17-month seth and 13 weeks baby o2

I thought it would be fun to give another Seth update.  His fascinations are changing constantly!


1.  Seth loves ketchup.  He wants ketchup on everything.  Everything.  He is so much like his father!  Here he is hamming it up for the camera with his potatoes and eggs.

 2.  He also L-O-V-E-S cooking with me.  The second I even open the fridge or pull out food, he's running for a dining room table chair, pushing it up to the counter and asking for the pepper (I guess he thinks pepper goes on everything).  Here he is again with the ketchup too.  :)

3.  We were teased the past few weeks with gorgeous weather ... like 70s and above type weather ... so I got all excited and got Seth his first helmet so we could all go bike riding.  I'm pretty sure the day after I bought it, it started raining and hasn't really stopped.  But we're excited for the day when we can go!

4.  Seth has also decided he is a professional climber now.  We have found him climbing up onto almost everything.  This kid has learned from many falls that he still needs to be careful ... luckily for us he isn't a reckless climber.

5.  Other random Seth facts include: beginning to use the word "no" ... or more like how he actually says it, "no, no" with a head shake.

6.  He loves two books more than the rest right now: Piggies and Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?  We seriously read them over and over and over and over and over ... yes, that repetitive toddler "Again!" is in full swing.

7.  We were given a DVD of kids singing Sunday School songs (probably from the '90s) and Seth is seriously addicted to it!  Jack and I constantly have those songs stuck in our heads now.  Haha ... a good thing because they're great, simple, Godly songs ... but oh my gosh I can't even remember what it's like to not have the same song playing over and over again in my head!

8.  Seth has a fascination with poop.  While at the park one day, I told Seth to not touch some doggy poop he was so curious about.  I told him it was doggy poo-poo and now any tiny spot he sees on the ground, he's convinced is poop and will yell out, "Poo-Poo! Poo-Poo!" We've even semi-started potty training with him (he went pee twice and poop once in his own potty!), and we're constantly talking about poop with that.  Goodness!

9.  He also is obsessed with sweeping and mopping the floors.  I'm not going to complain!

10.  Any time he gets hurt, he feels the need to explain exactly what happened and how he got hurt.  Of course I can't understand any of it, but it's really cute to see him point and act out what happened.

Now onto Baby O2!  

We went in yesterday for our 13-week appointment (officially in the second trimester!).  We were able to hear the baby's heart beat and find out everything is completely fine and healthy.  I've already gained 5 lbs ... a little ridiculous, but whatever.  We'll go in again in 4 weeks for the next check-up and for our anatomy ultrasound and gender reveal!  YES, we are going to find out the sex of the baby this time!

Our little person is now about 3 inches long and weighs almost an ounce.  S/he even has fingerprints!
