The nights are now starting to feel cooler so I know that summer is winding to a close. (Cry!) But this summer we were able to do a lot of fun things since Seth was older and able to enjoy things more:

We went on bike rides....

We went to the West Jordan Fair and watched fireworks

and rode the Merry Go Round!

We went to the zoo several times...


We celebrated my 30th birthday...

I got a lot of great things!

We took Seth swimming for the first time. He loved it!

We went to Wheeler Farm...

We had a cookout in Millcreek Canyon with our friends Jon, Briana, and Matthew...

We waited in the horrendously long line in Payson for their annual Salmon Dinner. It was well worth the wait!

Overall it was a pretty eventful summer!

Ice Cream? Anyone?

Yes!!! Seth will take an ice cream cone and devour it!

I couldn't resist taking pictures of him enjoying this messy ice cream cone!

And I just love this video. I love how his cheeks just puff out as he is trying to dig his face further into the cone. He is becoming so adorable!

Seth's 15 month appointment went really well. He didn't really even cry when he got his immunization/flu shots. The doctor said he is looking great and was so impressed at how well Seth moved around the room. (He climbed up and down off an adult chair non-stop!)

His 15 month stats:

Weight 21 lbs 9 oz (15%)

Length 30 in (20%)

Head 45.9 cm (20%)

So he is still little but the doctor said his height/weight ratio was well balanced so there wasn't a need to worry.


It is surprising how much Seth has changed even since he turned 1. Here are a few of the things he does now:

• He has (for the most part) moved to one 2-3 hour nap a day and sleeps 10-11 hours at night.






• He has 9 teeth and I think a 10th one is trying to come in now.






• He refuses to eat any sort of vegetables. I have tried them all and he eats around them. The only way I have gotten any in him is by buying the apple/carrot juice. Disguise with sugar!






• He has learned to pull the chairs out from the kitchen table so he can climb onto the table and walk around. He is going to crack his head open!






• He eats crayons...how can that taste better than carrots or corn? Seriously.






• He hits me when he gets frustrated and then he immediately gives me a hug.






• He loves to chase the dogs around and lay on them. They avoid him wherever possible.






• He is saying a few small words...eye, uh-oh, and hi.






• Still not saying mama or dada :(






• He is becoming very interested in books and will climb into my lap to read one with me.






• He hides in a corner when he knows he is doing something he's not supposed to but he doesn't look scared. Instead he has this little mischeivious grin on his face and he gets in this stance like he's saying, "Come on. Try and get me. I'm gonna run the other way as soon as you try to catch me."






• He enjoys putting anything in the garbage can. I have caught him putting several new or irreplaceable items in the abyss. No telling what other valuable things have been thrown away.






• He is really enjoying day care. The teachers there have said that he is just the happiest baby all day. He was pretty sick for the first little while (and has a cold now) but he actually seems to be handling the germs pretty well now.
