My birthday boy..Seth – 1 year!

I can’t believe my baby is 1 already!  This is not only a celebration of his birth, but also of getting through this past year and all the changes our family has gone through.  We made it through this year.  Praise the Lord! 

Seth has no idea what all happened, but it will be a year to remember that’s for sure.  It’s sad to think he won’t ever remember living in Indiana or living near his grandparents…but he will have many happy memories of living here in GA.

Seth at 1 year:

- Says: momma, da-da, Ia-it (for Isaac), Uh-oh, All-done

- Does: So Big (arms up in the air), Waves Bye Bye, Motions All-Done

-Crawls all over and can pull himself up onto his knees and is trying to pull himself onto his feet

- Loves to snuggle and Sleeps Really Well (a huge improvement over when he was 8 mos and under)

- Adores his big brother Isaac and lately says his name ALL of the time

We are so blessed to have him as apart of our family.  God has blessed us more than we could ever imagine and we are so thankful that he gave us this adorable little boy.

My silly boys…

I think I took this video after having lunch the other day.  Seth cracks me up with his crazy feet and how they constantly kick his high chair tray.  You would think he would hurt his feet doing that.  Isaac was being goofy also and then kept insisting on having a picture taken of his dinosaur.

 

My morning…

This is what I emailed my husband this morning...  (This all happened after I dropped him off at school.  Since we only have one car I bring him to school the days I need the car.)

Want to know how my morning has gone?  Well, let me tell you. :)

Seth threw up on the way home.  I think he drank his milk too fast when it was spilling all over (due to the fact I forgot to add a piece to the top of his bottle that would have prevented this from happening) or I gave him too much since I thought most of it spilled and he threw it all up on the way home.  As I'm taking his clothes off and getting his clothes and the car seat cover in the wash Isaac says he has to pee.  He's standing at the top of the stairs and I told him to come downstairs to pee.  He comes down and I find out he peed already.  All over the floor at the top of the stairs and it dripped off of him on his way down the steps so the steps all have drips of pee on them.  Seth is sitting in a diaper at the moment which is leaking poop out of the side.  Isaac's pants are covered in pee. And the Connor kids are due to arrive at any moment.  Thankfully Paula came with the kids this morning and showed up right as I had everything cleaned up and the boys were both changed, etc.
Now I'm doing more laundry since now I have mounds of it.  I ran the car seat cover through once already and it didn't get totally cleaned so I have to wash it again.  I need to leave soon so I can bring the stuff I'm selling to the consignment shop...  Thankfully Seth is now napping and the carseat cover should be clean soon...hopefully.
So aren't you glad you weren't able to stay home this morning.  I bet teaching is better than this :)
Love you,
Rachael

Joe's response: This sounds pretty similar to my morning at school. 
(He teaches Juniors and Seniors in High School... :)

Yep, it was one of "those" kinds of mornings.  So glad the rest of the day has gone much better and I even stopped at McDonald's for lunch with the boys on the way home from going to the consignment shop.  This afternoon I have a meeting with the pastor at the church we've been attending.  They are looking for a part time secretary and some of the work I could do from home.  I'm really hoping this works out. 

For now I leave you with this song that a friend of mine posted and I just have to share it:
