It amazes me how quickly Sebastien is developing. With Chloe as his role model, he is absorbing and mimicking everything that she does and he is doing everything so much quicker because of it. His full sentences and responses as well as his vocabulary are absolutely incredible. This boy better get a scholarship, I’m telling you… Mommy won’t be able to afford college!

We decided to take the kids with Grandma and Grandpa to get some nice photographs taken at the mall. Check them out!

We spent a lovely weekend with Great Uncle Savio in Connecticut.

And they got to see a frog!

When the kids weren’t running around outside, they were inside destroying the house and playing with all sorts of things.

This picture was snapped by Uncle Savio of my too-cool-son in Daddy’s sunglasses.

 

The summer is flying by!  Here are a few pictures and videos from the month.

Eating grapes by themselves (stop peeling the skin for them Grandma! LOL).

Sebastien getting ready for piano lessons (in a few more years):

Chloe figuring out how to shake her butt:

Sebastien took a big knock to the forehead so his face and nose are a little bloated in this picture, but the hair seems to hide most of the bruise.

One morning walking out to the park, they insisted on wearing their red berets. My little Frenchies.

Daddy reading to the kiddies in French:

Chloe is getting so tall – check out her growth stats (courtesy of their bedroom door molding):

 

 

We were going to take the train and go to the beach this morning but it continued to drizzle so we changed our plans last minute and took the kids to the aquarium at Coney Island instead. They had a BLAST. Just look at the awe in Sebastien’s face, it’s all lit up like “mom, WOW”.

The kids love to sing. Whether they are on key or not is a totally different question. But I love to listen to them sing in their sweet little voices, even if they’re making up half the words because they don’t know them.

It’s really amazing to watch Sebastien play with his puzzles. His mind clearly grasps a lots of things very quickly and he needs very little supervision to keep himself content. He’s going through our puzzles so quickly that I can’t keep up with him!

Summer time means pool time.

Lots of cloudy weather and a couple of days of rain didn’t seem to stop the kids from going outside. Chloe has finally mastered “rain rain go away” and Sebastien is not far behind.

Since Grandpa introduced the kids to the ferry, the kids ask to take the boat every day. So we decided to take them one cloudy morning when everyone decided to wake up super early. I brought hats for the kids but they almost blew away so Chloe got stuck with a head scarf that makes her look like Yentel.

I love the picture with Sebi imitating the Statue of Liberty holding up his arm like he’s holding an ice cream cone, LOL.

I’m going to keep taking pictures of my kids kissing each other because I know it’ll be over too soon…

And why is my son so damn cute? He’s really going to be such a heart-breaker with that face… both of my cute trouble-makers.
