Seth - 4-5 Months


My sweet little Seth is growing WAY. TOO. FAST!!!!!! I feel like I keep saying that, but it is just so stinkin' true! He is such a happy, bubbly, smiley baby, and I am truly loving this phase of his life -- you know that phase when they aren't so teeny tiny, they are super social, BUT they aren't mobile just yet!!!!! Here's so fun things about Seth:
  • At his 4-month check-up, his stats: 17 lb 11 oz (90%), 24.5 inches long (25%), and 17 inch head (75%)
  • He loves to play on the floor -- equally enjoying tummy time (pushing up, pivoting around etc.) and back time (playing with overhead toys, grabbing feet, etc.), and rolling some if he wants to.
  • He loves his exersauser -- he can spin all around in it and watch what the big boys are doing!
  • He smiles and giggles at just about everything -- especially Luke and Daniel!
  • He wants to talk to us so badly -- and will make all sorts of grunts, squeals, etc as if having a little conversation!
  • He can sit by himself for several seconds, to even a minute... but if he goes to grab at something, he will likely tumble over.
  • He is still a great nurser (quite obvious!), and just started some rice cereal recently -- which he seems to really like!
  • He is ALMOST perfect in every way -- except that he does NOT sleep through the night yet (ehh, "perfect" babies are over-rated!) He has some good nights, and some not so good -- depending on if he is 100% well, or fighting a cold... but he'll get there -- hopefully sooner rather than later ;)
  • He is such a blessing to our family and we are all so in love with him!

Pictures of Luke

The other night we had a cool front move through and the sky was gorgeous! The boys were out playing in the backyard, so I grabbed my camera to play with the setting some and get some good pics! They were pretty entertaining and had many expressions to share!
Here's a few of my favorites of Luke! How is he getting SO BIG already?!?!?









Pictures of Daniel



So here are some of my favorites of Daniel from the same night as mentioned in the post "Pictures of Luke"











And here are some of Daniel from a different day at the park. Daniel -- being VERY 2 at times -- will either be completely compliant and a little ham for the camera OR tell me "No pictures!" and run away from the camera... so when he is cooperative, I try to take advantage of it and capture some of his expressions and his sweet smile!

Playing at Parks

The weather has been just beautiful!!!! And we have been out playing any chance we get!


Daniel about to go down the slide, but stopping for a quick pic

Not quite tall enough yet to reach!

Running off all that energy!

Proof that Seth (and Mommy) are indeed at the park too ;)

Sweet Daniel

Daniel getting a hug and pic with Mommy!
Silly Luke hanging and climbing

Daniel showing his shiner (under his left eye) -- poor guy ran right into the path of Luke twirling around with a bucket -- not a good combo

Luke climbing high!

Luke "all done" with taking pictures ;)
