And He's Off!

A few days ago Seth finally figured out how to move forward. He's still just "army crawling", with his tummy still on the floor, but he's definitely getting where he wants to go and starting to get into things that are in his reach!



We have been pretty busy lately. Seth is teething a lot, though no teeth have shown up yet, and some nights I get very little sleep. He is so miserable because of it sometimes, and even had a fever one day. I use Hylands homeopathic teething tablets ad teething gel, and a teething oil that has clove and chamomile oils. Those things seem to help some at least.

I am working on handmaking Christmas gifts (yes already!) and new things to sell in my Etsy shop. A friends and I are also toying with the idea of getting booths together at craft fairs in the area, which I think would be really great. Between all of that and trying to keep the house clean and trying to get out with Seth at least once a day, I keep pretty darn busy.

I got this batik sea turtle onesie for him at a local craft fair- I love it :)

Green Cay Nature Center

Seth loved the turtles in the tank at the nature center!

Sunrise at the beach- Seth was up at 5:30 because of teething and wouldn't go back to sleep, so we decided to go watch the sunrise. It was wonderful!

New family photos taken by my mom in our backyard. The only time that Seth has ever worn a long-sleeved dress shirt!

Four Months Old!

Seth is doing really well- he is a super happy baby, laughing and smiling all the time. Except, of course, when his gums are bothering him. :( Yes, our baby is teething now. He chews on everything he can get into his mouth, which is pretty much anything he can reach since he is now a pro at grabbing things. He is getting much stronger and does great with tummy time, and can sit if I hold his hands.

We have been house hunting a lot, and we're planning on making (another) offer soon, on a 3 bedroom townhouse. We're really looking forward to owning our own home. I can't wait to have a place that belongs to us, to paint and decorate and grow things...

Here are some new photos of the little guy:
