Baby's first Christmas

The festivities in Chesterfield continued with tons of food, laughs, and increasing numbers of strange men around the table.  Cousin Danny drove in from Kansas City for the night and the craziness continued.  Matt, Ryan, and Danny were up until the wee hours of the night "getting the band back together."  Danny arrived with drums, a guitar, and a ukulele (an ukulele? isn't that a weird word?!).  Sebastian continued to entertain the crowd with his cuteness.  Unfortunately for me, Sebastian is currently on a roll of only having poopy diapers for me.  I am now on a five day streak of being the only person to change a poopy diaper... I am feeling very special. 

We have been watching movies, spending quality time with the family, and enjoying our down-time.  According to everyone back east, we are missing a huge blizzard right now!  I can't say that we are upset about missing 11-18 inches of snow.  In fact, I can't say we are excited about winter at all!!  Oh well, we will survive.  We hope everyone had a great holiday and we look forward to catching up with everyone in 2011!!

Sebastian meets Babi Irene

Sebastian finally had the opportunity to meet his great-grandmother Irene.  He fell asleep in the car on the way over and was pretty tired at first but he perked up eventually so that we could snap a few shots.  Irene and Sebastian were color-coordinated for the event (we didn't plan this ahead of time!!).  See pictures of the meeting below.
The introduction...

In other news, we are still just hanging out being lazy around the house.  Sebastian loves rolling over from his tummy to his back.  The roll is actually more of a flop but he seems to be quite thrilled with his new accomplishment.  He is working on rolling from his back to his stomach.  I am convinced he is capable of doing it but that he chooses not to do so yet.
Sebastian stole Mark's mouth stick!
