Sebastien is a very entertaining little boy. He makes little faces at people, yells loudly, tries to sing, bounces around. He is still quite a talker, and will sit and play with his toys, or "read" his books, all along practicing words and noises. (Both our kids LOVE books by the way.) Sebastien's giggle is contagious and we love to make him laugh. Especially when it turns into a belly laugh, it is hilarious. He remains our more easy-going child, even in his rambunctiousness. While he is not walking, he is trying hard and he can take several steps at a time.
Eden is so delightful. She has always had a heart-melting smile, but it just seems to be more beautiful with time. The older she gets, the more her sweet personality shows. She is also quite smart, or at least her very impartial parents believe. We enjoy watching her little mind work as she plays keep away from her brother, brushes her hair, makes a "tickle me" motion (if her brother is being tickled), says "da-ee" when she hears the back door open. She took her first steps, but we have not seen very many steps since then. She prefers crawling or walking with a hand to hold.
Here are a few pictures from their birthday party on Saturday. The party went great - both kids were in fantastic moods. They seemed to love having so many guests at their house. Eden got a little overwhelmed while we opened presents, but that was ok, she just sat on Daddy's lap until she felt better. We sang "Happy Birthday" of course, which Sebastien gave some hearty applause for afterwards. They loved their first taste of cake, especially the frosting, but somehow they didn't get too messy. We felt so blessed - not only because of our beautiful one-year-old children, but also to be surrounded by friends and family who adore our kids.
