Fall Time Fun!

The temperatures may be dropping (finally), but things are really picking up for Seth around our house. After a week long bout with a stomach bug, we decided we needed to celebrate a healthy kid with a trip to the pumpkin patch this weekend. Here are a few highlights from that visit, along with a couple other cute shots.

We put away the high chair tray so that Seth could join us at the table. Now we just need to teach him that putting his feet on the table is not good manners!

While he awaits a purchase of a family dog–are we really up for that one–Seth occupies a lot of his time at home “petting” Molly.

The pumpkins weren’t much of a hit at the pumpkin patch, but Seth got a kick out of the petting zoo. Here is Seth feeding a goat. What you don’t see in the picture is Seth feeding himself the goat feed instead of the goat.

No pumpkin patch trip is complete without a hay ride.

Not sure who’s doing the eating in this picture.

He used to be a total ham for the camera, but now it’s hard to get a shot with a smile. Here’s our “happy” picture amidst all the pretty pumpkins.

We were told this farm still had pumpkins on the vines, but these vines had long seen better days. Seth really wasn’t interested in the pumpkins scattered about, though. He just enjoyed walking around in the dirt.

What is it about boys and tractors?

The toy store in any room? Any drawer that is at Seth’s height.

A rare smile!

Our next post will probably include Halloween pictures, so stay tuned! Please leave comments!

An Overdue Mega Pic Update!

It’s been a whirlwind last couple of months for us. And, though we managed to pull out the camera and document the time, we are just now getting a chance to post the pics. Sorry to keep you waiting!

Seth tries out shoes for the first time before heading to Sarah Salsgiver’s 3rd b-day party in the park. Actually, these are Sarah’s hand-me-downs!

Mommy, Daddy and Seth invaded the Schwarz pool over Memorial Day weekend. Seth was a natural in the water and stylin’ with a post-swim do.

Papa Earl and Grandma Dodo put a swing in the big oaks for little Seth.

Our house went through temporary destruction as we pulled up the carpet and treated the concrete to rid it of cat urine prior to new carpet installation. Of course we also had to eliminate the source of the odor, so we said farewell to beloved Polly. She was a good kitty with a bad bladder.

Seth’s increased mobility forced us to finally invest in the entertainment center that keeps electronics out of reach!

Aunt Meg hangs out with her little buddy while mom and dad work around the house.

This is Seth after a few doses of antibiotics for his first ear infection. He’s feeling better!

A million dollar smile!

Double trouble.

Please leave us a comment and let us know you’re visiting!

There has been some adjusting going on when it comes to Sean and Val’s original babies. Both Molly and Polly have been very welcoming towards Seth as long as he isn’t crying or within arms reach. Tonight both got a closer look at the new addition to the family.

I’m sure they will be rubbing on him in no time. Also check out the Videos page for another short clip!
