First Tantrum

I am pretty sure I (as well as Seth) experienced his first tantrum today. He kept trying to get into a kitchen cabinet that has matches, soap, spray, etc. and I told him "No" and he got mad and threw himself back on a box of Life cereal (the cereal was on the floor from another cabinet he had been rummaging through). He continued to pout for a while until he finally got over it. I didn't think he was suppose to have tantrums until he was two. But this says otherwise:

Although many people think of tantrums as part of the "terrible twos," many children start having them between 10 and 24 months of age.


He has also been throwing himself back when he doesn't want to get into his high chair or his car seat! What a fun new season of parenting we are entering! Haha! So all you parents out there, take note!

hair do

Here are some pictures of Seth after playtime in the sink! I was washing his hands in the sink and of course he tried getting in so I decided to let him! The pictures are after the fact and in new dry clothes. Believe it or not his shirt is just wet from drool! His hair went this way just by combing it, thought it was cute and funny!

10 months

Seth is 10 months old today!!

• He has learned where we keep the tupperware and enjoys pulling it all out of the drawer


• He points his finger at various things and nothing at all
  
• He eats toilet paper
  
• He is learning the word "NO"
  
• He says, "da da" and "mum mum"


• He loves being in his "birthday suit" and taking baths
  
• He is starting to eat some solid foods but still loves pureed


• He likes opening and closing the bedroom door


• He still has just 4 teeth


• His feet extend over the edge of his carseat
  

I had a quite a time trying to compose this blog! I will add more photos later.

Auction

As some of you know (those who've read previous posts) we were interested in a house for auction. Well, it has come and gone and we don't have a house. It went just over our price range. :( I am working on "getting over it" and trying to think positive (which is sometimes really hard). I just want a single home and it is going to be a challenge to find one. I just want to move away from 322 and out of this apartment. It is soooo noisy from the constant roar of traffic day and night. We only have a shower here so I can't give Seth a bath in a real bathtub, which makes me sad. Anyway, we will let you know if any other possible houses come up.
