He's one!!

Jess with baby Henry, almost 1.  He looks so much like his mommy, but I actually

see his daddy's smile in this photo.

Seth doing his favorite activity, eating!

Seth turned 1-yr-old on the 12th and we had a birthday celebration for him (and Samantha) on Friday the 13th.  Samantha, Seth, and I then went to Winston-Salem to visit our friend, Jess, and watch my nephew Ryan play in the National Boys 12's Clay Court Championship.  Seth continues to hover at the bottom of the growth chart despite his rather large appetite and passion for food.  We have not had his one-yr-checkup yet, but i anticipate him barely making the actual growth chart for weight.  Seth's personality is quite different from Samantha's.  He is absolutely "wide-open" and climbs on anything and everything.  This fact makes simple activities, like grocery shopping, changing Seth's diaper, and going out to eat challenging.

Jess' son, Henry, also hovers at the bottom of the growth chart so she and I had a good time getting our "small fries" together.  Samantha thoroughly enjoyed playing with Henry and reading his books.  Jess and I tried to take a snapshot of Henry and Seth sitting together next to the word, ONE, as Henry will turn 1 on August 8th.

It was great to see my brother, Taylor and Ryan again.  I could get used to seeing them every few weeks.  Taylor was in "baby heaven" while playing with Seth, Henry, and her 3-yr-old cousin, Samantha!  Ryan won both matches I saw and made it into the round of 16 (singles).  He and his doubles partner also won their matches.  I sooooo wish I could have stayed a bit longer.
