L.A. Boys

The title, "L.A. Boys," was Oliver's suggestion. He came out whilst we were taking photos of Seba in OP's Angels hat. Initially, he wanted the hat back right away, but as soon as he saw how cute Seba was in it and how much fun he was having he decided to join the project. He went to his room and came back with his Dodgers cap. He said to papa, "take a picture of us and post it with 'L.A. Boys.'" So here is the post with accompanying photos.

New Tricks!

Riding the truck--with close supervision, of course. (At this age Oliver was already riding one-handed and wielding the other in victory or neighborly greeting. Seba is a bit more reserved.)
Endless fun with the baby in the mirror. Any mirror works, even this lightweight play mirror, which results in fantastically distorted versions of our beautiful baby. It's no matter to Seba; he loves the baby every time.
Smiling through the pacifier. He has honed this skill to a fine art. A favourite family game is to get him to laugh or to smile so much that the pacifier falls out.
(He's also a great traveler! This photo was taken in a hotel on the road.)

Solid Food!

"Did I ever eat rice cereal?," Oliver asked recently. "Why, yes, you did." The photo above proves that he ate (mostly) some gloppy whitish stuff anyway. This question was prompted by the eating adventures of Sebastian, who, whilst he does eat rice cereal (reluctantly), is shown below during a meal of sweet potatoes. So, those of you who enjoy weighing in on their relative resemblance to one another, have at it. We look forward to your observations!

He likes it!

"He's big, mama!," proclaimed dear Oliver this morning. Big brother still moves to the couch to hold little brother, but he no longer needs a pillow for a prop. The little dude also eats food now (we got tired of his screaming protests and dangerous swiping at dinner time).

Best way to travel

Seba spent a great deal of time in the sling during his first major traveling experience, which included airplane, metro, urban walking, and lots of socializing. I wonder, how big would a person need to be to support my travel in a sling?
Needless to say, he delighted all with his festive spirit in the midst of an academic conference.

Two boys, One outfit


At this point it's clear who is who. Anyone care to weigh in on similarities and differences in appearance?

The big one!

going, going...
GONE!
Sure, he's lost other teeth, but this is a big one. It makes a big impact both in terms of appearance and inner mouth feel. There's no doubt about it: this is a [still on the little side] big kid!
