A sister in our ward took some newborn pictures of Seth as a baby shower gift! Don't be fooled, it took 2 hours to get just these four images. He would not hold still :)
We love this sweet chunk to pieces!

Seth's First Bath
Once Seth's cord fell off, he was ready for his first real bath! Sink time!
One of the girls took pictures for me....things started out ok....
But quickly went downhill. Someone was not a huge fan of being washed!
Or dried....
But things improved when he found his thumb for consolation.
Which I quickly replaced with a pacifier ;)
All snug and warm and clean!
One down, thousands to go....
South Plains Fair
Even with an 11 day old baby, we made it to the fair this year!
First, we went and saw all the animals while we waited for the rides to open.
Petting a rabbit:
The petting zoo went better this year - no animal attacks on Cora!
Seth and I watched from the sidelines.
Our annual "chicks" picture is getting less and less posed (and was crashed by a boy this year, even if you can't see his face.)
Tractor time! It was HOT! Black leather + shorts = lots of complaining from the girls.
And arguing over the seats in the shade....
Seth was content to wait in his shaded stroller ;)
We finally found an indoor seating area to wait out the last painful 30 minutes until the rides opened. Lots of crankies!
We all cheered up when it was ride time!
Cora especially loved the merry-go-round!
Eve and Halle did the big slide together this year! Each girl got to pick 4 rides.
Dumbo for everyone!
Abigail insisted on sitting alone and did great!
Eve was kind enough to ride with Cora.
Next, Abigail and Cora picked this car drive ride (their choices were limited, due to height restrictions). They each sat alone and it turns out the cars whip around the turns, which totally freaked Cora out. They had to stop the ride and let her off.
Abigail, on the other hand, loved it!
We tried a more sedate ride for Cora instead...
Meanwhile, Andrew took Eve and Halle on a bigger kid ride. Time to fly!
And finally, we finished off the afternoon with monster cotton candy!
It made a huge mess in the car, but they all had fun....
Another great year at the fair in the books!
Seth's First Week Home
We loved having Seth home! His first week was filled with lots of snuggles :)
The Seegmillers stopped by to see him!
And thankfully, he took a pacifier!
Tummy time!
Lots of sister love!
On the 21st, we went in for a 4 day old weight check and Seth was 10 lbs 9 oz and 21".
Seth and I had some outdoor time to watch Daddy and the girls perform an obstacle course!
We love our brother!
We can be babies too!
Andrew got to take the girls to church on Sunday by himself. They missed Seth while they were gone!
Celebrating one week old and the nice weather with a walk!
One week old adorableness:
Seth is a very calm baby - very little fussy, unlike his sisters! We love it!
.....wait....
Aunt Lisa arrived for a visit on the 19th, the day we got home from the hospital, but she got sick, poor girl, so I don't have any pictures of her with Seth until closer to the day she left :(.
Growly bear face!
Having a newborn is fun, but exhausting for everyone! Lots of naps! It was so, so, so nice to have Andrew home full-time in August and September while he was job searching/interviewing. Perfect timing! And since I was pumping and bottle feeding, he could really help out at night.
Poor Abigail also got sick - gotta love throw up + having a newborn.
Halle reading to Seth :)
Don't leave us Aunt Lisa! We'll miss you too much! (Abigail and Cora refused to be pictured.)
