Boy Oh Boy!.... is time flying! Sean is now 16 months. He's about 23 lbs. He's a good size! It seems like he is getting heavier by the day.
Sean is doing great! He enjoyed getting dedicated at church last Sunday and he enjoyed dressing up as a Spider for Halloween tonight.
Sean's Godparents are his Uncle Stan (Daddy's brother) and Tia Valeria (Mommy's sister).

Waving Goodbye & Eating Portuguese Food
Sean is still our Baby boy, but soon he will be a Toddler. He is changing and beginning to look more and more like a Toddler and less and less like a baby.
This week Sean started waving Goodbye!
Sean eats everything we eat (with a few exceptions). He loves food especially when Avo makes him something to eat. Sean is 1/2 Portuguese and it really shows when he eats Avo's home cooked meals.
Sean is becoming more active. He is still crawling all over the house. He doesn't stand on his own yet, but last night Daddy let go of Sean and he stood on his own for about 3 seconds.
He loves playing with toys and flipping through his books. Sean interacts when read to, he points at the pictures in the book and babbles.
When we take away something he really enjoys playing with like our cell phones or the TV remote control, Sean cries. This is typical of babies his age. It's his way of communicating.
Sean enjoys going for walks in the stroller and going to the nearby park.
He loves going for car rides.
We've been attending church fairly regularly on Sundays. Sean is very friendly and reaches out his arms for people to hold him.
This weekend, we plan to take Sean to a local pumpkin patch to pick up a few pumpkins. On Sunday, Sean will be dedicated at church.
What is Baby Dedication? (for those who do not know)
Christian parents who dedicate a child are making a promise to the Lord to do everything within their power to raise the child in a godly way, prayerfully until he or she can make a decision on his or her own to follow God. Parents who make this vow of commitment are instructed to raise the child in the ways of God, and not according to their own ways. Some of the responsibilities include teaching and training the child in God's Word, demonstrating an example of godliness, disciplining according to God's ways, and praying earnestly for the child.

Pointing, Sharing and Babbling
Wow! What changes in Sean since turning 1 year corrected on October 3rd. He is now a TRUE 1 year old! It's very exciting for all of us. :)
He is right on track developmentally. He began pointing this week. We give him a choice between which two books he would like read to him and he points at the one he wants.
He is sharing! When he picks up his food with his fingers, he not only feeds himself, but Mommy and Daddy too.
Sean has been babbling so much in the past week. When someone speaks to him, sometimes he will reply in his "baby language."
Sean continues to crawl everywhere!
We are enjoying Sean's growth and development.
We love you Sean!

Happy 15th month Birthday Sean!
Sean turned 15 months on September 29th. He is growing so fast. We can't believe how big he is!
What's most exciting lately is that Sean is beginning to understand. We ask him, "Where's your book?" He goes to his books. "Where's your blankie?" He goes to his blankie. When he's hungry, he tells us by placing his hand near his mouth. It's very exciting that Sean is understanding and he is trying to communicate by using gestures (non-verbal communication).
