Sean’s Birthday Week!

I want to catch everyone up to speed on what we have been up to the past few weeks.  The week after Sean turned one, I started back working three days a week, while Sean started day care.  This has been a huge adjustment, considering I have been home with Sean for the past year.  It’s been amazing, because Jim and I, and others, started seeing huge improvements in Sean’s behavior only after a couple of days of him being at day care.  Yay!  I have been a very happy mommy now knowing that I had made the right decision going back to work part-time.  He has become much more independent and content, which is a huge blessing.  Along with daycare…well…comes sickness.  A week after Sean started, he got a virus that led into a double ear infection.  Not only did Sean get it, but so did mommy.  Baby and mommy sick at the same time, is no fun:(  Thankfully daddy escaped the sickness.  So that’s what we have been up to and why we are so behind on our post.  Now, on with all the birthday festivities…

What a great birthday week we had celebrating a one-derful year with Sean Wheeler Scott.  We celebrated his actual birthday by taking Sean to the “Story Time” at the Coppell Library, which Sean just loved!  Another fun part of the day was meeting my co-workers for lunch at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.  Sean also enjoyed taking a birthday stroll around the neighborhood, but the party hat didn’t stay on for long.  The highlight of the day was watching Sean make a mess eating his first cupcake.  We ended the night with a fun birthday bath to clean off all the icing! 

Sean’s party was so much fun celebrating with all our family.  Sean received so many great gifts that have kept him SO entertained!  His favorite gift that he seems to keep going back to is his “Circus Train Walker” that uncle Brad, aunt Shanna and his cousins gave him.  He’s also loving all the “Chuck Trucks” that he got, along with the books and his pretend Veterinary kit.  Over all, we had an awesome week celebrating and reflecting back on the amazing year we have had!

Family Pictures

I am so behind on posting our pictures from November that Josh Cobbs did for us.  The weather that day, was absolutely beautiful and little Sean did just awesome (with the help of a few bottle breaks;)!  What more could you ask for...

Happy 1st Birthday Sean!!

A year ago today, our precious little boy came into our lives.  I can't even begin to explain the love I felt the day I laid eyes on him.  My heart just fills with unexplainable joy when I think back to that special day.  We thank God for this little blessing that he has entrusted us with!

Happy 1st Birthday Sean Wheeler Scott!!

Our Little Man is Almost One!!!

Sean is growing up before our eyes!  It's been awesome to see him learn and discover new things and how they work.  He's getting more and more fun each and everyday.  We just can't believe he will be one in a matter of days...

All dressed up for church...

My two handsome boys

We can't believe our little man is finally big enough to get

on his rocking horse that Granner & Daddy B gave him before he was born.

Sean's new thing is playing with the magnets on the dishwasher.

This keeps him occupied for...maybe 10-15 minutes...which is

a long time for Sean;)

"Stay magnet...even though I'm putting you on backwards"

His activity center is another one of Sean's favorite toys that

Gram and Papa gave him for Christmas...

Sean got upgraded to the sippy cup with a staw, and he

thinks he is SO hot stuff when he drinks out of it...it's too funny!

Bye-bye!

"Oh I'm so cool"

Sean's concentration face...

Waving...

Being silly...

I love it when Sean sits like this...it's just too cute.

Before we head to the store each week we have to

make sure we are totally prepared to keep Mr. Sean entertained:)

Juice-check, a few bitter biskets-check, lots & lots of snacks-check

This week we went with my local MOMs group to a indoor play

area in Grapevine.  Sean was a little overwhelmed by all the kids

everywhere and he did't seem to want to let go of momma for very long.  I

managed to get  a few pics of him playing while he forgot about me for a second;)

"Where's my momma?"

"Are you my Momma?  No!"

"Oh dear, she left me!"

Playing once again...

Sean loves watching all the big kids...

11 Months!

In a matter of weeks, Mr. Sean Wheeler Scott will be turning one year old!  Seems like the months have flown by.  At eleven months, Sean is crawling faster than some people can walk.  You can always hear him coming by the sound of his little hands going ninety to nothing!  He's also just discovered how to open all the cabinets within the past week, which has prompted mommy to put the cabinet locks on ASAP!  He can have the entire cabinet cleaned out before you can turn around.  Sean loves playing with any kind of ball, which daddy is so thrilled to see.  This month Sean also got his very first haircut, (which is kinda funny since he only has about three hairs).  He was kicking quite a mullet in the back that we could almost put in a ponytail:)  So we thought we should probably do something about that.  Below are a few pictures I took messing around with my camera while we were inside staying warm on a cold Winter day.  Enjoy!
