What's in a name? Seamus is Gaelic for "James" which means "one who grabs at the heel." When the biblical character Jacob (aka James) was born, he was grasping his twin brother Esau's heel.
Seamus is captivated by Finlay. He watches him intently for hours each day. He hangs on his every word, sound, movement, giggle... He is also often grasping at him. His little hands are always hooking onto Fin's clothes, hair, blankie, etc.. Fin's reaction is mostly "MY ARM" or "MY E!" and to pull the interesting subject quickly and violently away from the exploratory baby.
Shay is so interested in his world. I cannot wear earrings these days or he will pull my ear off to get at them. He is so happy to roll and reach and examine and play. He's a little scientist.
Shay just decided that he sits now. One day he didn't like anything I was doing with him until I put him in a seated position. He still falls over regularly but if he wants to sit he sits.
Playing hockey with an Aussie. I don't think Thea saw anything wrong with the size of the puck or her lack of stick. Going to have to get this kid ministicks soon! Canucks or Leafs?
Here he is sitting!
So happy! You can really tell that he just wants to be doing what Finlay is doing and sometimes he is so frustrated the he is not. But sitting is something Finlay does (barely ever, but it is a big kid thing) and it is so satisfying to Shay.
Shay is totally his own little person and he is so very different from his brother but he is grasping at Fin's heel. He is so eager to join him in play, in food, in making messes - in life!
