Starting a blog!


Brett and I have talked about wanting to start a blog since Sean's birth, however, anyone with kids knows that sometimes life gets in the way. Since Sean has been more and more active recently I really want a place to capture all his developments and share with friends and family. So hopefully we will be updating this as regularly as possible with photos and videos. 

Somehow, Sean is already 7 1/2 months old! He is cute as can be and Brett and I fall a little more in love with him each day. 

One of Sean's favorite activities right now is eating :-). His menu currently includes squash, bananas, carrots, peas, green beans, pears, sweet potatoes and oatmeal cereal. We try a new food every 3 days so we are looking forward adding to this in the coming weeks. He really loves to eat. He opens his mouth as soon as the spoon leaves the bowl (sometimes before). The pictures below are an example of this. In the first one the spoon is not even close enough to his mouth to make it in the picture! We will post a video of this soon. He can get rather impatient if we are taking longer than he would like between bites. 



A few other favorite activities right now are his jumperoo, playing with his feet and chewing on anything he can get his little hands on. For Christmas we bought him an exersaucer. He really seems to enjoy it but we noticed that he kept trying to jump in it. Turns out there is a jumperoo at his daycare that his teacher says he loves and he was trying to make the stationary exersaucer do the same thing. We finally decided that we would get him one for our house and we are so glad we did. It came this past weekend and as soon as we put him in it and he started jumping he gave us the biggest grin - that right there made it worth it! Here is a little video. Please excuse my "baby" voice. :-) 



We try to take Sean on walks whenever it is nice outside. This winter did not provide a lot of opportunity for this but hopefully we will get a few weeks of spring before it turns to Summer in Norther Virginia. I will leave you with a picture of Mr. Cool from a walk we took last Sunday.
