October fun

We have been having a lot fun lately!

Seth is loving waterbabies. He loves to splash splash splash. He doesn't care for trying to float, but is a trooper about it. I am finding the part that we both dislike the most is trying to get dry and dressed AFTER the lessons :) I think he will do great in the long run because it doesn't scare him at all.


He is crawling like a pro and has started getting good at pulling himself into a standing position. I wasn't ready for crawling, but I know I am definitely not ready for walking!

Seth has gone through most of the first foods now and the only ones he dislikes are avocados and prunes. He loves peaches, plums, and squash. He also thinks that sippy cup is a lot of fun.

We went to the pumpkin patch last weekend. It was fun. Unfortunately it started pouring down rain right as we got to the pumpkin patch so I couldn't get any pictures of Seth wtih the pumpkins. We did get to go on a hay ride, go through a maze, and play in a corn "sandbox". Then we went home and after Seth went to sleep we carved the pumpkins. Matt and Krystal started to help, but had to go home early.
We are still in escrow on the land in Philomath. We really hope this wraps up by Halloween, but who knows. It is a tad stressful, especially for Tanner. Work is going well for both of us. I picked up an extra day every week to help cover while someone is on maternity leave. I think just until the end of the year... hopefully. I haven't commited past December.

8 months old!

Where is the time going?? He is crawling and eating and learning new skills everyday. It makes me so sad that he isnt a baby anymore. On the other hand, it is so much fun to watch him learning and as each day passes I have more and more fun with him.

Start your engines!!

Seth is crawling! So he isnt graceful by any means, but he moves. We aren't ready for this! So much baby proofing needs to be done and sadly, it means I have to make sure my floors are spotless because it never fails.... if there is something on the floor, even the tiniest thing, Seth will find it. And of course, it will go straight into his mouth. He has also cut his 3rd tooth! The crawling and the 3rd tooth all in one day. Needless to say, it was an exhausting day for us all.

Today we start water babies at the aquatic center. It should be fun! I'll update afterwards.We are only a couple weeks away from closing on the two lots we are in escrow for. The projected date for the houses to be completed is in April. We aren't looking forward to trying to sell this house, but we have to do what we have to do.

Let see... Seth's newest foods to try:

Apples: loves them

Avocado: ha! yeah right. He hates them.

Bananas: YUM!

Next on the list is peaches... I think he will like these. He has liked everything so far with the exception of the avocados.

Ok, and a quick rant. Seth is so tall! Thats not the rant though. Like his daddy, pants are going to be hard to find! He is in 12month sized clothing for a couple weeks now (and he isnt quite 8months old) and the pants fit great lengthwise but with Seth's skinny waist they are so baggy at the top. Do they make baby belts? haha. I need to find the adjustable waisted kind of pants.

Airplanes!

We went to the Evergreen Aviation Museum on Labor day and had a blast! We saw lots of planes of all shapes and sizes. I don't think Seth was too interested in the planes, but he enjoyed just strolling around watching people etc. He got lots of compliments on how cute he is and how good he was being. We saw the Spruce Goose and watched a Cirque De Soleil 3D movie at the IMAX theater. Seth actually watched with 3D glasses on too!

Narrated by Seth

So today Mommy decided to try her hand at making my babyfood. So far I have liked everything I have tried that came from the store. I have had:

Rice cereal
Oatmeal
Carrots
Sweet Potatos
Peas
Green beans
and Pears

And I have never made a reaction the first time I tried these things. They were all yummy and I gobbled them all up.



BUT! I am not too sure about this home made baby food texture.It is interesting....






I am thinking this is gross....










Definitely gross and it does not belong in my mouth!!!




Dont worry, I really did eat it all... I gagged a couple times.... but in the end it ended up in my belly. I think I hurt Mommy's feelings though. I dont think it was her cooking, it is the texture of UNpureed food.

Aug has been busy!

We have been pretty busy this month. Seth went to his first wedding last week. He looked so handsome all dressed up. We have been hanging out at the park, swimming in his little pool, playing with his cousin, etc.

Seth has started doing more and more. He now rolls and rolls and rolls. When I leave him on the floor and walk away he is never where I left him. I have to be careful with what I leave laying around. He also has started clapping!

It is so much fun to watch him learn new things like that. His new favorite thing is drinking from a sippy cup. Sometimes he hardly gets anything to drink because he is laughing so much while doing it! He hasn't learned that tipping the cup up is the key, but he knows that milk comes from it.

We are still in the middle of purchasing some lots in Philomath and when all of that gets sorted out we will build and move to Philomath. We would only be blocks from Krystal and Tanner's parents.

It is bedtime for Seth- I can hear him fussing... so time to wrap up this short entry.
