Movin' on Up - Part II

I realize I am ridiculously behind on my blog posts (weird) but I wanted to take the time to acknowledge another "big" milestone for our little man (I promise I will catch up soon/eventually).  As of today (7/1/14), he has officially moved up to the first toddler room at school.  I've been mentally preparing myself for this change and I know that the teachers have also done their part in prepping both myself and Sebastian.  As a result, I surprisingly didn't cry but I did get a little emotional when we veered off to the right as opposed to straight into  the comfort of the infant room from the lobby.  

I'm happy to report that Sebastian didn't blink an eye with the move - in fact, he's happier than ever because he gets to reconnect with the kids he started with; his closest buddies.  Plus, I think he likes it because they have more toys and a jungle gym in his new area.  ;)  His new teacher, Miss Sylvia, said that he was laughing and playing all day long, hanging out with his best bud Steven, ate at the table with a spoon (mostly his hands), and slept like a champ for the first time in his cot.  He's not walking yet but is oh so close (I'm thinking its a confidence thing with a touch of laziness) and I'm guessing that with all his new and mostly walking counterparts he'll be at it in no time!

His daddy is happy because we're paying a little less than when Sebastian was in the infant room AND we don't have to bring anymore bottles in…yippee for a drastic decline in bottle washing!  :)  We officially have a toddler…yikes!  :) 

Here are pics of his last two days in the infant room: 

Movin' on Up!

Oh my goodness... we have a big boy on our hands! Well, it happened. This morning, one of Sebastian's teachers informed me that he has officially graduated from Infant Room A to Infant Room B.  I realize this sounds absolutely ridiculous but I think if I weren't running late for work (per usual) I probably would've shed a baby tear!  ;) 

There really isn't a big difference between the two rooms - its just that he's no longer one of the teeniest, youngest kids at the daycare anymore.  Yet another sign that time is going by so, so fast!  In Infant Room B, all the kids are still under the age of 1 but they're more mobile than the newborns (obviously).  Most of them are crawling and some are even walking!  Prior to today, Sebastian has already spent some time in this room but he's still just rolling around and getting in crawling position to drag his lower half across the floor with his strong little arms.  I think being in this room will actually be good for him because he'll probably be more motivated to move around like the other "big kids" and the babies/his buds that he started school with were also just recently moved there!  (Reunited and it feels so gooooood...)  :) 

Anyway, just like any other obsessed mommy, I had to take a picture of this momentous occasion!  :)  Here he is with his favorite stuffed carrot.  Note: He's not entirely able to sit up without assistance yet but his teachers think its because he really just loves to roll and hates being stationary.  What I failed to capture is the moment in between these two pictures where he gets a funny little smirk on his face before letting loose and dropping a deuce.  Hence his comfy and content position in the second photo.  ;)
