Sweet, Sweet Seth

Our adorable kids

Our friends the Bennetts came for a visit during

spring break.

It was so fun to see them and their cute little boy! He and Seth are more than 2 months

but less than 2lbs apart. Their dads have been good friends for a long time now.

As Nathaniel would say, "J-Dawg and Seth. BFF."

We are always telling Seth what a good kid he is, and every single day we give thanks that he

is so much easier than Anika was. Several times a day, we'll be doing something, and we'll hear

Seth cooing, and we'll remember, "Oh yeah, Seth is over there!" and there he is, waving his arms and legs

and just looking around at stuff, content as can be. Seth cries when we put him in his car seat,

but then he calms down once we start driving, and sometimes he even falls asleep!

When he's tired, we can usually swaddle him, give him a binkie, and walk with him for a minute

or just lay him down, and he'll fall asleep. He sleeps for hours at a time, and he isn't woken up

by most movements or noises. And perhaps best of all, if he's crying, it's for a reason that we can figure out! We just go through the little checklist - Is he hungry? Does he need a diaper change?

Is he tired? - and voila! he stops crying. It's absolutely miraculous. And I'm not

exaggerating when I say we give thanks every single day.

Not the best picture, but Seth at 9 weeks.

At his 2 month appointment he weighed 14lbs 5oz and was 24 1/4" long

(both in the 75th-90th percentile range).

February 23rd, about 6 1/2 weeks.

February 22nd

February 5th, about 4 weeks

And a cute big sister.
