Big Boy Seth

Wow, Seth is getting so big! I went to transfer a sleeping Seth from his bouncy chair into his toddler bed last night and thought, "You are getting so heavy, Seth! Where did my little baby go?" He is almost 19 months old now! He has definitely graduated from "baby" to "toddler." I don't even call him "Baby Seth" anymore, though it still slips out sometimes, particularly when he falls asleep next to me.

This age is so fun (not that is doesn't have its challenges!). It is so easy to make him laugh and to entertain him. We play outside A LOT now that the weather is warm. I love it! I am grateful our backyard is fenced in so he can't escape. :) Right now, he is playing in his Cozy Coupe from my mom (thanks, Mom--Seth LOVES it!) out on the patio while I am typing this. He is a boy through and through: his favorite things are lawn mowers, tractors, cars, trucks, and bugs! When we go on walks (which is quite often), we often end up sitting on the curb watching a neighbor mow their lawn. I hope he is this enthusiastic about lawn mowing when he gets older! :)

Enough writing; here are a few pictures:

Geran got new tires for his four-wheeler. Seth had his fun until Dad got them on.

Seth loves playing with kitchen things. He always wants to help me cook.

Chocolate face! Yum!

Seth has a blast on this little slide. Now it is in the little kiddie pool. He also is holding the beloved pooper scooper... Kinda gross. He loves that thing.

The favorite passtime: playing with Dad's iPad! He's got that thing figured out.

This is his "I want to play with that camera you're holding!" face. I don't think so!

What a handsome kid!

This is his very serious driving face. :)

Well, that's what's going on around here! Geran is taking a class this summer, so he is busy with homework and studying. He was just called to be an Assistant Scout Master for the Deacons, so he will get to go on campouts and everything that goes along with that! That will be fun for him. I am enjoying playing with Seth, and am so glad to be done with school! No doctorate for me--Master's is quite enough! We are looking forward to the rest of this summer! It always goes by too fast, but we are making the most of it!
