Mommy Making Sean Laugh

Another Sean Walking Video

Here's another video of Sean walking. We took this yesterday, pretty good improvement in a week. It's amazing how fast babies pick things up. Pretty soon we'll be chasing him as he runs away from us :).

Grazing on the Green

Yesterday we visited Aptos for the annual 'Grazing on the Green' event that's put on by the Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group. We went last year when Sean was 6 weeks old, and this year for the second time. It is an awesome time, tons of booths with food and wine tasting. We sampled Starz cupcakes, Jeff enjoyed the Harris Ranch beef, and a ton of other stuff. Sean had a great time walking around but he'd had enough fun around 3pm or so and was ready to go home. Here are few pictures, we didn't take many unfortunately. Enjoy.

Sean Walking and Babbling

Here's another one of Sean walking toward me and then sitting down to babble. I need a baby interpreter because it seems like whatever he is saying is really important.

Walking Sean

The "Sean-Can't-Walk-Yet" era is over. He is still a little bit shaky, but is showing daily improvement as well as increased desire to walk rather than crawl.

Update...

- This blog has definitely changed over the last year. It used to be about me coming up with interesting things to share about my thoughts and life. Then, once Sean was born, Narduzzi Nation turned into Sean Nation. Each post was to share with you a milestone, a funny video, or something we did with him or bought for him. Lately, the posts have been very infrequent, as I've struggled to find motivation to post. I hope the motivation comes back.

- I went to a bachelor party in Las Vegas last weekend. It was my first time going there for fun since my bachelor party, and I was excited to go back. This time staying at Mandalay Bay, my luck at the blackjack table was non-existent, and I quickly gave up gambling. To me I'm either going to win or I'm not. I don't keep going back to the "you-always-win" slot machine also known as the ATM machine to get more money to try to recover what I've already lost. Not worth it. Nevertheless, it was an expensive weekend. Ouch. But lots of fun too.

- Darcy and I are taking Sean to the Santa Clara womens volleyball game tomorrow. Should be interesting. I'm not sure who they're playing.

- Our third year anniversary is September 16th. It's amazing that she and I have almost been together now for a third of our lives. We are very lucky to have each other.

- I'm watching Federer right now dismantle Soderling in the US Open quarterfinals. It's amazing how good he is, but I've never been a big fan.

- Even though the Giants have kept me interested this year, I don't believe they can make the playoffs this year. Their hitters just can't score enough runs consistently. I hope I'm wrong about them falling short.

- I'm very busy these days with sports. On Mondays after work I play softball, and on Tuesdays I play basketball. It's a new league at Fremont High School in Sunnyvale.

- Darcy and I stand a good chance of some big changes fairly soon in our lives. We're pretty excited but also nervous. When things get a little more official I'll provide details.
