About a year ago we shared with the world the anticipation of our expected child. I wondered who this little person growing inside me would be, and I still wonder what kind of person he'll grow into.

| Hey! |
Seth is such a sweetheart. I know all mom's think their kids are the best, but seriously, how did I get to be the mommy of this wonderful baby boy? At Costco the other day a lady leaned over as we walked by and said, "No returns when they turn 12." I laughed, but it makes me sad too. I don't enjoy every second of being a mom, but his little smile and bear hugs when he's happy make the fussy/whiny times easier to deal with.

| Snuggles & smiles |
Currently he's teething. Which means he's fussy, a lot. But after nap time, when I pick him up out of his bed, he's so happy that his body can't hardly contain it. He squirms and wiggles, squeals and hugs me tight, smiles and kicks, it's one of my favorite parts of the day. It's closely followed by bed time, just after feeding him his last bottle and he's got milk smeared all around his mouth, he snuggles into my shoulder and breaths heavily as he falls asleep.

| "Helping" and talking with mom |
Lately Seth has been all about daddy, too. He loves to be with Luke. The other night, not long after Luke got home from work, Seth woke up. Seth usually stays mostly asleep when I change his diaper and feed him during the night, but last night he saw daddy and squealed with excitement, didn't want to have anything to do with me, just get to Luke as fast as he could. After Seth snuggled into Luke's shoulder and talked to him for a little while, he did eventually fall back to sleep. It makes me happy that Seth loves his dad.
Pretty soon our little guy is going to be crawling, eating solids, and growing up. I am so happy that I get to spend this time with him. It's not always easy, but I'm very grateful that I can be at home with him.
