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.

Summer Fun and a New Cousin to Boot!

Okay, I know I promised to be better about updating the blog, but I hope you can see from the pictures that we’ve just been too busy having fun!

Another try at the 4 generation picture at Aunt Nat’s baby shower.

Crazy Great Aunt Susie!

Our living rug (aka Maggie) continues to grow.

This is the way to get some peace and quiet around the house!

Seth, Dodo and Mom at the Kingsland 4th of July parade.

It’s a holiday, so we blew it out w/ sugar!

Quite the ladies’ man! Seth w/ Loren and Emma Pelky.

The sweaty family awaiting the fireworks. Seth thinks “crackers” are awesome!

Not even 2 years old, and he loves the tube!

Dodo’s jacuzzi tub makes baby shampoo turn into crazy bubbles!

The famous last supper (just before heading to the hospital for induction).

Nat and Seth’s new cousin Ryan.

Dodo and baby Ryan.

Seth helping announce Ryan’s arrival to the Wieland’s neighbors.

Mommy’s last visit w/ Aunt Nat and Ryan.

Stay tuned for pics from our Florida vacation and Seth’s 2nd birthday party!

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!

Summer Days Driftin’ Away

We realize it’s been a while since our last post, but school’s back in session, so mom is back to teaching and Seth is back to daycare. We both had a little adjusting to do, but almost two weeks into it, we’re getting back in the groove–Seth probably more so than mom.

Last weekend, we broke the weekend chore monotony and treated ourselves to Cheesecake Factory for dinner/dessert. Seth loves Cheesecake Factory because they bring out a baby plate as soon as we’re seated that has pieces of bread and bananas for him to chow on. Since he got to sample our desserts, this is probably now his all-time favorite!

We ended the evening with a turn on the carousel. This time Seth rode a horse that went up and down rather than a stationary one. He was a little uncertain. Man, do we really blow it out on the weekends or what?!

Seth and I went for a walk tonight, well I walked, Seth sat in the wagon with his feet up and a glass of juice. It was super hot, so I jumped at the opportunity to run the wagon through some neighborhood sprinklers. We both got soaked! Here is Seth stripped down at home. I don’t know if he’s ever looked more devilish!

Well, back to work. Please leave a comment!

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!

First Haircut and more!

Though he’s currently down and out with a sore throat, Seth has been having a great first summer. Here are some recent highlights!

We’re not sure how much pudding he actually tasted.

Aunt Nat came for a visit and joined Seth in his new pool sans water.

Everyone is happier now that the car seat is facing forward.

Seth’s hair had gotten past the point of cutely messy. Here are some before shots at the kids salon.

Seth did not enjoy the haircut experience.

It was worth it. He looked so boyish and handsome in the end. I will miss the baby curls though.

Seth poses in a new polo shirt with his new hair cut. He looks so much more like a little boy than a baby these days.

Have a wonderful 4th of July!

Walking…you kidding me?

Down and Back Again

A nice, long video of Seth crawling and doing some assisted walking.

Standing & Sleeping

When you work so hard to stand up…

…you have to get some extra sleep whenever you can. Here’s how we found Seth the morning after the video above:

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

Here is mom and Seth sharing some love before they head off to work and school. A big thanks to Grandma DoDo for the cute little duds for this heartbreaker. This may be one of the only years where Seth will wear a shirt that says “love me” and “hug me” all over it!
