Oh! How I've missed you blog. It's been a whirlwind of activity in the Mak Attack household. Where do I even begin? It seems as though it was just yesterday that I was updating our Easter get away...Alas, it's been a while!
In the past few months Seb has experienced so many new and exciting adventures. To start off, on Easter weekend he found out that he was going to have a COUSIN! That's right, my big sis is having a baby!
Evone and Gavin gave everyone an egg with a hidden message underneath it, this is what the message read!
FINALLY! And it's a BOY!!!!! These two are gonna tear up our houses. I can't wait! It's been so much fun chatting and texting with her about this crazy (and fulfilling) life she's about to inherit. Evone, you're gonna love it! We are thrilled! And so very thankful you took all of our baby stuff right before we moved.

We closed on our Orangewood house on July 18th and ever since then I feel like I've stepped into a time tunnel that's caused time to speed up exponentially. Since then Seb has spent Father's day at the Longhorn Caverns:
All by myself!
Swinging on the swing right before the cavern tour
Attended one of the coolest birthday parties ever for his pal Fafa (Niva):
This yellow bird is freaky!
Hung out with the crew:

AAAAND peed on the potty!!!!
Seb was sitting on the couch after drinking half a cup of milk and showed me the potty sign. I asked him if he needed to use the potty and he said yes. So, i took his duck potty out and instead of sitting on the potty, he put Mr. Blue in it. Pat and I chuckled and thought that was a clever little trick. HOWEVER, after playing around with Mr. Blue, Seb sat on the ducky himself and pee peed and then yelled for his potty book! This is now deemed the potty "bible" in the Maki household, of course! It has stickers in it and I let him choose one. I could tell he was very proud of himself. Theeeen, he asked to go again but ran to the bathroom and sat on his big boy potty. How he knew to do this, is beyond me.
Preschool's first day was two Thursday's ago (I really am going to try to update these blog posts sooner, I promise) and he absolutely loved it! Ms. Suzy is amazing. She has a degree from UT and has been teaching at the preschool for over 3 years. I feel very blessed that Karen found this place! Thanks Karen from saving me from doing a lot of preschool research :) This preschool is part of Crestview United Methodist Church. It was built in the 60's and has such a charming atmosphere. The best part is that's it's .8 miles away from the house!! Bike rides to school, here we come! Seb did so well. He didn't cry at all when Pat and I left. And furthermore, he didn't ask for Sali the WHOLE ENTIRE time he was there!
Are you gonna leave me here???
Yes! A Phone!
Ms. Suzy and my boy
What a summer it has been! Today was the first cooler day of the season. It only reached 91! Can't wait for fall......
