The best part of the day is coming home to spend time with the kids and Laurent. Chloe is becoming more and more talkative. She’s got a great vocabulary of small words (mostly in Cantonese) that include grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, little brother, aunt, milk, fish (short for Goldfish), open, bath, eat, and give please. And of course there’s a whole bunch of baby talk that is jibberish to us but I’m sure makes perfect sense to her. Sebastien is as cute as ever and continues to grow like a weed. He’s always happy to talk to you and give you a bunch of big smiles – he always brightens my day.

Here are some videos of Sebastien from September that I had missed posting previously:

During my pregnancy when I was carrying Sebastien, I could really tell the difference between him and Chloe, specifically how much active movement I felt. My OB attributed it to the fact that with Chloe, the placenta was on top of her so it muffled some of her movements whereas with Sebastien, the placenta was underneath him. Somewhere along the end of the second trimester, around 8:30pm after we had put Chloe to bed and I put my feet up on the couch, Sebastien would start this marathon of kicking. And when I say marathon, I really mean marathon. Laurent and I counted a few times and it would get upwards of 20-30 consecutive kicks within a second or two of each other. And it was consistently every night. It was the weirdest thing! Now that Sebastien has joined our family, his kicking has not subsided. At least it confirmed that I wasn’t crazy feeling all those kicks! He reminds me of a Disney character, what do you think? =0)
