Birthday Monkey





Here is Sebastian wearing the monkey shirt and socks he got for his birthday. The first two pictures show two different phases of his "deliberate smile," which he has recently developed. When he is trying to smile, he tilts his head backwards, squints up his eyes, and grits his teeth. He seems to think this is the correct way to produce a smile on demand. Sometimes he also shakes his head back and forth really fast as part of this process. I think he looks quite rugged and dashing in that first picture, don't you?

In the last two pictures he is trying to remove his socks. (These show his real smile.)
