20 month update

Well, i am a few days behind, but Seth is now 20 months old! I just can't believe it. As stated in my previous post, Seth has been really cranky. Well yesterday he woke up crying real tears and it lasted for a good hour. He couldn't settle down so i was unable to get him to daycare. On top of cutting his canines over the past month, he has also had a cold for the past week and a half. This very well could have contributed to his crankiness, but one of the first words he said when he woke up yesterday was "ears". I knew something wasn't right by the way he was crying and i believe he was really telling me that his ears hurt. I decided to take him to the doc and sure enough he had the beginning of an ear infection. The doc even asked him which ear hurt and Seth pointed to it and said "ear". The doc was amazed by how well Seth can communicate and tell us what was wrong. Seth talked throughout the whole visit with the doc and after the doc poked and prodded, Seth said "all done" and then tried to rush the doc out of the room by saying "bye bye" over and over. When we got home, we gave him some antibiotics and ibuprofin and he was a brand new little boy! He was in the best mood i have seen him in for a while and he talked nonstop. He was saying words that i have never heard him say before and labeling every object he saw. We got him a hamburger for lunch and he pointed at it and said "hamburga...yay". At dinner he had some grapes and when he finished them he gave me his plate and said "more grapes pease". Honestly in one day he just bumped his vocabulary to a whole new level. It is very exciting! Along with saying "a b c", he can now count to "one, two, twee". I introduced him to sesamestreet.org, which now i feel is a mistake. :) He always wants to go get on the computer now and see "monkers" (monsters).
On another note, the STL area received a 36 hour long snowfall! We got about 6-8 inches and all i can say is that i should not have gone to work today. I slid a few times and most of the roads weren't even plowed. Very scary, but now i'm here and can't go home!
