It's Been a While

Hello all! Sorry it's been a while since my last post about Tegan. Daycare continues to go well! Tegan is full of smiles, giggles and loving hugs every time I pick him up. I'm SO glad he enjoys it... what a blessing! Praise God!!!

In other news, Tegan is down to 3 bottles a day. He just wasn't taking his 11am bottle much at all and didn't seem too hungry at his 3pm bottle, so I decided to drop the 11am bottle and push the 3pm to about 3:30.

After 3 days the change has been well accepted and Tegan now takes each of his 3 bottles very well again, though he does still occasionally see the bottle as more of a toy than a means to receive nourishment... as you can see, he's starting to get a bit skinny. HA!

Last weekend we went up to Maplelag for a 2 day 3 stage race for Brendan. This was the 3rd trip there for me, 2nd for Tegan and 4th or more for Brendan. We love it there!!!

Tegan, Brendan and I were joined by B's recently empty-nested parents and we all had a fabulous Labor Day weekend! Needless to say, Grandma and Grandpa Moore LOVED spending 2+ days with their grandson.

They even took T for a few hours one morning and let Brendan and I take a much needed nap. Thank your Devin and Gary!!!

This weekend was the first in a long while that we had absolutely no races, so it's been really fun so far. My parents took T for the night last night, so Brendan and I were able to spend some time together w/o Tegan, though we did spend 1/2 the time talking about T and all the cute little things he does. We definitely were ready to have him back come this morning. The house was just too quiet without him.

OH, one more 'news' item about Tegan. He is just beginning to wave. So far he really just waves at himself and watches his hand moving, but I'm told that he did wave goodbye to someone yesterday while he was with my mom and dad... how fun! Tegan is very thrilled with this ability and stares very thoughtfully at his hand frequently, studying how his fingers are moving. It's truly too cute!

Waving "Hello" to himself :)

Another interest of Tegan's we've discovered is his fascination with things that spin. Brendan discovered this when he took T to the playground/park and let him play with the steering wheel mounted in the little fort thing... no pics of this yet, but I did snap a few pics today of him playing with Brendan's bike tire.

Well, that's all for now! Love to all!!!
