Seth's Weblog

It’s been about a month since he first tinkled on the potty. Right now it is just a fun thing to do and another reason to say “hawaaay!” (hooray). We’ve been flushing the contents of his diapers to say bye bye. When we catch him having a movement, we say, “Let’s go poop on the potty.” Usually we’re too late and just flush to show him where it’s supposed to go, but he always knows what we mean and takes off to the potty. One time 2 weeks ago, he was actually able to finish the job on the potty.

It was a good step in training, but more importantly, the day after he finished on the potty, he pooped in his diaper, came to get me and went straight to the potty! I was so proud because the association had been made. Then I got to feeling bad the stomach bug and vertigo and didn’t encourage the potty at all.

When we’re no longer reeling from the blow of baby #3, we’ll potty train more regularly, not give him water right before bed, sit him on the pot 20 minutes after drinking, cotton pants and plastic covers, etc. Right now it’s still fun :)

When he was smaller, I opened more jars of baby diced fruit and vegetables and gave Cheerios at breakfast. He eats more meat now and fresh fruit and vegetables, but he doesn’t understand that it takes time to cook these things.

My mother said I screamed for my breakfast as a baby. He takes after me, although I think I may have been worse. He gets up in his high chair saying, “Eee, eee.” If that doesn’t work, he follows me, hanging on to me. I sometimes can’t even move. I strap him into his high chair and let him bang his head on the head rest. We will see how long it lasts.

In a home decor store today, Seth pointed to a picture of a steaming cup of coffee and said, “hotta” (hot).

His word for more, sounds much like no which was confusing to me at first.

He is sometimes saying, “daddy” now instead of just “da da”.

He has taught us that “waa” (different from “wa-wa” for water) means pick me up. I’m not sure where he got those sounds, but he occasionally adds “up” to it now.

When Seth first wakes up, he looks like I did as a baby.

Seth meows when he sees a pig, I think because their ears are pointed.

He also barks, quacks, moos, neighs and baaaas. And he will oink when he’s encouraged.
