New Year's Eve Hike With Daddy

Hard the believe that it is 2008 in a few hours! This year has been quite a doozy for the Paganos to say the least. Sebastian is 16 months old and we have been in our house for about a year.

The only thing that would have made it better is to spend more time with friends and family that we can't see on a regular basis. We miss you all.

Sebastian is becoming quite a trip. He has a fantastic personality and wants to say hi to everyone he sees. He loves to hug and kiss and laugh. He is absolutely amazing!

Happy New Year everyone. Heres to a fantastic 2008, and we hope to see you very soon.

Big Walk caught on film

and...we are walking...

The night before Thanksgiving Sebastian started walking like crazy!

He also is obsessed with his signing. He knows eat, milk, more, please, baby, train, airplane, fish, my turn, and a few more.

First Steps (pics and vids to follow)

Just a quick note that Sebastian took his first official solo steps this morning. We were just informed by Nana and Papa that he stood up and walked about 7 steps to his teddy bear on his own. And so, the chasing begins...

We knew it would be soon. In the past week he started standing on his own, and if you hold his hand he basically runs. Until this morning, he would freeze if you let him go and eventually sit. Looks like he is gaining confidence!

I will hopefully get some video of the "Sebastian Stagger" this weekend.

Family photos on the beach

Our latest "photo shoot" on the beach. This is just a few. Expect to see more around the holidays!

Very close to walking

Sebastian and his first girlfriend

Sebastian had a playdate with his friend Evie. They are two weeks apart - and get along great! We're ready to set a wedding date, as long as we get her parents consent. They are sooo compatible - both are attached to their mommies, both are wildly obsessed with touching other peoples stomachs, and both HATE to get their diaper changed. A match made in heaven!

Our Little Rascal

Well, we started out with a 3 piece suit thinking that Sebastian would be some sort of business exec. When we couldn't figure out how to make him carry a Palm Pilot and wear a Blue Tooth device, we went with Alfalfa.











A group of people in the neighborhood with little kids did a sort of free-for-all parade where we just walked around making noise with rattles and drums.

Sebastian was very serious at first, but loosened up as the night progressed. We did go to one house with him but he had no idea what was going on.

























Standing and dancing on his own, still holding his one piece of candy!














The "post-party" where William and Sebastian played and danced together. Sebastian's costume was suddenly transformed into a guy late night after a wedding, looking to party.

Hangin' with Jim and Heidi

Jim and Heidi came down from SF for the weekend. Jim and "SEA BASS!!!!!" (as Jim calls him) have quite a special bond.

Big Eyes

There's really nothing I can say about this shot. I mean, c'mon!! We sent this one in for a shot at him being a Gap baby.

Mexico

We went to Mexico with friends who have a boy that is about the same age as Sebastian. He loves the beach, the tequila, and he speaks Spanish. We had no idea! It was a great time. We went to a place called Los Gaviotas. Its less than an hour from our house and its perfect! Secluded beach, pool, surfing, etc...We went for the weekend and got to go to Puerto Nuevo Lobster Village for some good grub with the boys. Our friend's boy is William. He and Sebastian are buds and have a great time together as you will see.

YEAH JERSEY!

Happy Slobber

Mexico

Mexico was fun with lil guy. He loves the beach, tequllia, and speaks spanish. We had no idea!




























This is a video I made after the trip of the boys.

Fire Truck

Sebastian loves his Fire Truck that Nana and Papa gave him for his first birthday! He would have been a big help in the wildfires for sure. As you can see, he has a "Grouch" shirt on. Yes, he does get grouchy! (must be from Amy's side)

Pumpkin Patch

Sebastian's first time at a pumpkin patch. It was fun to watch him crawl around in the mud. As you can see, he liked the biggest one we could find. He now refers to it as "pun pun" or "puuuu".
