Seth is 4 months old

Seth is already 4 months old - I can hardly believe it!! We have an appoinment with Dr. E on Monday and will update you on how that goes then.

Favorite things:
He loves to "talk" to anyone that will listen, he still has to be able to see someone at all times, he loves his play gym, he is rather fond of the set of plastic rings he got from a friend, he loves his monkey that he carries with him, he loves stories, and he loves his sister Hannah and all her kisses

Least favorite things:
dogs barking, anyone yelling or raising their voice (Hannah screaming), being alone for ANY amount of time, being wet or poopy - wants his diaper changed immediately, and being in his carseat - mainly because he cannot see anyone else in the car

New talents:
Seth is an accomplished roller - he can roll over and thinks it is hilarious when he does so, he is beginning to make some crawling motions forward and is able to move around his blanket or play gym with ease, he can hold his own bottle now - although he prefers someone else to do it, he can sit with minimal support, he can grasp objects with both hands and transfer objects from hand to hand, is taking baths in the big tub with a bath sponge under him and LOVES it, he makes great facial expressions, he is laughing, and he is eating cereal from a spoon!!!

Seth is such a blessing to us!! He stopped sleeping through the night about a week ago, so I put him on cereal and he is sleeping from 7:30 until 6:00!!! He has definitely developed a personality and it seems as though we have been blessed with a laid back little guy who loves to laugh and cuddle! He loves to play with his toes and put his entire foot in his mouth.

It does not feel like it has been four months already, but I cannot remember our lives without him! Hannah loves her brother and is GREAT about taking care of him. She also makes sure we bring him with us when we leave the house! I must admit I was really worried about how Hannah was going to handle not being the center of attention, but she has been amazing.

If you had asked me at the beginning if having two kids was easy, I would have said NO, but as we are settling into a routine and adjusting to life - I cannot imagine life without two kids! I love being their mom and I love being at home with them over the summer!

What a great gift we have been given to be parents of two such terrific kids!!
