What a Difference a Year Makes

August 4, 2010

What a year it has been. From the worry and anticipation, to the pain of labor, to the
undying love we feel for our sweet boy. Our lives will never be the same and that is okay with me!

rockin' and ROLLIN'

Seth has been working on it for a few days now, and has finally had success! He rolled from his belly to his back for the first time. He was so proud of himself! He is growing up sooooo fast.

Sea World

For our 5th Wedding Anniversary we decided to go to Sea World. Sea World holds a special place in my heart because that is where we got engaged. We were super excited to take Seth with us to celebrate such a special day! We got up in the morning and breakfast then let Seth take a nap before we headed out.

Once we got there, we bought our passes and headed in. We saw the dolphins (my favorite) and then got our seats for the Shamu show. The show was packed and Seth did okay. He is not a fan of clapping so he got scared a few times, but other than that he did fine.

I really wanted to see the new Dolphin show, but it was filled up 45 minutes before each show. I guess I will have to wait until next time. Instead, we just walked around and enjoyed all of the exhibits. We saw the Arctic exhibit, the sharks, and we got to see them feeding the penguins.

We bought season passes so we are hoping to go after the summer when it is less crowded!

San Diego Zoo

Last week we took Seth on his first trip to the Zoo. I was a little nervous because we had never been away from home that long and I didn't know how he would react. I was worried he wouldn't eat or nap, but I was wrong. Everything was fine and we all had a great time! The worst part of the trip was the car ride. Seth hates the carseat, so we made a pit stop at In N Out to rest and eat.

Once we got to the zoo, finding parking was a pain so Stephen dropped us off at the entrance and met us inside once he got us a spot. Once everyone was inside, we met up with my parents and took the bus tour. It was nice to see most of the zoo on the tour.


After the bus tour we walked around and saw so many great animals. Seth took a nap in the Moby and woke up just in time to see the Pandas. He really enjoyed riding in his stroller all day.




We stayed until about 6:30. We headed to our hotel where Seth ate and knocked out for the evening. Stephen and I ordered room service and turned in for the night. Next stop: Sea World!

July 4th

Our 4th of July was pretty uneventful. We spent most of the day at home relaxing. We watched some TV, and just relaxed as a family. In the afternoon we headed to my parents. My dad BBQ'd some delicious tri-tip and chicken. We packed our swim suits, but didn't ever make into the pool.We wanted to watch Zach light off fireworks, so everyone headed over to Stephen's parents house. It was fun to watch Zach's firework extravaganza, complete with sparkler races and strobe light dancing.

Seth was a champ, I put him in the Moby and he slept through the whole thing.

Father's Day

This year, was Stephen's first chance to celebrate Father's day for himself. We had a great day! Seth and I got up early, headed to the grocery store and bought lots of goodies. We came home and made Stephen fresh coffee and banana pancakes. While he enjoyed his breakfast and the newspaper, I made spicy cilantro salad dressing (like from El Torito) and a pasta salad for our afternoon BBQ.

In the afternoon we headed over to my Mom and Dad's for a BBQ and swimming. The pool was heated so even Seth, was able to enjoy the pool. Stephen's parents were able to come too, so it was a great day spent with the whole family.

2 months old

Where has the time gone? We are currently in a waiting period with our insurance, so his 2 month appointment isn't until July 7th. I will have to post then with his measurements!
