Seth thinks the running through the house is hysterical. Tonight after Jerald finished giving him a bath - Seth escaped, running naked, with only his frog towel on his head. Seth's favorite thing to do after running through the house naked? Sitting on his red chair - naked!
Seth loves the kitchen. He loves measuring cups, counting ingredients (he can count to 10!), and of course stirring. Over the weekend Seth helped me make pancakes. 
Today, Seth and I were once again stuck at home so we decided to go out and explore. But first we needed to get suited up.
Seth was first unsure of this thing we call "snow." He surveyed the landscape and then started to tentatively explore.
He does not love the gloves - but I batted to keep them on his little hands.
Once we started stepping, touching and throwing the snow, Seth started to really enjoy himself.
Or maybe he was just happy to finally be out of the house!
From Jerald: So this is a picture of Storrow drive today. Actually, it might be a video, because nobody was moving. For some reason that nobody can quite figure out, yesterday was the worst traffic day in Boston in anyone's memory. Everyone left work early and the roads were at a complete standstill. People would just sit in the middle of the intersection blocking cars going the other way, but ahead of them someone else would be blocking the intersection - I'm sure from above it looked like a giant puzzle. At one point, there was a cop car next to me that wanted to turn left, only cars kept blocking the intersection so that literally nobody got through for five successive lights. One of the two cops then got out of the car just to hold up traffic long enough so a few people (including his partner) could turn left. I think at that point the cop got back in the car and left people to their own devices. Way to help. It was enough to let me through though so I shouldn't complain.
So anyway, after spending over 4 hours in the car (and going approximately 8 miles) Lauren suggested I find somewhere to stop and get something to eat. Realizing that I wasn't going to get home before Seth went to sleep anyway (having left work at 2:45!) I decided to pull into a movie theater (covered) parking lot, got food, and went into the next movie. Two and a half hours later, the streets were moving a little better and it only took me another 45 minutes to get home - at which point Lauren came out and helped me dig out a spot to park. All told, including the movie and shoveling, it took just a tad more than 8 hours door to door (for ~11 miles).
Ready to climb into bed...
Seth has been loving his new kitchen from Nana. It is so cute to see him at work. Thanks Nana!
As you can see, we went to Nana's house for the 6th night of Chanukah. (Of course, if you asked Seth he might tell you it was the seventh night because he likes to skip the number 5. Counting is one of his newest tricks, but his favorite two numbers are 4 and 6 and he doesn't like to let anything get in between them).
Another trip to one of our favorite places in Boston, The Children's Museum! We met Ronak there and the kids had a blast.
Last night our neighbor and friend Ellah came over with her Mom to celebrate Chanukah. We lit the menorah, sang songs, and played with dreidels. It was a lot of fun.
Ronak came over last week for a playdate. I never got a chance to post this adorable picture.
First, Ronak sat in Seth's chair and then asked Seth to sit with him. How cute!
We celebrated the first night of Chanukah with Nana, presents, and homemade latkes and apple sauce! Seth loved the potato latkes and apple sauce. He ate them so fast, I lost count of how many he had. We had a really wonderful night celebrating together.
Last night it snowed in Boston. Not too bad - but enough for Seth and I to stay in for most of the day. Seth's word of the day was "snow." Every time he passed the window - he would point and say "snow!"
To get ready for the upcoming snow storm, we spent sometime outside raking the leaves. And Seth got to show off his new winter clothes.
Happy, happy, happy birthday to my Mom and Seth's Grandma (aka "Ra"). I know we do not need to tell you how amazingly wonderful you are. That you are one of my biggest inspirations, source of never ending support and encouragement, and best friend. But I guess I just did.
Happy Birthday!
After an amazingly wonderful week in New York, it was time to head back to Boston. I really cannot express how truly special it was to be surrounded by so many people who care about us. Just watching my Grandparents and Parents and Brother play, laugh, and watch Seth filled me with indescribable joy. Thank you!
While Jerald and I stayed overnight in Seth's Grandma and Grandpa's new apartment in the City - they took Seth to a wonderful Children's Museum out on Long Island. Now I was not there - but from the pictures and how tired Seth was after they got back, it seems like a great time was had by all!

What a wonderful day! Seth's Grandma cooked up a storm. It was an amazingly yummy dinner - and Seth loved every minute of it. It was so fantastic to spend an uninterrupted day with my Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Brother, Husband and Son. I know I have a lot to be thankful for!
