Falling for Fall

Sorry, folks. We know it’s been a long time since the last post, but it’s just hard to find the time these days to take pictures, not to mention post them on the web. Here are a couple goodies from the past couple months.

Great Aunts Jan and Barb came to visit in August. We celebrated with a visit to the Dallas World Aquarium via the DART train. Jan was the lucky one who got to entertain Seth on the way there!

We’re big fans of the short buzz cut for little boys–so much less work–but here is an attempt at giving Seth daddy’s hairdo.

Mommy’s a sucker for the holidays. Here is Seth getting in the spirit with his mummy shirt.

Thanks Grandma Peggy and Grandpa John for the personalized glow-in-the-dark shirt!

Seth wanted nothing to do with carving pumpkins. Of course, Daddy was gagging through the whole thing too!

When you always want to sing “Bringing Home My Baby Bumble Bee,” this costume only makes sense. He liked trick-or-treating this year!

Reading is still one of Seth’s favorite things. Here’s story time last night with Daddy!

Well, that’s all we’ve got for now. Hope you’re all doing well. For those of you who haven’t heard, we are expecting Weadock Wee One #2 in May! Wish me luck on getting through these sick times and on ever getting pictures posted again:)

Florida Fun!

We just got back from 10 days in Florida and had an amazing time. Thank you to everyone who let us invade their house w/ a 2-year-old!

Seth and Mommy on the airplane on the way to Florida.

The whole Lincoln clan (Sean’s family) on Great Grandma Mary’s front porch.

What trip to the country would be complete w/o a lawn tractor ride?!

Seth’s second cousin Zach and his new bride Annie (the wedding was a little wet).

Seth at his first trip to the beach. He liked all the “dirt.”

Our little beach bum family.

Seth and second cousin Kelly in Mt. Dora. He’s rough, but we promise he did not give her that nasty bruise!

The losing team in our mini golf tournment. Not pictured: Sean, me, Uncle JD and Justin. Yes, all 6 of us lost to Uncle Brad.

First jet ski ride. Did we mention that this lake is full of gators?

Seth and Daddy on the Jungle Cruise at Disney World.

Mommy and Seth on the Buzz Light Year ride.

The place where dreams come true.

Seth’s dream come true–another stuffed animal!

Not all dreams come true. This is Seth and Mommy on the plane ride home. Not only was vacation over, but we felt like we wrestled an octopus named Seth for nearly 3 hours!

As always, we love to read your comments. Next up: 2nd birthday party pictures.

Holiday Madness

Sorry for the long delay in getting some updates to you guys. Life has been nothing but madness since mid-November. Enjoy the pics!

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!

Happy Birthday, Little Buddy!

Seth’s 1st birthday weekend celebration was a blast! It’s hard to believe the little guy has been in our lives for a year already, but I can’t imagine how we ever got by without him.

For some reason, other people’s beds are so much fun to roll around in. At least in this photo he has clothes on–you might want to wash those sheets, Grandma Dodo!

No trip to Kingsland is complete without a boat ride. Seth may have somewhat mastered walking on land, but his sea legs still have lots of room for improvement!

Hopefully he’ll get the hang of this before Christmas rolls around!

Instead of the old paper cone hat, we opted for a more humiliating felt cake hat. You had to be quick to get a picture of it on his head–good job, Aunt Nat!

After seeing the tradition at several other 1st birthday parties, Daddy decided to bake Seth a special smash cake. It took the little guy a while to dig in, but soon icing was flying!

He’s all smiles after eating the most sugar he’s ever had in his life!

On our last night in Kingsland, we ate dinner at Chili’s in Marble Falls. We braved the heat on the patio to enjoy the beautiful lake view, but the real sight was Seth eating pizza for the first time.

Mom and Dad’s big birthday gift for our little monster was a red wagon. We tried it out last week when temps. dropped into the 90s (bearable). Seth loves having a 360-degree view of the neighborhood and feeling like a big boy!

Thank you to everyone who brought/sent gifts and for all of your love and support through our first year of parenthood!

Walker, Texas Walker

Texas villains beware! Seth is the new sheriff in town and his bow-legged gait strikes fear in the heart of all criminals, or at least those who walk slowly.

It’s not Mt. Everest, but Seth’s early b-day present from Grandma Peggy and Grandpa John will get him one step closer to base camp.

All the water toys in the world could not equal the enjoyment of the hose. Here Seth helps Dad cool down in this endless 100+ heat.

With the cost of healthcare on the rise, we figured it was time to start training Seth for taking care of us in our later years! No, really he’s made Great Grandma JoAnn’s wheelchair one of his new favorite toys!

We made a quick trip to Lubbock to visit the great grandparents. Here is the 4-generation shot.

Move over Picasso. If Seth will quit eating the paint long enough to put some on paper, he could really make a name for himself!

When Grandma Peggy bought Seth the pink shirt, she insisted he wear it with navy blue shorts. Here is proof that we listened, for once. He also shows off his new standing prowess.

Seth’s room gets a toddler makeover, complete with a new play corner.

Based on his growth rate, this may be the only time Seth has any success at gymnastics. He had an awesome time at Gracie’s Little Gym birthday party.

Mr. Independent

We have returned from our trip to the Pickering “Ranch” and are resting up from all the excitement. Here are some photo highlights from the holiday.

Seth was proud of himself when he got to belly up to the bar with everyone else in the family. Unlike everyone else, though, he only drank some apple juice!

His new 4th of July outfit said it all regarding the little man’s current attitude. The shirt read “Mr. Independent” and the shorts read “Super Star” on the butt. Here is Seth in his new outfit. He’s angry because Daddy is stifling that independence.

He’s been a little fish for a while now, but this was his first swim in the lake.

Over the weekend Seth became quite at home on Papa and Grandma’s boat, aka Dodo’s Dinghy.

Daddy and Seth watch the water for any signs of fish.

It’s hard to believe that Seth will be one year old in just a few weeks!
We love you all!

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!

High gas prices won’t stop me!!

Our little trucker makes another appearance…but this time his truck was broken down and needed a little push. Seth was up to the challenge. Just don’t ask him to walk and buy gas…he’s not quite there yet.

Also, here are a few recent pictures. Mealtime is his time to shine!
