Seth's 8 Weeks and We Are Home in CT 8 Days

We are having a great time anc can't believe that Seth is 8 weeks today. Time is going fast. It is amazing how quickly he is growing up and changing every day. He is adjusting great and went to the pediatrician and weighs in at a whopping 10 lbs 12 1/2 oz, is 22 1/2 inches long. The doctor said he is very healthy. He received his two month vaccinations and took them like a champ. A few quick tears and no reaction afterwards, so we were very happy. He will get his 2nd Hep B vaccine at the end of the month and then go back at 4 months. We had some friends visit last weekend and my aunt came and spent three days with us. She was a lifesaver playing and bonding with Savannah and watching her while we took Seth to the doctor. She even did middle of the night feedings and helped me so much. We loved having her here and hope she comes back soon. Otherwise just hanging out and adjusting to life as a family of four and waiting for the weather to get nice. We have had lots of rain. Savannah also had another visit at Oak Grove School where she will attend in the Fall and loves it and gave her future teacher a hug. Now we just have to get on the ball with potty training. She has been doing lots of sitting and tellling us she has to go, but no going. She understands though and knows she has to go on the potty to go to school and says she wants to wear big girl pants. I think she is close. Her personality is that one day she will just "do it" and never turn back. Here are our two little loves...
