Teething Baby

After 3 months of drool there is evidence that Seth is getting teeth. They have not emerged through the gums yet, but there are two red spots on the lower jaw indicating that teeth are about to come through. Poor baby! He is still so sweet, but not eating and sleeping as well as usual and wants to be held all the time, especially by Mommy. He is drooling more than ever and putting everything in his mouth. We should see some pearly whites come through in the next few days and then hopefully he will feel better too. For now it is infant Tylenol, Orajel, cold teethers and teething biscuts. We went apple, peach, and pear picking today at a local farm. It was so much fun. We forgot the camera, so the pictures are on the iPhone to be uploaded to the computer. Savannah was so into it this year and very excited. Can't wait to go get our pumpkin next month. Seth slept almost the entire time. So much for first apple picking experience. There will be many more to come in New England.

Got it wedged in the right spot
I will bite on whatever I can find--even my towel after a bath
Even it this isn't a real apple, it tastes mighty good.

Seth's Welcoming

On Sunday (I have been tryng for 3 days to upload photos and Blogger has not been very cooperative, so don't mind the order, I am just glad they are here) we had Seth's Baby Welcoming and Naming. We had a ceremony at our congregation and Seth was named and welcomed and then we had a reception afterwards at a local restaurant called Tango, which is an Argentinian/Italian Bistro. It is so nice there and the food is all made there and delicious. We were surrounded by loved ones and it was a wonderful way to welcome and share our darling son. We love you Seth! Thanks for giving us a reason to celebrate everyday! Savannah and her friend Ari. Savannah and her friend Maggie playing magnet dolls, Thanks Auntie I!
