17 Months
Seth at 17 months:
- Weight=26 pounds
- Height= approx. 32 inches
- Loves pressing buttons (constantly turning on and off the DVD player and starting the dishwasher! I am finding myself saying, "NO" a lot!)
- He loves playing out in the yard and it is really hard to get him to come inside
- He likes to put coins in his bank (I made an extra wipe container his temporary piggy bank. It is easy to take the coins out so that he can put them back in again)
- He gives us hugs when we ask him to (but unfortunately not every time!)
- He enjoys taking walks in his stroller
- Still has fun empting out the cupboards
- Tries to open anything he can with keys
- When he hears an airplane, he looks all around until he can find it
- When asked what a cow says, he responds by saying "mmmm"
- When asked what a dog says, he responds by panting
- He can point to his (but usually someone elses) nose, ears, eyes and mouth
- He LOVES when daddy gets home from work
- He likes turning lights on and off
- He is very good at communicating by pointing

Fall Fun at the Pumpkin Patch
This past Saturday we took Seth to the pumpkin patch. He really enjoyed it, but would get mad when the pumpkins were too big for him to lift! Luckily we found an apple gourd that was just his size!

Yogurt & Seth
I let Seth eat his yogurt on his own and here are the results:
Yogurt in his eye, yogurt in his hair, yogurt in his nose, yogurt on the chair, yogurt on the floor, yogurt yogurt everywhere!

updates, updates
It has been waaayyy too long since we last wrote. I will give you a few updates for now and post up some pictures sometime later.
House
We had settlement for our house on August 28th. We spent the following week painting the kitchen, laundry, 3 bedrooms and bathroom, putting on new door locks, putting up new light fixtures, investigating some leaks, and buying and installing new kitchen appliances. September 4-6 was spent packing up, moving, and unpacking. The time in between and up until now, we've been hanging up curtains, some pictures, cleaning, unpacking, and are overwhelmed by all that still needs to be done. It is a ton of work to move and a ton of work to move in and get settled. We still have much to accomplish before it really feels like home (warm & welcoming) to us. We are so greatful for our families and friends who helped make our move possible!
Seth
Seth is now 16 and 1/2 months old. He is active and into everything! He loves playing in the yard and would probably live there if he could! He had a rough 1st week-week 1/2 in the new house but we think it was a combination of things being unfamiliar and teething. He woke up through the night for a week straight and it would sometimes take an hour and some nights a little more to get him back to sleep. I think he now has 13 or 14 teeth! They just keep coming and keep waking him and us up at night. Hopefully our next child will not be bothered by their teeth coming in. Every single time Seth has gotten a new tooth, he let's us know about it. But overall, he is cute and funny and is learning a lot about life.
Us
Ted and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary on September 24th. His parent's kept Seth so we could go out to dinner, get coffee, and go to home depot for a toilet seat!! We had a nice time but it went too fast. My parents kept Seth at their place this past weekend so we could get some more accomplished on the house and have some quality time together. It was funny how at the same time I was enjoying the lack of parenting responsibility, I really missed Seth and couldn't wait to see him at the end of the weekend. We would LOVE another weekend to ourselves, it really does give you a break from the stresses of parenting and helps to rejuvenate you and your relationship! I guess though that we would like to be better at having a date night once a month. That would really be wonderful! Our anniversary was the 1st date night we had in 3 months. Anyway, we are doing well and are thankful for all God has blessed us with.
