It has been a very busy few weeks since our last update--we had Wes' parents here for a few days and then we headed back to Ohio for 5 days to see my Mom and James, my Dad, Grandma W, and Aunt Jesse! The Ohio shuffle lives on! We arrived back there on Thursday afternoon--Seanna once again did really well on a VERY packed flight and the Baby Einstein video definitely saved the day. We stayed at Mom and James' house on Thurs and Fri --they were so sweet to have all of the "Seanna's" stuff ready for her arrival at their home. She had a pack and play, her own bedroom, diapers, food, formula and even her own ducky tub (see the photo). On Friday afternoon, we all went out for a walk in the neighborhood and then had a sign-along in the family room. On Saturday, we had breakfast with Grandma Weisbrod (Getta and Eggs!) and Dad. Seanna managed to spit up on Grandma's very new red sofa--we had a heck of a time trying to get the formula stain out. Note to self, don't feed her on Grandma's new couch again!

Saturday evening, Seanna went to Aunt Jesse's while we went to a wedding of one of my high school friends. She had a ton of fun and was able to climb on the three big dogs that Jesse had at her house--unfortunately, she still thinks Axel will let her thump his tail too, but he's not having any part of that!

Sunday we went back to Mom and James' house and had a nice night watching NCAA basketball and Brooke (my sister) actually had another color comentatory part of that game at LSU that we were able to watch.

Seanna managed to get her top eye tooth in while we were back there and is now working on several other top teeth as well. She has learned alot of new tricks that she is very proud to show off to everyone! She has learned how to open cabinets doors in the kitchen, and also how to unroll the toilet paper roll, she has learned how to "fake" cry when she doesn't want her diaper changed and is increasing her vocal level every day to make sure that we hear her loud and clear. She has also linked together "Hi Dada" and is learning to wave. We have finished music class for this second round, but we are still going to the tumble center. This past weekend we went to Zoomar's, which is a petting zoo in San Juan Capistrano and Seanna was able to feed the bunnies, ostriches, birds, tortoise, see the horses, goats and a cow. She loves birds the most though (and dogs of course). She is still growing like a weed and is wearing a size 3 shoe already and her 18 month clothes are fitting properly now, so I'm sure they won't last too long. That's about all the updates for now...

Hope everyone is doing well!
Love, Us

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Seanna is doing wonderfully and growing and growing each day. She now wears 18 month clothes and is probably close to 23 lbs. She can easily say mama, dada and hi and is working on some other words of her own. She also is starting to balance herself for a few seconds without any hands and is also able to go back down the step from the kitchen to the family room now. She still loves messing with Axel and pulling Spanish moss from my pots. The top tooth has made an appearance, but it's the second one from the right center--how strange!

The funniest story from last week is after I had my doctor's appt on Tuesday, Wes took us to lunch at Ruby's Diner. Seanna is able to sit in a restaurant high chair and so I fed her her lunch and then she decided that she was still hungry. She ate an entire 1/2 of a dinner roll and more little "puffys" the little melt in your mouth sweet potato flavors--Wes and I laughed so hard! She DEFINITELY loves white bread and anything with starch!!! We also figured out a way to get her to eat her green veggies as I mix it up in the turkey dinner solids or the sweet potatoes and she LOVES it.

We had music class today on St Patrick's Day and thought you might enjoy some of the photos. The lady playing the guitar is the instructor Ms Elena--can you tell Seanna LOVES to watch her? :)

It has been a VERY long two weeks with Seanna--she has been an absolute handful and most of reason I haven't been able to update the blog or get anything else done for that matter :)... she is into ABSOLUTELY everything and can move so quickly you better not blink or she will be getting herself into trouble doing something. She's so smart that when I block her off from one obstacle, she will either go under, over or sometimes through the barrier in order to get what she has set her mind on accomplishing. It's unbelievable to watch her little mind work and see how she figures things out. Two days ago, she was chewing on my finger while I was carrying her and finally I felt the top tooth breaking through. It's been working it's way through the gums for weeks now and it's finally going to make an appearance. We've continued to attend music class and have also joined a tumble center so she is enjoying that as well. She absolutely loves bubbles and believe it or not was able to scale the rock wall with some added incentive and me coaching her from above as to which rock to grab next. It was pretty cool. She is still growing daily and is now wearing 18 month clothes. She can now say "da da" and is created her own vocabulary where she is carrying on a conversation with herself. Her very favorite activity though--chase Axel around the house. She absolutely screams whenever she sees him and the poor dog doesn't know what end is up. It's quite funny to watch. Here are a few photos when she was playing in my office yesterday while I was trying to pay some bills.

Enjoy the weekend!
