Last night i overheard Seth and Daddy talking...
Daddy: "Seth, do you love daddy?"
Seth: "I do" (he says this everytime we ask him that)
A few seconds go by...
Seth: "mama too".

New phrases and other things
Seth has begun saying a few new phrases lately. Won't be long and he will be talking in complete sentences! Here are a few of his phrases (i'm sure i have forgotten a few):
--"i don't like this" or "i like this"
--"hold this"...he says this when he wants me to hold something that he no longer wants to hold, like a sippy cup.
--"i watch this"...he says this when he looks through his DVD book and finds something he wants to watch.
--"help me"
--"Where mama/dada go?"
--"sethie want juice/milk" and "mama get milk/juice"
--"i be back"...he says this when he asks for something and i tell him i will go get it and will be right back.
--"i get it"...he says this when he drops something
--"kitty eat it"...he says this when he drops food on the floor because he knows the cat will eat it.
A few other things he does lately is he is labeling everything as Mama's or Dada's or Sethie's. (i love when he calls himself Sethie). We even have assigned seats at the dinner table, and when he knows he is not supposed to touch something he says "it's mama's/dadda's". He also suprised me the other day and named 3 shapes and put them in the correct hole on the shape sorter. He was able to identify a circle, square and triangle and even said their correct names. He also has gotten better at identifying colors. He still doesn't always get them correct, but at least not everything is "lellow" anymore. He now knows red, yellow, blue, green and orange. Another fun thing he is learning about is what has tails and what doesn't. He was very fascinated with all of his stuffed animals' tails and he kept trying to look behind him to see if he too had a tail. Now when we ask him if he or mama or dada has a tail, he says "NO", but ask him if a monkey, tiger or elephant has a tell and he excitedly says "YES!". He is also an excellent little helper. He likes to help me vaccuum and sweep, and the other night he got to help mom and dad cook! He really enjoyed scrambling an egg. I just love this stage. So much is happening and he is so eager to learn new things.

Our boy
Seth has turned into such a little boy! No more babies in our house...at least for now. However, with him becoming a little boy he is also acting like a little boy and is enjoying rough housing maybe a little too much. He will run full speed and tackle you usually resulting in mama, dada or Seth getting an "owie". All weekend he wanted to tackle us and wrestle. It's a little too much and we now have to find a way to tone it down without taking away the fun. We also did a video conference on the computer with Nonna and Nonno. Seth really got into it and kept "showing off" by dancing and growling at the camera. He also sang his ABC's for them. He was so funny and we all had a good laugh. Along with his recent aggressiveness, Seth was a little difficult this past weekend with frequent tantrums. However in all fairness to him, he was diagnosed with Strep on Thursday and is also starting to cut his 2 year molars, sooooooo i think he has a good excuse to be a little moody!

Easter Egg hunt trial run
I bought Seth some plastic Easter Eggs and decided to practice finding them and putting them in his basket so he will be in tip top shape for his first Easter Egg hunt. He did absolutely great on the 1st trial run and then by the 2nd run he was holding his own basket and running around the living room finding the eggs and putting them in his basket. I think he's ready and i can't wait!
Problem Solving
I love to sit back sometimes and just watch Seth at play. He is at that stage where things are very frustrating to him, like if he can't open something or do something that he wants to he gets very mad, but when he figures it out on his own he is very pleased with himself. A lot of times he will give up and ask for help, but last night he figured out a solution to a problem he had with absolutely no help from me. Every night before bath i will help Seth take off a piece of clothing one by one and he will put it in his clothes hamper. Well last night we took his shoes and socks off. He was trying to carry both pairs of socks and both pairs of shoes at the same time, but he couldn't quite do it. He tried a few times with no success, and finally he figured out a solution...he stuffed one sock into one shoe and the other sock into the other shoe and then was able to carry them all off to the hamper. He was so proud of himself!
