we reached double digits...

Seth 10 Months Old

Today my little Seth reached a milestone. He clicked that little number over from 9 months to 10 months old. Why does that seem like such a big moment? Why does it feel like he can no longer be called a baby...but must be refered to as a "toddler?" Well never mind the double digits or not...he will still be referred to as "the baby" by me for many more months (and possibly years) to come.

For such a long time I longed for a little version of my husband to come into my life. I loved having Lyza first don't get me wrong. I could not have asked for a more perfect "first child" for me. But on the flip side of that...who wouldn't want to raise a "little steve?" I sure wanted to. I wanted to see how my husband would have looked like when he was younger? I wanted to be reminded of him when I looked into my son's face. Heavenly Father heard my pleas and sprinkled my Seth with pixie dust before sending him to me... and poof I have my little steve.

Seth, what strides you have made in this last month. You have...

Learned to love sleeping in your bed.

Figured out how to open up cabinets. (not my favorite addition)

Stopped loving the bottle.

Learned to sign a total of 4 new signs (thank you, dog, ball, milk)

Found a best friend in your sister

Learned how to blow kisses on mommy's neck

Enjoyed table food during family dinners

Said you first word (ball) and made daddy so proud

Double digits or single digits...toddler or baby...Seth brings such happiness to us each day.

I mean who wouldn't find joy in this???
