at seth's 15 month he weighed about 22 1/2 lbs. not too good, considering he weighed more than that at his 1 year. hmm.... so here it is - in all reality....:
*seth is the PICKIEST eater i've had up til this point (& my other kids were picky). he practically bypassed baby food and was actually a good little table-food eater before 1. then he realized the control he had and decided he wanted to be very SELECTIVE on what he ate, mostly just sticking to his bottle. well, i decided i'd better get him weened then. so around 14-15 months i weaned him. he really missed his ba-ba for a good week (especially when he'd see other babies drinking them). but he did ok. i probably missed them more than him. he refuses to drink milk now. (probably the reason for some weight-loss). his eating really didn't improve either. little stinker.
*seth is the crankiest baby i've ever had. i mean he's really cute and really happy (for the most part) at home, but when we're in public, boy he's a stink! he yells/screams at people who try to talk to him or help him. he doesn't really like other kids (except for babies), and he cannot really be amused by anyone. what a little punk. i just tell people he's ornery and "sorry".
*seth is still not saying more than like, uh 2 words. what? my other kids were up to like 20 words by now. but am i concerned? no. he's a communicator so i know when he's ready he'll talk. he says "trash" by fluctuating his voice in a certain way, he says "mom" and "dadda", and "more" in sign language. crazy boy. oh, and he "barks" for every animal! except for pigs, he did learn how to snort. (hee hee)
*speaking of trash, the boy is OBSESSED with trash. if he see's trash, he wants it in the trash. he throws all of his diapers away. he takes note of trashcans everywhere we go. when he was a little younger, flip flops, lids, kitchen accessories, etc. also ended up in the trash (some we didn't know about). i think it's really cute. maybe he'll be a garbage man, or even better, maybe he'll change the world with even better recycling or something. (btw- i just spent $65 replacing some part to my mixer that apparently ended up in the trash. grrr...)
*favorite foods: black licorice, go-gurts, peas, corn, chocolate cheerios, waffles, nutrigrain bars, jelly bellies. i know, what a good mom i am to offer such healthy foods to a baby!
*after all of our summer travels, he got used to me putting him to bed. this bad habit was taking up to an hour. not gonna work for this busy momma! so last week i put him back in his crib and let him work it out. with-in 3 days he was back to getting himself to sleep without crying. happy momma!
*seth LOVES TO READ! we read book throughout the day. i love that he loves to read. maybe one of these days he'll start speaking in sentences from all of those books we read!

cutie! Erin did the same thing with milk. She still doesn't drink milk. (but neither do i, so i get it.) at 18 months she ate only pretzels and apple juice for about 6 weeks. i was worried given she was my only child but she's turned out great! the funny things kids will do. we'd love to see you again, someday...
