So it turns out that when we’re not looking, these boys are up to no good. Witness what was captured on the super secret surveillance cam earlier this week:

I think it’s fair to say that Sebastian is well on his way to becoming a pedestrian, no?

Well, I’m a bit late in posting ’cause he’s been doing this for a while but here it is! Nicholas is hot on his brother’s heels.
God help me.

Well, we finally did it. We abandoned our babies and left town for an adults-only weekend. It IS our first anniversary, after all.

He put food in his own mouth first and was followed by Nicholas shortly thereafter. He dragged himself across the floor like a wounded soldier first and was followed by Nicholas shortly thereafter. He pulled himself [...]

They’re heeeeeere.
Teeth, that is.
If you look carefully in Sebastian’s mouth, you can see a tiny little spot on the bottom left where a tooth is struggling to get out. Nicholas has got the same thing on the right side. Looks like they’ll have matching toothy grins within a few weeks. Photos will follow.
