I am a bad mom. REALLY bad. Seth is super grown up now, how am I ever going to remember all the cute and adorable stuff he's been doing. Well, I guess I'll just have to keep up from now on! <br /><br />Tonight Seth sang with me the "moon, moon, moon" song before going to bed.<br />He is using multiple words, not really in sentences, but close. He asked for help today. He is trying to communicate through words. He is so damn cute!Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-38365663739166783412008-08-15T09:17:00.002-04:002008-08-15T09:19:12.367-04:00You finally did it!You were in the kitchen, in your highchair eating breakfast with your daddy.

We finally moved into our new house last weekend and boy are we all glad that's over with!!!! We still have a lot of unpacking to do but you seem to just go with the flow and are settling in nicely. We have to get a move on things so we can stop walking around boxes! My goal is to get the living room baby-proofed so you and I can hang out together and you don't have to be in jail! I know you will like that much better! You didn't sleep that well last night, we probably let you stay up too late. Love you baby!Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-4565271277748464852008-05-27T10:16:00.002-04:002008-05-27T10:18:36.609-04:00"Ssssss"This morning while I was changing your diaper I gave you the letter S to hold so you don't squirm so much.

Taking a nice afternoon nap on this Memorial Day weekend. I've been a bad mom and haven't updated anything in such a long time. We're all stressed out right now about the house situation. We'll know more on Tuesday about that. But GREAT NEWS about you today son... You took THREE steps on your own today. You started taking one and two steps yesterday when we were at Central Park with dad, it was so cute. But today, wow... you're on your way to full on walking now!!! I'm so proud of you.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-45578368707966595962008-05-02T11:17:00.001-04:002008-05-02T11:17:43.768-04:00Son, may I present...

Grandma Ellie just left us two days ago, after a long visit. We all had so much fun! But, I'll never go "out to lunch" again! We are still trying to find a good house to live in. We're going to put an offer in on one tonight. But, we're not going to get "happy" about it unless they accept, or counter us with a reasonable price. Until then it's just business. Today is our first swim class at the YMCA. Can't wait!Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-77026862811763280582008-04-06T23:06:00.002-04:002008-04-06T23:10:34.962-04:00WeekendMy dear son, you are such a great boy to have around. You put up with so much traveling, you qualify to be a saint! Today we took you with us on yet ANOTHER house hunting adventure. The good thing is we finally found a house we could live in. It gives us hope there is a house for our family yet! Oh, and the best news of today is that you didn't wake up this moring until 7:40am! Well over an HOUR after you usually wake up. And then you took over three and a half hours of naps today too!!! It must be momma's lucky day! I love you cutie pie!Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-1402697176993296812008-03-30T19:07:00.002-04:002008-03-30T19:12:21.484-04:00WowWow Seth, it's been a while since I wrote anything here. You had a great 12-month check up at your Doctor's office. You are 31 inches long (tall boy!) and weigh 19 and some odd oz's (I forgot) So you're kinda skinny. I love you so much. You are starting to drink a little bit of whole milk each day. Tomorrow I'm going to put away all the baby bottles except one for your before bed bottle. We're going to go shopping for more sippy cups. You're getting to be such a big boy now. This weekend you had fun with your Uncle Bob and soon to be Aunt Anna. They played with you and bought you some cool birthday presents. You just fell asleep for the night, you cried a bit because I think you were over tired from all the playing this weekend. You also only took one nap today, so tomorrow it's back to two naps a day, at least for a few more weeks I think. Well, got to go take Gus outside. Love, Mom.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-25041612398705335442008-03-19T11:57:00.002-04:002008-03-19T11:59:17.064-04:00Happy Birthday Son<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjClYVKVL25uPnZ-Wzn6L-lBSU78Wi5O8aXX8rja0ywOdqALUwjgp26clKR568IEa24eTCQ9X9Ys8zrWhyoDv3wGLQw5wG76qJQzhziUJtn4-WkOs_BYEBckLNAP4Yus-ABDORIcOuth3c/s1600-h/DSC04059.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjClYVKVL25uPnZ-Wzn6L-lBSU78Wi5O8aXX8rja0ywOdqALUwjgp26clKR568IEa24eTCQ9X9Ys8zrWhyoDv3wGLQw5wG76qJQzhziUJtn4-WkOs_BYEBckLNAP4Yus-ABDORIcOuth3c/s320/DSC04059.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179482954544157570" /></a><br />Well, I kept you alive for a year now Seth.

I won tickets in a lotto drawing and we got to sit in the 2nd row. We had a great time, but we missed you. You hung out with your daddy and Aunt Jennifer and Grandma and Grandpa White. When Aunt Stephie and I got home you had a new trick. Grandma White taught you how to clap your hands. You look terribly cute doing it little Seth. You are just the cutest baby EVER!<br />Love, MomSarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-76085187156939349042008-03-13T22:13:00.001-04:002008-03-13T22:17:06.322-04:00New ToothSeth, you seem to have a new tooth popping in. This time it's on the top. Yay! It's about time! We thought you were only going to have two bottom teeth only for the rest of your life. But let me tell you, it's making you VERY cranky. Tonight was the worst in a long time and it's only 10:00pm. Hopefully you sleep well tonight. Tomorrow we pick up Aunt Stephie from the airport! I'm so excited!!!!!! I love you Seth, I hate seeing you in pain!Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-34094107456273373322008-03-12T00:28:00.005-04:002008-03-12T00:45:10.639-04:00Super Smarty Pants part twoWhile we were at my doctor appointment this morning you were a very good boy! You sat in your stroller and read your book. You only threw it on the floor for me to pick up about 3 or 4 times, much less than usual! But the best part was the doctor was watching you read and look around and babble and she said you were very observant for a child of your age and that you appeared very intelligent! She also commented that you had advanced verbal skills. See, you are a super genius baby. Please grow up and be very rich and take care of your mom! Thank you! Here's a rather long video. I haven't edited it yet. But in the middle it shows how creative you are for finding other uses for you foot! <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzK09gJzpFel6mMqLEAbgBvXq5OKhIrJUHqu0smrV09BgLFMcurTykqEn0ELUi-j657sn3-8s3dC89_vQ-fJQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-36256110296560041552008-03-10T19:42:00.003-04:002008-03-10T19:45:44.944-04:00The cheese stands aloneToday you stood by yourself for approximately 3 seconds. I handed you a book while you were standing up holding onto your baby cage. You let go of the cage and held the book with both hands and stood there. It was an amazing sight. Then you just plopped down on your butt. I think you got scared when I yelled "Look Seth, you're standing all by yourself!"Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-44704531685552110072008-03-09T16:39:00.003-04:002008-03-09T16:40:01.767-04:00PicturesYou got your pictures taken today at Sear's for your first birthday.

(which wasn't on mind you, just up against the wall.) Then Seth managed to wiggle out of his pants, take off his socks and start chewing on them all while emitting a high pitched squeal.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-7742674846022490682008-03-04T16:17:00.001-05:002008-03-04T16:19:14.380-05:00Baby FoodSeth, you are refusing to eat baby food. I'm now having to be more creative with your meals. Today you've eaten three waffles. (kid sized ones) Yesterday you ate pot roast and potatoes. Tonight you'll have grilled chicken breasts.<br /> It's amazing how much you can eat with only two teeth!Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-2572607242689561472008-03-01T09:58:00.001-05:002008-03-01T09:59:22.384-05:00Mommy and Son timeDear Seth, my favorite time of day is 5:00pm, when we sit in the big, comfy chair and watch 90210 while waiting for Daddy to come home.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-34114092769142665652008-02-27T20:15:00.003-05:002008-02-27T20:17:07.512-05:00Momma's SicklySeth darling, Momma is sick so just keep sleeping all night like a good little boy. You can now play peek-a-boo. You love to play it with a blanket or a book. I prefer blanket, because you keep hitting your head with the book. But, you have a tough head! You take after your dad that way!Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-25823801242060152842008-02-23T06:35:00.002-05:002008-02-23T06:37:55.919-05:00YMCA againWell Seth, you made up for your betrayal the other day at the Y babysitting. After a 1/2 hour they had to page me to the babysitting room because you were crying. You were the only kid in there, so I think the three adult ladies trying to play with you scared you because none of them were mama. It's nice to know you finally missed me while I was gone. But try to get it out of your system because I have about 15lbs to lose!Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324252566144695137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507189082721062390.post-59379250189605309202008-02-20T19:55:00.003-05:002008-02-20T19:58:30.439-05:00SurvivalYou survived your first baby-sitting experience by a non-relative today at the YMCA. You had so much fun. You played in an exasauser and then you crawled all around the play room. When I came back to get you I said "hi Seth!" You just looked over your shoulder, gave me a smile and went right back to doing what you were doing.
