Update: Seth









 


Oh, this little boy...He is so funny! And so messy! (Seriously though, he is one of the messiest eaters we've ever had.) Everything he does is so freakin cute that I have a million videos of him on my phone doing fairly ordinary things made awesome by the fact that Seth does everything cute-ly. Putting lotion on his bear, feeding his bear, saying prayers, being so sweet to Eden ("Hi baby girl!"). Even the way he runs is film-able. He loves "gooks" (books), almond milk & has just recently gotten into a few Tv shows- Elmo, Kipper the Dog, Curious George & Baby Einstein videos.

Seth has an amazing vocab too. He can say anything from "as-a-naut" (astronaut) to "cot can-nee" (cotton candy) to complete sentences. Because he is able to express himself so easily, we entered the boundary-testing stage a little sooner than most. And it's hard. Why?... because he's so cute! He has recently taken to "shag-a-hair" (shagging/pulling hair), I think because he is trying to fit in with his older brothers' rough play. He calls every action hero Superman.

He is our worst sleeper. He wakes up more often than Eden now. Granted, he just finished cutting 7 teeth & has had colds and ear infections off and on, but still...Fortunately Nate gets up with him at night. 

He has a smile that can light up a room- it's infectious. He loves to be helpful. One of his favorite things to do is to help Nate take out the garbage. Nate will usually take the bag of trash & have the older two boys take the recycling. Seth will heave the empty garbage container out of its cupboard & run outside after them carrying it. The thing is almost as big as he is! 

We are so grateful for our little Sethie. He is so sweet & a bright spot in our family!
