The Séamus Weekly - week 44

Another week is in the books and we're fast approaching our trip to Ireland and England.  While little Séamus isn't walking yet, I have high hopes that he will be before we embark on our trip.  He is quite the little character these day, is loving eating all the foods, getting into all the things, and has become obsessed with the remote control - like he cries when we take it away from him.

Sweet boy hit the 10 month mark this week and I just cannot contain my excitement that his birthday is so near!!  This year has quite literally flown by and I have tried to enjoy each and every moment of it.  He still has 2 teeth, is cruising all around, climbs into the drawer of the oven 😝, and loves the remote.

Sleeps: Séamus is on a roll with his sleeping.  He is napping hard core in his crib and his car seat.  He is getting himself to sleep on his own and it has been a seamless transition.  If we time it just right we don't hear a peep out of him!  Still loving our diffuser blend of Sleepyize and Peace & Calming.  He is quite happy in his footie pajamas but will wear just about anything to sleep.

Eats: all the things. He is an acrobat when it comes to eating, his new favorite is to nurse while standing and I'm laying on the couch...or to be twisting and turning and practically doing handstands, I just don't get it.  He loves his high chair and eating all the things with us: rice, beans, peas, pizza, chicken, sausage, fish, puffs, cereal, all. the. things.

Goes: we've been all over: gymnastics for both girls, swimming lessons for Finnley, to our favorite Island and the beach, and then just all the usual places.  He has proven to be another babe that just goes along with whatever we have planned and while we all prefer to be at home, because crawling, he loves to explore and observe everything.

Does: like I've mentioned above cruising everywhere, standing up on his own, he has attempted a step here and there but nothing has come of it.  He loves his little push walker (similar) and has gotten quite adept at it.  He waves, blows raspberries, and makes all the noises...though no decipherable words yet. Still has just two teeth but I swear his upper gums are pretty swollen and there might be two teeth cutting through in the near future.

Mama: seriously the best! Even though this year is flying by I am loving every single minute of it! My business is booming, the kids get along (for the most part) and Thomas and I are in an amazing place together.  We're dreaming, conversing, and pushing for our goals.  I am in the process of selling Ragtime which is bittersweet.  I knew when I got her (as a dumb college student) that I might have to sell her one day...well we are here at that one day.  I've been out working with her a lot, way more than I have the last 8 years, and she is doing so so well.  I am going to miss her fiercely but know that she is going to go off and live her best life!

Sisters: they love him!! They love him so very much.  Finnley is still in the stage of correcting Séamus whenever he does something that isn't authorized 😉 whether we request it of her or not...subsequently she has earned herself several "time outs" for being disobedient and in the words of Ellie "doing whatever she wants" 😂😂.  Ellie loves her brother so much, though she isn't a fan of not getting to play with her toys and small parts because he sticks them in his mouth.  She has also found that playing with legos and the magnatiles are challenging since he is in the destroying stage.
