Six Months

 November 6, Playing on the floor with Sissy.  Seth really enjoys all his siblings and loves to be near them.

 October 30, We started using cloth diapers.  We have 10 of these green Coolababy diapers, we'll see how it goes.

 November 7, Enjoying a nice warm fall day outside while mom reads Calico Bush to all the kids.

 November 13, Seth's first time with a babysitter.  Of course, it had to be Auntie Heather.  He did great, he slept most of the time.

 We think it is funny how many camo clothes this kid has, especially considering we didn't buy any of them.

 November 16, Hanging out with his siblings while they play the Wii.  There have been so many times this month where I put Seth down with his toys and then when I go to check on him, he isn't there! Instead I find him hanging out with his siblings, he loves it.

 November 17, Some Daddy time! Seth doesn't seem to mind too much that Daddy is growing out his beard. 

 November 20, Twins! Everyone comments about how much these two look alike.

 November 21, Seth has started making this silly sound where he stretches out his neck and sounds kinda like a wookie. I think he does it because it makes us laugh.  He has also started fake coughing because it gets our attention, that makes us laugh too.

 November 22, First Thanksgiving.  Seth is spending more time in his high chair playing with toys as he likes to be where we are when we are eating.  On Thanksgiving we let him try some new foods like potatoes, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes.  Some fun we have with Seth at the table is that we come up with a reason to clap our hands (like...mom made us this great meal today) or anything silly and then on the count of three we all clap loudly and it startles Seth and he gets big huge eyes until we stop.  We think it's hilarious and we usually do it several times at dinner just for fun.

 November 25, This is his newest silly face.  He scrunches up his eyes and shows his gums while smiling.  We just love it!

 November 25, Jared pulled out his old Santa suit from when he was a baby and put it on Seth and it fits!  We got all the Christmas decorations put up before dad left for China.  Isn't he just too cute for words?

 November 29, Seth is 6 months and loves to eat mashed food (except for pea soup), so we thought we would give him some Cheerios.  It took him a little to get used to them, but after just a couple he got the hang of it and loves them.

After a month of cloth diapering, we love it, so we are trying out some other brands of diapers, aren't these cute?  Oh, and there's that silly face again!  Seth likes to play on the floor either sitting up or lying on his tummy, which is also how he sleeps.  Sometimes he pushes up so high like this that he falls over on his back, but he doesn't know how to roll back over yet so he just kicks around and yells like an upside down turtle.  I keep finding him like that in his bed after a nap or in the middle of the night when he wakes up.  So, it's been a great month.  He still isn't sleeping well at night (we started sleep training to help him fall asleep on his own, but it's a slow process), but nursing is starting to go better and he is really happy a lot of the time now, so that's good.  He even recognizes the camera and knows to start smiling when he sees it. :)
