we have been experiencing technical difficulties

This is how pictures have been coming out for the past month or so. I mean, it's kind of cool, but it does not look like Sebastian hanging out in his bouncy seat. Not even on crazy drugs.
Good news: we have taken steps to remedy this situation. The baby's first year, it must be documented in full!

RIP hydrangea???

I've done it. I think I've killed the wedding hydrangea(s). At least the one in the planter in front. Maybe also the one in back. I know, they're supposed to look really bad this time of year, but I keep looking at all the other hydrangeas in the neighborhood, and none are so dried out and leaf-brown as mine.

It breaks my heart. And I guess we won't really know whether it's dead until the spring. All I can do is hope.

And I know how it happened. It was really hard to water when Seb was little and during those first few weeks when I wasn't supposed to carry stuff. Not that that's an excuse. I could have carried smaller cans of water. Or remembered to ask Steve to do it. Sigh.

Fingers crossed it'll make it to the spring.

because I know the aunties are jonesing

Our little noodle is two months old! And still a tall, skinny string bean -- 26 inches and 12.6 pounds. He's outgrowing the 3 month clothes already, and is even maxing out some of his 6 month footed pajamas. But anything bigger and he squirms out of the neck hole.

He's all smiley and can see things now -- he loves being on the changing table (fish mobile!) and in his play gym (dangly toys!) and so finally I got Steve to hang up the sheep in his crib. Yesterday he was so excited about sheep that he wouldn't sleep. But he's sleeping there now.
Here he is playing with his favorite zebra rattle in the gym.

Halloween

Our little dragon, and other festive cuteness. None are awesome pictures. Sorry!

He was a dragon! A scary dragon!






An uncomfortable dragon, maybe? Look kid, it's not about you. Smile for the camera!






There was the cute happy halloween onesie.






And mommy's little pumpkin had a little pumpkin hat.

Let's go Yankees!

Let's go Yankees!
We like Posada, Jeter, and Teixiera best. And that speedy Brett Gardner too. Go boys go!



And Daddy, won't you do something about that crazy hair?

cousins

Since I'm not allowed to exercise yet, I've been taking long walks. Very long walks. Thursday we went to hang out with Betsy and Cyrus. Cyrus LOVES Sebastian!

Uncle Enzo

Everyone (well, not everyone, but many of you) want to know how Enzo is doing with our new addition. He's taking it pretty well. Curious but not that interested. Likes that we do more hanging out as a family. Always wants to be in the same room as us and Sebastian. Climbs behind the glider when I'm nursing. Curls up on the round rugs in the baby room (aren't all round soft objects on the floor his for laying on?). Gets concerned if crying goes on too long. Basically, he acts like an uncle. So he got promoted. Before the baby came we referred to him as getting a "brother", but really, he's an uncle. Uncle Enzo.


Oh and no, Sebastian always sleeps on his back. What you see in this pic is tummy time -- I just was having a hard time getting the stupid camera to click when S.'s head was actually up. That was a while ago. He's really good at it now!
