An Update...

I am going to do an official holiday post, complete with pictures- the whole nine yards.

The reason I haven't yet is that our holiday celebrations haven't ended. Jackie came home from the hospital today, and we are hanging out at her house now. It is so good to have her home. We are going to have a whole Christmas and New Years celebration with them now that she's back. Life will feel more normal for all of us now, at least for a while.

Seth is changing so much all the time, he constantly entertains and exhausts us. He crawls really fast now, and we are always having to move things out of his reach. He's very curious and intelligent, and brings us a never-ending supply of joy. Some of his recent accomplishments include unrolling all the toilet paper onto the floor in the downstairs bathroom, climbing the stairs (don't worry, I was right behind him and a gate has since been installed!), and shaking his head "no" when he doesn't want something. He also doing much better at cruising along the side of the couch or coffee table and feeding himself finger foods. He loves to go outside, and he loves animals.

In other news, I am considering a new system for my blogging. Rather than keeping with my three different blogs here on Blogger, I want to create one big blog with different sections for topics I write about a lot. So stay tuned, because things may be changing around here :)

Seth and the guitar


He loves music, and always has fun with it at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Making music!


Seth loves the toys he got from Santa, including this one.

It's all about the smiles

He really can put a smile on my face like none other.

Here is a happy face wet with drool from teething and leftover tears from a recent meltdown.

We went to the park today and Seth really enjoyed the swings for the first time. We all needed a family outing like this- it had been a while. It's around 70 degrees here and Manny was in shorts in a t-shirt. Usually he's not so brave about cooler weather. :)
He's not quite in focus here but I had to post it anyway, you can see why.


Oh yes, and I posted a few of Seth's "Christmas Pictures" on my photography blog.

Christmas Tree!

The place where Christmas trees are bought in Florida... since there are no "tree farms" here. (btw it was probably in the 80 degree range that night!)


We got a kid who was working there to take our picture.
Seth and I were looking for the perfect tree...

...and we found it, and brought it home. I love his face in this photo.
Little hands always ready to grab.

Examining the first ornament to go on the tree.
And after trying to chase the lights around and having more the one meltdown about something dangerous being taken away from him, and laughing at the Christmas tree... Seth finally fell asleep, and Manny and I were able to finish the decorating job. I like it.

Another New Seth Movie

I had to post this because it captures some of Seth's newest accomplishments. He has just started to "share" things with me and it is adorable. He tries to feed me his cheerios, and he'll hand me toys as you can see in this video. He's such an active and (most of the time) happy baby!

Seth is 10 months! (Yay!)


He loves playing with pots and pans (and paper bags, etc) in the kitchen while mommy cooks!



This is from the day he started clapping- he does it all the time now- so cute :)



He loves rolling a ball back and forth- it's his favorite game.


Our little guy is growing up so much! He "pulls up" on everything and has started "cruising" a little- walking while holding a table, etc. He is very smiley and happy and has learned to wave goodbye and clap his hands. He is perfecting his crawling skills and we're sure that he'll start walking in the next few months. I can't believe my baby boy is almost one- it just doesn't seem possible.

For those that don't know already, my mother-in-law, Jackie, is currently undergoing chemotherapy in the hospital. This has been a hard time for our whole family. Please pray for her health and that she can be home again soon. I'll be posting more often here so that she can have plenty of updates on her grandbaby!
