Eat, Sleep, Play, Repeat

Last week I wanted to do post with a side by side comparison of Sebastian over his first year to see how much he'd grown and changed, but life got in the way.  He got sick, and taking care of a sick kiddo is a ton of work.  On Wednesday he woke up and was cranky all morning, but I was hopeful it was teething.  When I picked him up from daycare they said he was clingy and needy all day.  By 8PM he had a high fever.  The fever lingered all day on Thursday and I pretty much had to hold him the entire day.  He wanted nothing but Mommy.  He finally broke the fever on Friday morning, but then had a rash for two days.  I took him to the doctor on Saturday to make sure the rash wasn't anything too serious, and finally, that night he slept for 12 hours straight after two long nights of restless, sicky sleep.

Adam does a great job documenting Sebastian with his iPhone.  Sometimes it's a hassle to dig out my big camera for a few spontaneous shots and grabbing your phone is quicker and easier - which is often good when taking pictures of a baby since they don't sit still for more than a split second unless they're asleep.  All the pictures in the collage are unedited camera phone pictures (not that I do much editing to my pictures to begin with, other than adjust some brightness levels), so this is a 'real deal' glimpse into 'everyday' life, haha!

Sebastian went from just under 6 pounds at birth, to just over 20 pounds at his one-year check up.  He grew  about 7 inches during those 12 months, and he had 4 hair cuts before his first birthday.  All these pictures make me feel like the first year flew by!
