Sebastian Rex Larner.

Our first night home we snuggled on the couch. I love these moments.

Aunt Courtney came to visit you in the hospital.

Here you are with Aunt Ellie.

Aunt Jess came to bring Cealy to meet you and held you while she was wild woman around the room.

Cealy was so excited to meet you, but didn't want to hold you right away. Now Cealy asks me about 50 times a day to hold you. "Hold Brother?" She calls you "Boo Boo, snuckoms, brother, and booger." I wonder where she gets these names. Cealy stayed with Aunt Jess for two days and my mom and Steve for two days. She was treated like the Queen she is, and bossed everyone around. Aunt Jess made you people pancakes the first day, and took you to play with grand Pam too! You went out to eat, swam, played outside, and ran errands with my mom and Feve as you call him. What a lucky girl you are!

You were named after your grandfather, Rex, my dad. We want our children to have middle names that stay in the family. Rex went perfectly with your first name and it means, King, so what else could be better? Ha. Our grandparents send down life lessons. It is important to live your life and remember those that preceded you. You have amazing grandparents with incredible life stories. There is always a lesson to be learned.

Your beautiful Grandmother, Deb. Incredible woman she is.

You with your grandfather, Doug. Danny and I had to pick between two boy names, Sebastian Rex or Roman Douglas. We better have another boy because I love both names!

My most handsome little boy was born on August 16, 2011. I fell completely in love with him the second I held him, and couldn't believe how much love I had for him right away. I knew what to expect with a C-section, but I was still nervous. I got sick right before you came out, and thought it would never end. I had an Amazing doctor who is a peach, and great nurses who took pictures and told jokes. I am always up for dry humor, so we got along just fine.

You are such a love, and snuggle right up to anyone who holds you. Today you are almost two weeks old and sleep like a dream! Please keep this up my love. One night you slept for 7 hours, and when I woke up I did a little sleep dance for you. Super impressed my love. Probably because you drink 4 ounces of breast milk, and most newborns only drink 2. You weighed 9 pounds 6 ounces at your first week appointment. You rolled over twice for the doctor who was shocked. She told me many times she had never seen that before. When we got home I videotaped you rolling from your stomach to back at one week old for the world to see!

July 31st-Two Years Old!

You and Aubrey at your birthday party. Cruz was being fed and did not want in the picture until the bottle was completely finished!

My precious girl!

Could Nana be anymore beautiful? Pop and Nana came over on your birthday and took us to eat at your favorite new place, CR Heros where Nana spilt a drink and you called her messy for days!

Pop and Nana bought you a Sophie cake that you talking about for days until you ate the whole thing!

You are so big! First and foremost there is no other two-year-old as fun as you. You are hilarious. We are learning time-out, because of saying, "Stop-Stop" to me or hitting and thinking it is funny. You do not like time-out and it is unusual for you to go there, because you really are such a great kid! While I was making dinner this evening, you put your baby in time-out. I followed where you were going and you took her right to the spot where your time-out is. You told her, "Time out for saying, Stop-Stop...no crying baby." I couldn't believe it! I felt so bad. I told you that baby needed to come out of time-out and you said okay and went to get her. Then you fed her cheerios. You could not be any cuter.

You count to 20 and know all your colors. You speak so well to me, but you do not like to talk around people you don't know very well. You will talk your family's ear off, but if someone comes over you go mute and watch their every move. You are very smart. You went to your two year appointment at your doctor and are still in the 90th percentile for height. You are such a tall girl. You eat well, eating most anything we put on your plate. You are just like your mother and will eat peanut butter by the jar.

You LOVE your family and ask for them constantly. You love your grandparents and Aunts and Uncles. Keke has been helping us out so much, and I could not thank her enough! Auntie Aisha is taking time off while I am in the hospital to take care of me. I feel extremely blessed with my family!! You are staying with Aunt Jessie and Marm and Feve while I am away. Keke is in Switzerland and then is coming home to help for a couple of weeks. She cannot move there full-time or mommy will go crazy. She loves her sisters, and cannot live without them.

Our Big Move!

Our new home!

An alligator pool, Cealy's park (as you say), and a sandbox all for you!

You water the flowers everyday with me with your watering can. It is so sweet!

We are in Indy! We moved last week to our new home. You are having so much fun. Marm and Steve bought you a sandbox that you play in most everyday. Dad and I bought you an alligator pool with a sprinkler in it. Ella came to play with you yesterday and you both played in the pool. Papa Rex bought you a kitchen for your playroom and it is huge! You have a fake grill, and lots of fake food you fix for anyone who comes over. We water the flowers everyday and always have someone to visit. It is so much fun! I miss certain aspects of Chicago, but I believe we belong here. Your dad also bought us a new car! We are rolling a van. Now I never thought I would be one to drive a van, but this is the coolest car I have driven. The doors open automatically, and you have a lot more room. So go on and make some fun, because while my friends are cramped but in style, I am loving life in my sweet mini.

You love your new home. I put most of your toys in the basement. I created a fun space for you to play and have all your toys. I put all your books and puzzles upstairs, so we can read and have fun upstairs too. Pop and Nana painted all the rooms that needed it before we got here! They painted your room green and we put up butterflies! I love your new room! Pop and Nana also got the house all ready for us and added a beautiful bench to our kitchen. This is my favorite part of the whole house! We sure are loved!

Your brother is coming very soon, so we are preparing his room as well. You know where his room is, and you like to go in and say, "Bastian's room." We got to swim today with Marm, KeKe and Cruz. This was so much fun for you and me. You sleep most anywhere and I set up your pack-n-play in Marm's bathroom and you went right to sleep. You are still the BEST sleeper anyone could ask for.

Danny is working hard at his new job. It is a difficult move for him, because he loved his job in Chicago so much. So we must feel very blessed and thankful, because all things come at a cost. I think we will love this neighborhood. There are older kids who live around us, but we have not walked far because I am nine months pregnant and it is 100 degrees outside. I took a walk with you yesterday with Keke and had two cars stare me down wondering why in the world I would be walking in this heat. Or did they think they saw a live Buffalo?? No one knows for sure.
