Today my baby is 4 months old! Can't believe how fast it's going!
It has been so fun to see Tristan react to Sebastian. This was an almost 3-year-old Russian boy who rarely smiled and couldn't maintain eye contact. He had plenty of emotional walls in place, and really most of them came down before Sebastian came along. Now he is a happy-go-lucky 5-year-old who simply melts around his baby brother. He is very aware of where Sebastian is and what he is doing. He loves to kiss Sebastian's cheek and win smiles from the little guy. He is going to be a great big brother!
I brought out a little baby activity bar for Sebastian. He loves it and is already grabbing on to some of the toys!
He also loves this vibrating teether!
It is amazing to watch them learn to use their little hands and fingers. You can tell that it is still very difficult to manipulate them. Usually he has his hands tightly grasping each other either resting on his chest or crammed in his mouth like this.
But, often when his binky is starting to fall out, he will push it back in with the back of his right hand. It is wonderful to see him be able to play with his baby toys.
Sebastian isn't the only one who loves his new toy bar!
Emma remembered a video where Isabelle was a baby lying under this toybar and little 4-year-old Emma was acting out a puppet show on top of it, making Isabelle laugh hysterically. So, she made up another puppet show to entertain her siblings.

Oooh...He is too sweet! I love that his 5 year old brother is so in love with him. What a sweetheart! Time just flies, can't believe he is already 4 months old.
Looks like you guys had a great St. Patty's day. Fun to have kids old enough to enjoy the holidays!
Your children's names are exquisite. (Well....maybe I should just say, they are they names I might have chosen myself!!)
If Lydia had been a boy, she would have been Sebastian, and Tristan was a close second; we love All Creatures Great and Small.
What a big boy - he looks like a baby Tristan! Wow! Can't wait to see all of you in August!
