Seriously, this kid is hilarious. He hams it up for everything. Smiles with both cheek dimples flashing and finally a giggle to go with it! He tends to grab at his toys and rattles with his left hand, much to his Daddy's great pride and pleasure. He jibber jabbers at us like he's carrying on full length conversations...I think he's going to be a serious talker. He loves facing outward in his carriers, both the Bjorn and Moby wrap, just people watching and eventually nodding off for a quick snooze.
He loves waking up in the morning. Seriously, he doesn't sound like a morning person because he starts fussing and fidgets a lot; but once you pull the blanket off of him, the smiles start. He wants to play and smile the first 15-20 minutes in the morning. Just lay in bed and jabber at you. It's the best thing in the world for a non-morning person like me.
We had our first mini vacation in Stuttgart the week of my birthday. We had a great time staying with our friends, Stephanie and Joe, and their awesome kiddos! We were able to hit up the Ludwigsburg Kurbis (Pumpkin) Fest! We had pumpkin secco, pumpkin soup, sampled some roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin bratwurst, pumpkin kiche, and pumpkin maltoschen.

We were also able to continue my birthday tradition of hitting up Volksfest, the second largest Oktoberfest in Germany. Last year we thought would be our last one so we bought Charlie his lederhosen and my dirndl but only I was able to go out since Charlie was at home dying of plague last year. ;) This year both of us made it but I didn't fit my dirndl so I picked up another. We took Sebi down one evening and he was on overload looking at the lights and taking in the people and the sounds.
It was great to have a mini vacation! Charlie was there for work purposes and we just kind of tagged along but it was easy work for Charlie so we had lots of extra play time! We got to meet up with old friends, make some new ones, and let Sebastian socialize with his "cousins"!
Such a happy, easy going little guy! He loves being out and about and loves the great outdoors!
All bundled up and snuggly against his Dad at the pumpkin fest!
On a smaller side note, I apologize for not blogging last month. It was a busy and frustrating month for us and lucky for us, things have smoothed out as Sebastian has grown out of his little colicky phase. I also did not feel like blogging because I have been kind of angry and hurt by the lack of action by some. It is my issue and maybe with time I will get over it but I am glad my husband is always able to listen to me and understands my frustration with people, particularly in the area of family.
Anyway, until next time! I will try and blog again before the end of the month!
I want to eat his face. In a good way.
