July 24th - Aug. 1st, 2012

Hi Everyone!
We have had quite the time the past three weeks. Birthdays, blueberry picking and bubbles...

 
Seth is really growing up and is pleasant to be around. (transformed from several months ago) We haven’t had any biting incidents or screaming in a while now, which I’m so thankful for! He likes to do everything that Blake does.



 
Seth’s second favorite toy is his “baby”. For the past month or so he has occasionally pretended that he’s a baby and will crawl on all fours and carry his blankets around. Somehow in his role playing, I even get called “baby”. He has said several times in response to questions I ask him “Okay baby” in a squeaky high-pitched voice. Not sure how I feel about being called “baby” by my two year old, but it’s so cute to watch! Anyway, he loooves his baby and takes good care of it throughout the day.


 One of Seth’s favorite presents he got was a toy musket like the one we got Blake. Now, Daddy, Blake and Seth all go hunting together in the backyard for polar bears, giant spiders and lions. Blake and Seth like to wear their special hunting hats that mommy says makes them a better hunter. Which is really just an excuse to get them used to wearing their hats for our trip the beach. ;) Micah’s gun in the picture is a BB gun just in case anyone was wondering if we were violating city ordinances. 


  
Our “Seffy”, as Seth calls himself, turned two years old. After talking about his birthday and going to the train park for weeks, the day finally arrived. He talked about the train and cupcakes and ice cream every single day leading up to it. Even the “hec-a-lopter” was there, although that one didn’t turn out to be so grand. After about one spin around the beloved ride, he decided it wasn’t for him and burst into tears. 

Seth got to share some of his big day with his uncle Scott, who shares his birthday.





We are getting ready to leave for the beach this Saturday! Blake was telling Seth in the car today that he needs to be sure to stay in the boat at the beach because there are sharks that might get him. Blake is the third parent in the home, in case anyone was wondering.

Yesterday at the library the boys were doing puzzles while I got new books and there was another little boy who was taking Blake’s pieces. Later, Blake told Micah that Seth told the boy “No!”. Micah said “Seth, were you standing up for your big brother?” and Blake says “No, he was just sitting in the chair.”

Speaking of standing up…Seth was climbing up on the step stool and by way of asking if it’s okay if he stood on the top step said, “Mommy, can I stand up for Jesus?”

Hope you all are doing well!

Love,

Kari
