Hey there little man. You got to hang out with some of my friends again today. This particular time it was Joel and Randy. You seem to like them both a lot. I really enjoy seeing you interact with my various childhood friends. Always remember that they’ll look out for you as if you were [...]

You decided to walk today!

July 9, 2011

It was actually pretty funny the way it happened. Your mother and I took you to Monkey Jungle (had a great time by the way…cool place) and while we were watching King the Gorilla you decided to pick up a big stick and start walking around on your own. And you were really good. You [...]

Taking those first steps

June 21, 2011

Today you finally decided that you were up for taking a handful of steps on your own after I forced you to let go of my hand. You’re a careful baby, so up until now, you’ve always dropped down to your knees when I did that, because you knew you’d be safe that way. But [...]

My second father’s day with you

June 20, 2011

Was intense! We spent the morning a big family breakfast at Lario’s in South Miami. You basically spent the entire time walking around inside and outside the restaurant (you’ve got crazy energy). Then you and I basically hung out around the house with your mom the rest of the day. You’re a very affectionate, energetic, [...]

Your first new year

I wouldn’t be [...]

You hit the eight month-mark today

October 24, 2010

Hey little buddy. You hit the eight-month mark today and we celebrated by taking you to the beach. You had a great time playing with sand, hanging out with friends, and being a tough little boy when we got caught in a sudden rain storm. You’re already crawling, standing, talking (well babbling) and generally being [...]

Slow Dance Poem Lyrics

October 8, 2010

Hey Sebastian! Guess what? You learned how to crawl this week. You’re well on your way towards full independence. I’m usually not into these kinds of things but this particular poem caught my eye.

Don’t go into business with loved ones

September 16, 2010

Hey little Sebastian. It’s going to be a long time before you have to worry about this but I figured I would share this idea with you anyway. Don’t go into business with friends or family. Occasionally, it will work out, but more often than not you will end up with a bad taste in [...]
