To all the girls I've loved before...

Hi everyone! I bet that you are surprised to hear from me so soon. But the spirit of Valentine's day moves within me, compelling me to send a special message to all the special ladies in my life.

Now, in addition to the lovely ladies already mentioned in the post regarding my trip to the Motherland (http://mrsqueakers.blogspot.com/2007/09/usa-update-part-ii.html), I would like to give a shout out to some of the ladies I have met here in Peru.


First and foremost there is my very favorite girlfriend, Rory. Living three blocks away, she is the consummate girl "almost" next door. I can't remember a time when she wasn't in my life...we go way back, having met when I was only one day ole. I've included a picture of her stealing a kiss, something she does quite often. Can you believe that her dad, also pictured here, lets her get away with it! I'm very glad that the Peruvian authorities prohibit foreigners from bringing shot guns with them.



By the way, her mom is pretty hot as well. Here is a picture of Beth and I out to lunch way back in my 7th month. Can anyone say Mrs. Robinson?

Next up is my girl Naomi. Fortunately she and Rory are friends, so I get to see both of them quite frequently. Unfortunately, she is only here for another 4.5 months, so I'm trying to see has much of her as I can, when she isn't busy jetsetting around Peru. I've included a picture of her...trying to steal a kiss. Is anyone beginning to notice a pattern here? Now her mom, Lori, is a tall drink of water. But unfortunately, I don't have any picture of her and I...something that we are going to have to remedy.


Then we have sweet Lillian. Now, the first few times that I walked into the room, she would scream as if the Beatles or Elvis had just walked into the room. Now, I know that I am good-looking and thoroughly irresistible but I do try to maintain a low profile.


And did I mention that her mom, Lis, is quite the looker as well. Here we are, celebrating her birthday. She swore me to secrecy, though, so I can't tell you how old she is. Let's just say that she is still super young.


I usually like to stick to girls my own age, but this next lady is someone very special. She makes me laugh. And she deserves special mention since she just went through 9.5 months and 5.5 hours of effort to bring me a new friend, Issac, who is just a little over 3 weeks old but I can't wait to teach him all my tricks for wooing the ladies. But back to Linsey: here we are getting cozy just before she left in December. I've missed her so and am looking forward to her return in just a few short weeks.


And last but not least, is my number one girl....mama. She's the best!









All you ladies who I haven't mentioned yet, don't fret. I've run out of time because I have to go program the t.v. so that my parents can watch Lost and then have to pack for my big trip to Arequipa tomorrow. But some near future post will be dedicated to the rest of you...you know who you are.


In closing, I have included a recent and super cute photo of me.

Thinking of you all on this very special day.

XOXO,

Baby Sebastian

These boots were made for walkin'

Ok, Ok- so they aren't exactly boots but a pair of very stylish Robeez, Monkey Feet to be exact. I am happy to report that on Christmas Eve I started taking my first steps and haven't stopped since. And while my gait is still similar to that of a drunken sailor, running is no doubt just around the corner....much to my parent's chagrin.

For your viewing pleasure, I have included a very cute video (ok, 2 videos) of me being...well, very cute.



So watch out, because one of these days these Robeez are gonna walk all over you.

XOXO,

Sebastian



P.S. - Na na na

My birthday - belated

Hi all,

Now, I don't want you to think this post title means my parents forgot my birthday because they didn't. Heck, I know you all celebrated my Bday in your own special ways. What is belated is only this update. One of many belated updates I need to post.

Anyway, here in Peru we celebrated in style, with lots of amigos and their parents over to my casa for a rocking party. Unfortunately, my parents nixed the idea of vodka-infused cake. What can I say, they are super square. This photo here is a small slice of my guests, all roaming and playing and having a merry time. Really, December 27 is truly a day for celebration.

But wait, there's more (and I am not talking about a second set of steak knives, free... though you can help yourselves to my parents' set if you really want some). Most importantly, there's me doing my happy dance while the gang sang Happy Birthday. Now, just because I hadn't had a birthday before doesn't mean I didn't know the song. I am a very popular guest at toddler birthdays, I'll have you know.

Now, the cake was pretty good. It was a carrot cake and both sweet, yummy, and comparatively healthy. However, I need to tell you about a much more important, and tasty, discovery. They're called "cookies". Specifically, "chocolate chip cookies". Now that may be a silly name, and definitely way too long. But, you can call them whatever you want so long as I can have an endless supply of them. I demand these treats on a regular basis. Again, let me state that these things are awesome and you should definitely try them. You won't be disappointed.

Anyway, more photos and cute dialogue. Here's what every parent wants -- a cute photo with their child on their birthday. I've got a big smile b/c I am still thinking about those cookies.

Meanwhile, every child wants a super cool trike on their birthday! Thanks Abuelitos Pablo and Olga!

Well, thanks for checking in! My birthday was awesome. Best one I've had so far. Of course, it woulda been better had all my friends from around the globe been able to join me. Maybe next year. For now, I say ADIOS. And, please, do not forget to try cookies. They are really, really good!



XOXO,

The 1 year old Sea Bass
