Christmas Tree

Seth was amazed by the Christmas tree! He kept taking off the already in place ornaments and in the process broke two of them. He also really liked the beads we put on the tree and was wearing some of them as a necklace.

18 Months Update

Seth finally had his 18 month check-up today. He was so pleasant. He didn't try to get off the scale or tear all the paper off the table where they measure him, or squirm all over the place. He kindly allowed the nurse and doctor to do their jobs without a fuss. He didn't even cry when he got his shot in the leg! Great job Seth! You made the visit stress free for your mommy! Anyway, here are his latest measures.

Weight= 24 pounds (30%)

Height= 34 1/2 inches (92%)

Head circumference= 19 1/4 inches (80%)

Thanksgiving Weekend

This past weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving with the Mellert's. The food was delicious (thanks mom!) and we were all stuffed to the brim. Seth can sometimes be a picky eater but he enjoyed some turkey & gravy, corn, and pumpkin pie! In one of the photos you can see my pregnant little sister! We are so excited for Seth to have a cousin and we are anxiously awaiting her arrival in February.
