Even with an ear infection, he's so happy lately. He's really into us, wanting hugs and attention, especially crying when Daddy leaves the room. If Daddy doesn't give him adequate attention as soon as he gets home, he gets upset, even hurt. He attacks Savannah with hugs, wrapping his arms around her legs and leaning on her so that everywhere she walks, he walks/drags along laughing.
About three weekends ago, Seth lost his beef a couple of times. He never seemed very unhappy. (Fortunately for me it happened on tile and concrete.)
About 10 days later he woke up with really labored breathing, a lot of fluid in his chest. He tried to cough but acted as if it hurt. Brad and I tried to help him get back to sleep, even took him in the bed with us. I finally decided it might do him some good to cry. Sounds self-serving, but I believe it worked. He fell asleep, and when I checked on him at 7 am, his breathing sounded good. He's been coughing now for almost 2 weeks. It's tapored to a dry cough.
Now he has pink eye.
Seffie dances now. He does it automatically, usually to cartoon music. I didn't encourage it. He raises his hands and walks around the living room turning in big circles. I thought he'd gotten it from Savannah. He might have. But they watch Dragon Tales and that's how they dance on the cartoon.
Wipee, sippie cup, floppies, cd cases, dragging the long dust pan behind him, mustard bottle
Last night he figured out that when we reach for something in his hand (that he shouldn't have) that he should hang on to it and that he can get away. He doesn't run yet, but I can tell his step gets anxious like he's trying to run.
Last night he got hold of the songbook that Savannah and I were singing from. He came at me with it, I told him to give it to Mama, then he turned before he got to me. I know he was teasing me!
