With help from my sister, I finally have decided to start a blog page for Seth so that our family and friends can keep up with what's going on in our lives. Thanks Lauren! So where do I even be
gin? Seth turned 1 on May 25th. We had a huge party for him with family in Georgia. It was lots of fun. I found myself looking back on his first year and realizing how fast it went. I remember bringing him back from the hospital and not knowing what to do with this little person! He weighed 9 lbs 6 oz at birth, but he was still so tiny. I remember the hard nights with little to no sleep and just trying to make it through those first couple of months. Most of all though, I remember his first smile, his first laugh, the first time he rolled over and the first time he reached out for me, the day he started crawling, the first time he gave me a "kiss", and now we are celebrating his first year of life and with that came his first steps. It has been such an amazing journey and we are so blessed to have this sweet little boy in our lives. I am so amazed by him every day. Just recently it's like the light has been turned on and everything is clicking in his little head. He learns something new everyday! He points at everything, waves, gives "kisses", claps and gives "fives", dances everytime he hears music, says mama, dada, momomo for "more", uhoh, ca for "cat", and good. He is so sweet and "loves on" everything especially his stuffed animals and Simon, our cat. When reading books, if he sees a cat on the page he will lean in and kiss the book. He is a very active boy and never sits still for a second, but when he is sick he loves to snuggle with momma. He has 4 teeth but is working on 4 more at this very moment. He currently weighs 24 lbs 6 oz and gained 10 inches since birth. He loves taking baths and although he rarely cries, he does cry when I take him out of the bath tub because he loves it so much. He has always been a good sleeper 11-12 hours a night since he was 2 mon
ths old and is just everything we could have hoped for and then some. Currently his new thing is learning to hold more than 2 objects at one time. He will try to hold as much as he can in his little hands and is figuring out new ways to do just that. Sometimes he will grab 1 object and put it in his mouth and then pick up other objects with his 2 hands so he can carry as much as possible. He amazed me yesterday when he was carrying a cup in each hand when he stumbled across a toy in his path. He wanted so badly to pick it up, but his hands were full. After a little thought, he dropped one of his cups he was holding, picked up the toy on the ground, put the toy into the cup he dropped and then picked up the cup with the toy inside. I am convinced that our son is a genious!!! :) Okay, well I could go on and on, but I had a years worth of catching up to do and I'm sure I have left out so much, but I will now continue to update this page as often as possible!
