Does anyone look at this anymore...

I am so awful at updating this and if you are checking it I am really sorry. Here goes a recap of the last 3 months (I can't believe that it has been that long, man time if flying by):

In June we went down south for the Anaheim Angels game and while there we went to Downtown Disney where Seth got is first ear hat.

On June 10th Seth had his 6-month pictures taken by a local photographer...check them out at www.iseebeauty.com/seth. Also on this day he had his first solid food, rice...

Overall June was a busy month...

Our dear friends the Frazer's came for a visit all the way from New Mexico. They cooked us enchiladas, we went to a Grizzlies game, Heather became addicted to Guitar Heroes and we had a great time...

Also in June Seth began army crawling, which means we really had to start keeping an eye on everything he does because if he shouldn't be touching it he wants to try.

During July Seth celebrated his first 4th of July, to celebrate we spent the evening at a BBQ with our neighbors, Shannon and Carrie. He wasn't the least bit frightened by the fireworks. Also during July he pulled himself up into the standing position for the first time.

So far in August he got his first two teeth, started crawling on his hands and knees, and went to the zoo for the first time. He had a great time watching the monkeys, touching stingrays, and feeding the giraffes...

Sitting Up

On May 18th Seth starting sitting up!

He also had his 6 month check-up and he is doing very well and the doctor said that he is really gaining weight at a good pace. He is now 16 lbs. 10 oz and is 25 inches long. Tomorrow we are going down south for the Anaheim Angels baseball game and we will spend time at Downtown Disney, which is always a lot of fun.

Rolling over

Since my last post my darling little boy has done so much. He started sucking on his toes, he can sit up supported by his arms, and he rolled over. It was so exciting to see him roll over for the first time. He first rolled over from his tummy onto his back and then a few days later he figured out how to roll from his back onto his belly. When he first did this Nolan and I were both watching him and we squealed with delight and then to join in Seth started squealing also, it was very cute.

We had another appointment with the lacatation specialist and she said that we are both doing very well, Seth is gaining weight and he weighed in at 15 lbs. 11 oz. He has little chunky legs and has really filled out. I can't believe how much he is growing. Now when I look at his newborn pictures its hard to remember him that small and skinny. I would really like to continue to breastfeed him until he is at least a year old, if not longer. We will start him on rice cereal when he is 6 months.

This past weekend was my first Mother's Day and it was so exciting. Seth and Nolan got me a beautiful mirror for our entry and the card Nolan picked out for me was very touching and brought tears to my eyes. We spent time with both Grandmas and had a wonderful day.

I am off of work this entire week, which of course I love. I still have a few weeks of disability left so I will take time off when we are slow at work. I love, love, love being at home with my little guy.

For Heather...

When my dear friend Heather was here a few months ago she helped me pick out paint colors and drapery for our new house. Ever since then she has been asking me for some pictures of the finished product. The kitchen color is Merlot and it looks quite a bit darker in the picture than it does in person. We love it and couldn't be more thrilled. Thanks, Heather!

The last month...

It has been a month since I last had a posting and for that I am truly sorry. All I can say is thank god busy season is over and I can drop back down to 40 hours a week and hopefully get more things accomplished(like updating my blog).

Since I last wrote Seth has discovered his feet and started reaching for things. He also had his 4-month check up, which meant another round of shots and he was quite the trooper barely crying at all. He was 14.4 lbs and 24 inches long. We also had pictures taken with real baby bunnies for Easter. He also started rolling on his side, but not quite all the way over yet. He also loves to take baths and I had to take pictures of him in his little puppy robe and slippers.

I also found out that I got a 73 on the last CPA exam section I took. A 75 is passing :) I feel like I'll never be able to pass this damn thing, but I will keep trying.

I am now on vacation until the 30th and I am looking forward to spending this extra time with Seth.

Happy St. Paddy's Day

Seth is growing bigger by the day now and this week we had our doctor appointment with the lactation specialist and he now weighs 13 lbs. He is on track for his percentile, which is the 25th. Being at work is still difficult and this week I was out at a client's so that made pumping interesting. They were nice enough to set me up in a room where I could lock the door. We think that Seth will be giggling here any day and we can't wait! We spent Seth's first St. Patricks Day shopping. He was such a good boy and he looked so handsome in his new outfit...

I don't know how, but I did it...

This week I had to do the hardest thing I have ever had to do, leave Seth to go back to work. It is really hard to say goodbye to him every morning and it just breaks my heart, especially when he says goodbye by giving me a big grin. He is at home now with Nolan until the 16th of April, at which time I hope to take a couple more weeks off. Seth and I had a dr. appt. this week and he now weighs 11.13 lbs. He started bringing his hands together this week and he even took a 3 hours nap in his swing!

Have you seen Patricia Arquette on Medium?

So I did it, I chopped my hair off. See for yourself (ignore the fact that I have zero makeup on)...

This will be super simple for me to style in the mornings and is quite baby friendly. My hair was down past my shoulders, so we ended taking about 2-3 inches off. I also took some new pictures of Seth here is my favorite...

Visitors galore...

Today was a day full of the company of our friends and family. First, Seth and I had lunch with Rosalie who came down from Fremont, CA. We ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory, which is one of my favorites. I haven't seen Rosalie in a while and this is the first time she has met Seth so it was so nice to be able to have even this short visit with her. After lunch my Granny, Papa, Dad, Aunt Dawn and cousin Christopher all came over for a visit. Granny and Papa live in Arizona and Aunt Dawn and Christopher live in southern California. Seth took a few pictures with his great Papa...
This is my last week at home with my little man before I have to go back to work and I am really starting to dread next Monday. This week I am going to take Seth to get his 3 month portraits and I also have to go clothes shopping because I still don't fit in any of my work clothes. Oh and I am also going to get a new hairdo on Wednesday one that is much more baby friendly, which probably means I am going to chop my hair off!
