All Clear

Yesterday I took Sean to see his pediatrician. He's been waking up 2-3 times a night for about a week now and it's been very difficult to get him back to sleep. We'd assumed it was just teething. Some parent resources also state that when babies are mastering developmental milestones, such as walking or talking, they will awaken more during the night. However, the daughter of another mom I know had the same symptoms and it turned out she had a double ear infection! So I was a little worried, but his ears and throat are healthy. We are just giving a little pain medication to help with the teething so Sean can sleep at night.

No More Toys

I don't think that we need to buy Sean any more toys because he only wants our cell phones and car keys. Or does this mean he's entering puberty already?

Word Up

Here are Grandma and Sean in the toy aisle. Grandma and Grandpa came down for a quick visit since I had a meeting to attend for work. And Sean has been saying some new words!

Yesterday, while I was at work and Matthew and Sean were reading his book on colors, Sean said, "Brown." Matthew was floored! Then this morning, Sean said, "Grandpa," and "Grandma." He hasn't repeated himself yet and I'm just sorry that I missed all the excitement.

Our First Evening Sans Sean

This also means Sean had his first evening sans Mommy & Daddy. We were a bit nervous about it, but Sean had fun with The Babysitter and even fell asleep (whew!), and we got to enjoy a wonderful meal with wine, champagne, and adults.

First Meeting with The Babysitter

Sean enjoyed a little snack in the car before we headed back home. We are going to attend an engagement party on saturday night and I wanted Sean to meet The Babysitter beforehand so he wouldn't get stranger/separation anxiety. I love his hair in these photos - just got it from napping in the car.

This Little Piggy

I thought it was funny how Sean kept bopping this snoring pig. Kinda like Mommy bops Daddy when he snores. Well, I don't bop him that hard...

Mess? What Mess?

We went to the bookstore to get some new books for bedtime reading. Sean decided to help Momma in his own way... However, they were all CDs.
