First Snow

It is crazy but true... February 14th is Seth's first official snow. We had to bundle up for a couple of minutes to get this cute picture. When first Seth looked up at the sky and snow fell on his face he looked very confused. Quickly, his confused look turned to a great big smile. Our boy loves everything!

Lucky for us Jerald is working from home today because of the weather so we all get to spend Valentine's Day together!

At Grandma and Grandpa's

Here are some other fun pictures from our visit to New York... Bath in the sink...

Funny faces with Mom...

Meeting one of Mom's oldest friends Yael...

Thanks for a great weekend!!!

First Cookie!

We had a great but short visit with Seth's Grandma and Grandpa this weekend. Seth's Grandma spoiled him with his first cookie. And of course he loved it!

Thanks for a great weekend!

It was also great seeing some friends for some quick visits. And for those of you we didn't get a chance to see we are sorry but we hope to be back very soon!

Playdate Video

Playdate with Xander

On Saturday Xander and his parents Emily and Bill came over for a fun afternoon. We all got great laughs from Seth and Xander fighting over toys. Xander has some advantages in that he can crawl for the toys, but Seth hung in there. Tomorrow we will have a video of some of this fun!

Superbowl Sunday

Even though the Pats didn't make it to the big game, we still had to put on our gear. We always support the Patriots, even when they aren't playing!

We had a few friends over to watch the game. It was great seeing everyone. Seth made it to half time. He just wanted to see some of the halftime show.

Bath

Every night before bedtime, Jerald gives Seth a bath. It is a great time the two of them can spend together. It is really fantastic that Jerald has been working so hard to be able to make it home by 7pm for bath time.

As you can tell, Seth loves the special time with his Dad. Seth usually giggles and smiles through the whole bath.

We have really come a long way in the past nine months.

Red Sox Sweater

Here is the amazing, wonderful, and warm sweater Seth's Great-Grandma knit for him. If you cannot tell from the picture, the buttons are little baseballs. Go RED SOX!!!

Thanks Great-Grandma - Seth LOVES it!

Boston Organics

Now that Seth is eating more and more "table food," our goal is to only cook one dinner for all three of us. To help us with this goal we got our first delivery from Boston Organics. Every other week they will deliver us an assortment of organic fruits and veggies. Now we just have to figure out to do with all of it!

Steam Heat

We all have been dealing with a nasty cold over the last week. So to help with our congestion we took a steam in our bathroom.

With all the steam heat Seth's hair curled right up - just like Mommy's!

We are all feeling much better and are on the road to recovery

How big is Seth?

SO BIG!!!

Seth's Nana has been working on this for quite some time. Last night Jerald asked Seth how big he was - and he raised his hands over his head. Now he does it every time he is asked the magic question. Good job Nana!!!

Pancake Breakfast

Seth's Mom cooked him up some yummy pancakes for breakfast today (don't ask what is in them).

Seth is really moving along to "table food." Which means we just cut up regular food into Seth size pieces and let him go to town. He now eats cut up pieces of fruit, pasta, cheerios, beans, corn, bagels, rolls, peas and of course pancakes!

9 Months!!!

Seth had another very busy month. He spent a lot of time log rolling around the apartment and lunging for everything. Seth started waving and saying "Mom" and "Dad" and lots of other fun noises. Seth started eating out with Mom and Dad in restaurants by sitting in his own highchair. He also got three more teeth to eat so many new foods with.

Shopping Cart

Seth took his first ride in a shopping cart today at Trader Joes. He loved it! He spent the whole time giggling.

20 lbs 2 oz!!!

Seth went for his 9 month doctor's appointment today and he weighed in at 20 pounds and 2 ounces! He has come a long way from the 6 pounds 14 ounces he weighed when he was born.

So, this is a hat that Seth's Great Grandma knitted for him which came with the most adorable jacket that we haven't had a chance to photograph him in yet. Maybe for tomorrow...

Boo!

Drinking

Seth loves to "drink" from real cups. He really likes to lick and gum the glass but sometimes he does get some water in his mouth, and he is always very surprised.

Under the Couch

While Seth is not yet crawling, he is finding ways to get around the apartment. He is still doing a lot of log rolling - which landed him under the couch this morning. He seemed pretty pleased by himself.

So many toys...

Wow look at all these toys in this box. Which one should I play with?

Maybe I should just dive right in and play with all of them!

Oh, hi Mom. When did you get there?

Big Little Man

We all were getting ready to go to a friends 2 year old birthday party and we were struck by how old and mature looked in this adorable sweater (bought by Lauren's cousin Catesby - thanks!).

Only one more week until Seth is 9 months old!!! Time is going by so fast.
