seth update

I realize it's been awhile since I last wrote about my beloved child.  It seriously seems like he's doing new things every day!  For example, as we were walking out to the car this morning, Seth saw a lady walking a dog across the street and he pointed to them saying, "Da! Da!" ... I'm interpreting that as "dog".  Here are a few other things he's been up to:


1. He is no longer afraid of our laundry room, and now will go back there, shut the door and run in circles.

 

2. He has learned how to use his step-stool to get up on the couch.  Probably his favorite spot in the house.  He has also figured out how to open up doors.  Bring on the locks!

3.  He loves food.  Strangely enough, he loves food in "stick" shapes ... i.e. bananas, cheese sticks, french fries.  So, to get him to eat things, I now cut them up into long rectangles (yesterday I cut up a turkey and cheese sandwich that way).  And then he will scarf them down.

4.  He got this car/stroller thing for his birthday.  We have succumbed to just leaving it on the front porch because, rain or shine, we take walks in it multiple times per day.  In fact, he threw his first tantrum over it because he wanted to go for a walk even though it was pouring down rain.  Oh - that's another thing - Seth now throws tantrums.  Yay.

5. He has become quite a cuddler ... with his stuffed animals. It's actually really cute to see him playing all rough, throwing stuff around, and then grabbing a soft stuffed animal, he'll curl it under his neck and place his cheek down on it and just pause for a moment of cuddling. Super cute!
