sometimes it's cute, but mostly it's annoying!

After seeing all of the sites, Sebastien had his first fair food: a soft pretzel. He's not quite ready for the fair food that his mommy got, such as the peice of cheesecake dipped in chocolcate. Mmmm.

1 Year Photos

Becca and I took Sebastien to the mall today to get his one year photos done. He was very hard to photograph because he had no intention of sitting still. The studio people's baby props didn't interest him so instead he grabbed a readers digest book off the fake book shelf from the Christmas set and sat contently flipping through that while they got some photos. To see all 15 photos that I purchased, you can find them at the end of this online album:

These blocks lasted about 3 seconds. Luckily the photographer got off this one shot.
