4th of July weekend update

We had such a wonderful 4th of July weekend with Seth. We went to a friends house to celebrate and had a blast. I was very impressed that Seth actually slept through 7 screaming kids and an amazing fireworks display. He never even made a peep and when we brought him back home around midnight, he went right back to bed!
Seth also said 3 more words to add to the list. He said "hi", "bye bye", and "dog". Whenever we go for a walk now and Seth sees a dog, he points at it and yells out "doy doy" but we know he means "dog". :) Also, Seth has mastered a few toys that we have at home. Jerry really worked with him this weekend and taught him how to sort shapes and put them in their correct hole. He also taught him how to work a pop up animal toy where Seth has to push, pull and turn knobs so that animals pop up. And lastly, Seth has learned how to use his stacking ring toy. He is really into stacking his toys and putting objects inside things. I have also noticed that when he plays with toy cars he makes a "vrrrrrmmmm" sound. Very cute.
Seth is also very into books lately. That is the very first thing he wants to do when he wakes up in the morning and the last thing he wants to do at night! He especially loves this animal sound book that we have and when we got to the part where the sheep says "baaaa baaaa" he repeated it and said "ba ba".
I used to say that when Seth was 7-8 months that that was my favorite stage, but now i will definitely have to say that this is my favorite stage. He really does amaze me everyday at all the new things he does and how quickly he catches on. I hated sending him off to daycare this morning because i just don't want to miss anything!Jerry and I were just discussing how much fun we are having with Seth. He is such a blast and when we have play time, the whole family really plays and gets into to it. It doesn't get much better than this!
