Time to catch up

So now that we have made it through the holidays and the dust is finally settling, we realized we are long overdue to make a post. During the down time, the camera continued to roll; here are a few of our favorites.

Seth in his little Spanky outfit (thanks Great-grandma Rose)

Here he is telling Daddy "There's always next year"

A little holiday cheer

Thanks to Santa, we no longer have one spare inch of storage space. We are very grateful, but next year, a card will do (seriously)

Too much booze on New Year's eve will get ya

Seth and Grandma enjoing some QT

Fresh out of the bath (looks like Ma needs to get in)

Bath is by far his favorite time of the day

Slanted eyes, drooling...what's in that bottle Ma?

My main man hanging out with Grandma

Here is Grandma Susie showing off her bravery by holding Seth soon after feeding time - that's what the towel is for...protection.

Someone has a case of the giggles

Seth is very hard to get on camera laughing. As soon as he sees it, he seems to ignore everything else. But here's what happens if he doesn't know he's being filmed.

Testing a new camera

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

What a birthday for me. First we went out to lunch with my birfday partner in crime, my sweetheart of a mother. Then we took Seth to go see Santa for the first time. Santa was a far cry from Willie in Bad Santa, but Seth did not seem to care.

Meet Olivia Rose Todd

We are so happy to introduce you to Olivia Rose Todd. She is the newest addition to the Todd clan. Shannon and Melissa welcomed her into the world Thursday, December 11, 2008 at 3:46 pm EST. She tipped the scales at 6 lbs. 5 oz. and stretched an impressive 19.5 inches. Mom and Dad have been understandably busy, so their blog has not been updated since the birf, but I'm sure it soon will be. Check it out at: http://www.totsites.com/tot/nctodds

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

It won't be long before Seth is on the move. Here he is demonstrating his ability to roll over.

The Wingmen

The pictures you are about to see can only be described as pure greatness. Never before have two men had so much potential to make ladies clothes spontaneously fall off. Seth and his buddy Josh Tranter will leave trails of broken hearts where ever they go.

Josh says, "Hey dude, you feeling this yet?"

Back to D-Town

Seth is quite the traveler. He continued his jet setting ways with a return trip to MI to hang out with Grams and Gramps. The trip was great. Aside from his spending some QT with the family, Stacy got out to do a little shopping with Mom, and I hit the lanes with the father inlaw. To quote my hero Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, "That dude sure can roll!"

I had to put this picture of Rocky up because I think it's hilarious that a dog can lie down, place his entire body weight on his nuts and not seem to mind.

Already a Picky Eater

Seth has been eating food now for about a month and generally takes a liking to just about everything. However, if he has not had something before, his first reactions are pretty funny.

Seriously, cutest baby ever!

I know I am a little biased, but c'mon!

Clarky!!!

We had a global meeting for work last week and the Senior VP or our division lives in Tampa which means...the meeting was in Tampa. So, not only did I not have to travel, but I got to hang out with one of my best buds after the meeting. Tom Clark was in the house!! Basically, this guy took me under his wing when I move to NC and taught everything I needed to know, thanks Tom!

FYI, Tom has a rental house in Boone, NC. It's a log cabin in the mountains and it's unbelievable. If you're interested, let me know and I'll forward you the rates.

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

The title is for all you Seinfeld fans out there. This is the definition of multi-tasking!

S'up

Enough said.

Happy Halloween!!

Ok, our 2nd favorite holiday, Halloween, was no disappointment this year, especially considering is was Seth's first. Unfortunately, Seth's mustache make up was water soluble. So, being the drool monkey that he is, it didn't last long. But, he was a Harley dude...Grandpa would have been proud!!

"My bike is outside warming up"

"You're not riding bitch with me"

"Mom's riding with me"

"Dad can follow"

"That was a far ride to the pumpkin patch" (Oh, and I have no idea who that is staring at my ass, but I did fart on her!)

Go Browns!

This kid has got it going on...enough said (thanks Grandma Mimi).

Go Buckeyes!

If you recall, Grandpa Terry got Seth to wear a onesie with some garbage on it:

What's a Spartan?

Well, thanks to Auntie Claire, that nonsense came to an end. The timing couldn't have been better considering the 45-7 ass wooping Ohio State handed MI State yesterday!

Yeah baby, go Bucks!

Next Stop...Pizza

We reached a big milestone today - Seth ate real food for the first time. Technically, I suppose he has eaten rice cereal, but this was his first meal with taste! Sweet Potatoes...mmmmmm! As luck would have it, the batteries in the camera went dead just as he was getting the hang of it. In the video shown, he kind of gets it, but not really. After the camera stopped rolling, he polished off what was left in about 5 minutes. That's our boy!!

The Tunnel of Wonder

I know this thing has an actual name, but I have no idea what it is. Regardless, the little man likes it and as you can see, he loves mirrors.
