Sebastian's Quiver

Earlier today we were all hanging out in the living room and before we knew it Sebastian was playing behind the open door to the stairs that lead to our second floor.  Juli and I got up at the same time and peaked around the door and there was Sebastian already climbing up the stairs!  We sat ourselves on the stairs and made sure the he wasn’t going to fall and he kept climbing higher and higher (photos below).

The other things that he did this weekend was go down the slide at the playground almost by himself.  At first I laid him down halfway up so he could slide down on his back, but he really wanted to sit up and go down the slide, so I held his hand and let him slide most of the way down the slide just holding my hand.  He loved it!  He went down a bunch of times smiling and laughing the entire time.

Sebastian has also been doing more and more cruising.  For those of you who don’t know the baby lingo, that means that he stands around holding onto things and shuffles around while standing.  Essentially, walking around while holding onto things.  He’s a little tentative, but he is getting around more and more.

Here are the latest photos.  I’ve been a bit lax with the photography, so I apologize.  Here are the links to all the photos:

We went to the Saturday Farmer’s Market at PSU like we always do first thing Saturday morning, and it was cold this weekend, so we had to bundle Sebastian up.  He was the most popular kid at the Farmer’s Market.

Here he is climbing the stairs:

Sebastian LOVES our friends’ kitten, Calvin.

He’s so sweet when he’s sleeping:
