I'm OK. You're OK. But you didn't suffer through an earthquake last night

Hola friends,

As you might have heard, we were hit with quite the earthquake last night. Fortunately, we survived it ok. Though Mommy and Daddy were a bit scared. Anyway, as you can tell, the internet is still working. (Woo-hoo) And, as a special treat, below is a video re-enactment of last night's events. I warn you not to watch this video if you are easily scared or upset. This video contains realistic seismic events and a super cute baby.

Without further ado, I present myself (Baby Sebastian) in... "The Night the Earth Shook Mightily"






Some folks have privately mentioned to me, Baby Sebastian, that my earthquake video reenactment might have seemed insensitive. While my baby humor may differ from yours, some medical professionals have privately mentioned to me that this video might have been cathartic for Mommy and Daddy, and a good way to let everyone know the three of us were ok.

For those of you wanting to know how you can help the unfortunate people left injured or homeless by this event, we strongly recommend donating money to the Red Cross, who have been extremely active in Peru since this event.

Time for another update

Hello again, and my apologies for taking two weeks to update you on my adventures...





My tiny fingers always hate me after typing these messages, so I know you understand. (Though pictured above is my faithful assistant, who does help a little.) Anyway, I am going to spend this post updating you on part 1 (of 3) of my semi-recent trip to the US of A. After all, I am a proud citizen, regardless of what the Peruvian authorities will have you think. (In fact, I was thrilled last night when I saw the U.S. defeat "The World" in women's surfing in the X-Games. What, you missed it?!) Anyway, my U.S. tour was comprised of visits to Maine (to visit Tios John "El Burrito" Burrows and his fiancee, Miss Christy Cole), Washington, DC, and Boca Raton, FL.


However, first I must congratulate Christy and John, since they got married yesterday! Particular congrats go to Tio Burrito, since he married way, way up. Similarly, my condolences to Tia Christy. If she'd just waited a couple of years, I'd be on the market.



















Anyway, as a special gift, please view these ultra cute pictures of me repeatedly. The first one is straight outta a catalog (not Compton). Which reminds me, I really should start supporting my 5-a-day diaper habit by pursuing a modeling career.




















The second one is a shot of me and Daddy at his office, where he "works". Abuelito says he just sits in his chair and plays video games all day. I don't know who to believe, though Abuelito does come off a little crazy.



Anyway, on to the photo update...




















First is me with Tio John. That's him right after I told him that I was making the moves on his future wife. Imagine the look on his face when she gave me her phone number...


Next is hidden video of me actually hitting on Christy. As you can tell, I am pretty smooth. And cute.






















There's Daddy and Tio John hanging out in Portland, Maine. I took them there for the day since they had been so well behaved. Well, Daddy was anyway.






















Then there's Mommy and Christy, surely talking about how lucky they both are to have such wonderful men in their lives. (Mommy actually has two!)























Finally, here is the happy couple!!! Of course, all bets are off once I grow up a little. As I mentioned before... In fact, if you don't remember, you may need to work on your reading comprehension and retention. But that's for another post. Heck, you've probably already forgotten the last sentence anyway...



Why is this picture here, you ask? Well, it was taken in Maine during my visit, it displays my new love for drinking from glasses, and (most importantly) it serves to remind you that this blog is all about me. So feel free to stare at it for hours on end and comment on how cute I am.



















Finally, it's just me. Hanging out on a bed in Maine. Looking mellow and curious and thinking about how happy I am that it's not winter in Maine.


Well... thanks for checking in. Remember, parts 2 and 3 of my USA tour will be updated soon. Also, American Airlines is currently having a sale to South America, so come see how cute I am in person. Lots of love to all my fans!

XOXO,

Sebastian (aka Mr Squeakers, Squeaky, Sea Bass, Seagull, Corvina, Tacu Tacu...)
