Here are some of his first few moments of life...
Checking vitals
After his first bath...LOVE the mohawk :-)
My handsome little man
Seth with his sweet "Big Sisters"
Snuggle time with Daddy
And I LOVE the hospital pics that they took! Hospital pictures have come a LONG way since my girls were born :-) Here's my favorites:
My little cowboy :-)
He is now 3 weeks old! I can't even believe how the time is already flying! We are both doing well. Everything has not gone as I had planned, but I am trying to be flexible. Right now I'm just grateful that he is a healthy little guy! Here are some of my favorite moments over the past few weeks...
The girls love to hold him
This pic is of Seth's first Sunday to go to church. The overalls he wore were Joel's overalls when he was a baby!
I love the way he lays all curled up when he sleeps :-)
Precious face - I love to kiss his little cheeks and lips!
Hanging out in the swing
Love these little feet!
My favorite times - snuggling him close...what a precious gift from God
Zora and I also celebrated birthdays this month :-) Zora chose to have cinnamon rolls for her birthday breakfast, Braum's for lunch, and Chinese buffet for dinner. On her actual birthday we went to see the Smurfs in 3D. Then that weekend we took her to roller skate. She had a blast! Both girls were all smiles as they skated.
For my birthday my husband and mother tried to convince me that I needed to leave all 3 kids and go out for a date. Honestly, all I wanted was a nice quiet day at home in my pjs with no where to go. And that's just what I did. I stayed in my comfy pjs all day and just enjoyed my family. What a blessing :-)
On Sunday, August 21, we had another celebration at our church. Joel and I dedicated Seth to the Lord. We acknowledge that Seth is truly a gift from God to us. We vowed before our family and friends that we would do our best as his parents to always raise him according to God's Word and teach him how to live a godly life. It was a precious time for us.
Seth's dedication
Seth made quite the statement in his tuxedo!
He slept through the entire service
I'm sure I'll have more pictures of my new little man soon. I'll try to post pics of him often...it's just hard to find the time to sit at the computer! Right now my life is a never-ending cycle of feeding, changing diapers, pumping, and trying to spend time with the girls, too! Until next time...
