So many things...

Every day Seth discovers something new or does something new. This is such a fun stage! This weekend alot has happened...where do i begin?
1. Now when I ask Seth if he wants to go outside, he will go get his shoes and bring them to me. Sometimes when he can't find his shoes he brings me mine or daddy's instead. I then ask him to sit so I can put them on and he sits right down!
2. Most of you know that Seth is very much into dancing. He finds rhythm in pretty much anything that makes noise. Of course he loves music, but he also dances to the washing machine, sprinklers and yesterday he started dancing when our neighbor started his car up and drove off!
3. Along with dancing, Seth has discovered how to spin around in circles. He loves it when daddy picks him up and spins him around, but now he has figured out how to make himself dizzy without daddy's help.
4. Seth is fascinated with dogs now. Everytime he sees one he says "bow wow wow wow".
5. He now has a vocabulary of about 20 words. He doesn't say them all the time but every now and then a few words come out. Seth really studies your mouth when you talk and tries to mimic what you say. For example, we said pajamas to him the other day and he made the P sound but he couldn't say the word. He will sometimes repeat easy words that you say also. Yesterday when I took him outside, I pointed to a tree and kept saying "tree" and all of the sudden he repeated it back to me. He is catching on so fast.
6. In addition to the words, Jerry and I honestly feel that Seth understands just about everything we say to him. He knows all of his stuffed animals by name and if we ask him to bring us a specific one, he gets the exact one we asked for. Same with anything else...if we ask for his shoes, pajamas, blankie, dinosaur toy, he knows exactly which one to get. Now when we say "are you ready to eat?", he runs to his highchair and starts pushing it around the kitchen.
7. A couple of his newest accomplishments that he likes to practice over and over is to put things back exactly where he found them and I mean exactly! He found this little stuffed bear that I had given Jerry one valentine's day on Jerry's nightstand. Well he took it out of the bedroom and brought it to the family room and played with it a bit. After about 30 minutes, he took off down the hall with it and I followed him to see what he was doing. I found him in our bedroom putting the bear back on Jerry's nightstand. He has also done this with our shoes that he finds on the shoe rack in the utility room and he even took a magnetic picture off of our fridge yesterday, walked around with it for a few minutes and then put it back onto the fridge!
8. Seth is definitely turning into a mama's boy. Although I don't think cutting molars helps his cause, but he has been especially clingy to me. He plays for a little while and then comes running to me saying "mama mama" and throws his arms around me. Although the cuddling only last maybe 1 second, 2 if I'm lucky, I'll take anything I can get!
Here are a few recent pictures of Seth:
