Seth Kyle Thomas

I'm so in love with being this little boy's Mommy! 

I could watch him read stories all day long - and he would read stories all day long and be completely content. He has to pull every book of the shelf to find the one he wants, then find the perfect spot to sit, make sure the book is upright and flip through all the pages while pointing at the pictures and blabbering away. 

He's 100% boy. Loves his trucks, balls of any kind and 99.9% of the time has his sand shovel in his hand, scooping anything that is scoop-able.  He goes in for his 15 month (tear) checkup next week and I can't wait to see how much he has grown! Both yesterday and today he came to me when he had a stinky diaper and "told" me....seriously? Are we here already? He keeps my days full of fun, laughter and love and I'm going to soak up this time of just him and I for as long as I get it! 

More news!

Jeremy came home from work on Monday, August 22nd to this...

Our little boy is going to be a big brother!!!

Brother or sister? 

 We are so thankful for this second little blessing 

and can't wait to see what fun this year will bring! 

Back in SC

Now that we've been home for over 5 weeks and I just finished posting about our trip, I guess I should catch up on what we've been up to here!

Seth is 14 months! He is down to taking one nap a day which varies in time but is usually in the 12-3 range. This also means that he is just getting on bottle before bed at night and drinks milk out of his big boy cup throughout the rest of the day. He loves to be independent whether it be eating his food or brushing his teeth. He is still obsessed with books and will bring you them repeatedly for story time throughout the day. He still loves to be outside and we have started taking swimming lessons with Seth's best bud and his Mommy. He loves to play on the couch and has learned the proper way to get off of it. He is also a pro at signing "Please" which is the cutest thing and makes his Mommy and Dada super proud.

Jeremy is doing well in the school year so far. He enjoys his kids and hasn't had any major issues come up yet. He has also begun taking his Masters classes, so Seth doesn't see him on Mondays or Wednesdays when he goes straight to class from work and doesn't get home until after 9pm. It's been a transition, but we know it will all be worth it in the long run!

Here's some pictures of his sweetness!

 

 

 

 

 

When did my baby get so big!? 

Back in NY

We had a somewhat eventful trip home, but we made it back and enjoyed a bit more time with family before we headed off...

Always bittersweet goodbyes, but we can't say thank you enough to everyone who made our visit so special <3 

Water fun

I can't even begin to express how simply peaceful and beautiful it was there. Literally right on the water. When the tide came in and it was crashing against the shore, I could have sat there and listened forever. Mom & I were a little apprehensive to go in the water, but we certainly had a lot of fun!

"Our" house

The pirates were coming! 

Goodbye, Maine...until next time!
