Sebastian's 2nd Birthday....All Aboard!

Sebastian's 2nd birthday was a train themed party. He has been enjoying his train table for quite a while and he always gets excited when we are out and about in Augusta and come upon a train, so....deciding to have a train party was simple.


The decorating for his party started the night before, with his train cake. Thank goodness for my mother's help. I don't think I could have done it without her...Stella was not even a month old and here I was having a birthday party for Sebastian!

Happy Birthday, sweet Sebastian. You are so much fun and such a joy! Your new love for trains, airplanes, and cars has been fun to observe. You're able to identify cars that look like cars that belong to people you love (e.g. "Mom, there's Jill's car!!!"). You love to play with Helena, but can play by yourself for hours, also. Although you don't love to try new foods, you sure can put away waffles, bagels, and oatmeal. You are thoughtful...at night-night time you often will bring Helena her blankie before you go and get your own. If there is ever a time that we can't find you, you are likely sitting on your bed with your blankie sucking your thumb. You have adjusted well and quickly to being the middle child...you often will find baby Stella and give her a sweet kiss and then go right back to playing. The first color that you've been able to name is pink, which you owe to your big sister's love of pink, but blue, green, and yellow were not far behind! You love to dance, specifically shake your bootie, preferably without any clothes on. After your bath, you love to put your hoodie towel on and run into our bedroom with a loud "ROARRRRR". Sebastian Edward, your Mommy and Daddy love you more than we can ever explain. Happy, happy 2nd birthday little man!
