Merry Christmas to All!!!

We've had a wonderful Christmas weekend and day and we hope the same goes for all of you, too!!! Here are a few pics of what we've experienced over the past few days. Take care!!!

Tegan can now climb stairs... whoopee!

Yes, that's Tegan biting/chewing on my shoe. Yum, Yum!

Tegan's first Christmas cookie... can we say sugar high? We were too busy chasing him to get any pictures of that, but let me tell you - sugar's effect on kids is NO myth!Apparently it'd be fun to let Tegan wear saftey goggles... he wasn't so hot on the experience, but it did make for a cute picture. :)

The rest of the good pics are on the cameras of our family members... so as we receive them we'll post them.
Love to all!!!

"Hi-Yo"

Yup, that's what T will say if you get him going on the phone. I've got a video of it, but he doesn't say hello until about 90 seconds in, so just too big to post. I'll keep trying... He is now 'speaking' if you want to call it that... though his vocabulary only consists of da-da, hi and hello (or "hi-yo" as he pronounces it). Occasionally you'll get a ma-ma out of him, but not often at all. :(

What else to "announce"? OH, Tegan decided that he needed to open his Grandpa Moore's Christmas present for him tonight even though Grandpa wasn't here. Unfortunately I can't put up a picture of it because that would reveal what the present is. Maybe after Christmas I can share that.

Another of Tegan's new talents is playing the keyboard... I wouldn't say that the music he composes is the most beautiful I've ever heard, but but it sure makes me smile. Oh yes, and please note that you should NEVER play while sitting down but standing and leaning over to play... OR you can just stand on the keys (don't have a pic of that one yet).

Ok, sorry but all for now. Watching The Office. :)

Love to all!

10 Month Stats

Tegan's 9 month well baby check-up was yesterday even though he's just over 10 months. Here are the stats:
Weight: 23/11 pounds = 80%ile
Height: 30 inches = 80-85%ile (the doctor said 85th and the sheet the nurse wrote for us said 80th)
Head Circumference: 45.3cm = 40%ile (which surprised me because it's always tough to get T's shirts over his head. HA!

More pics later... I'm posting from work.
Love to all!!!

Splish Splash I Was Takin' a Bath

Hehehe! Our little man was just too cute in the tub tonight... I couldn't stand not sharing at least 1 or 2 pics of him and his little bare body. (note the teeth in the above pic... I think the top ones are getting ready to move on in now too... the extreme drooling and ear pulling has begun again... oh yeah, and apparently he's been poopin like crazy. Another teething sign I'm told)
As you can see from the picture above, Tegan can now pull himself up to a standing position... quite easily, in fact. I have a feeling that means that we have even more trouble on the way :)

Here's the only smiling pic we could get of T with his Santa hat on... needless to say he wasn't too fond of it, though he did have fun pulling Mommy's hat down over her face.

Here's what I came home to yesterday after I went grocery shopping... it was just too precious not to take a pic.Love to all!

Put the Lid Down!!!

So... I'm getting ready for work this morning and the bathroom (doing my make-up and stuff) and hear Tegan come in to watch me... nothing new. Well, I didn't realize that SOMEONE (won't say who) left the toilet seat and lid up. (Who could have done that???) Tegan has become somewhat fascinated with toilets, but only when the seat is up. Suddenly I hear "plop" and look over... like a true mom I had a camera close by. this is what I saw...

Have a good day!

First Snow Experience

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged... I've got conferences this week so have been crazy busy. Here are some pics of Tegan and his reaction to his first experience with snow (as he was too young to take out in the snow in February) :) He really wasn't so sure about the whole idea, especially since it was so cold.

On Sunday I decided to bring the snow in to Tegan. So I got a great bit bowl and put some nice, clean snow in it...

However, T was still not so sure. Below is his reaction to eating the snow. HA!

Tegan has reached yet another milestone, too. This is what I saw when I offered him a remote control to play with:

Yes, Tegan was talking on the "phone." It was the cutest thing ever! I tried to upload a video of it, too, but it didn't work. I'll try again later.

Well, it's nearing 7am and we gotta get ready for work/daycare.

Love to all!
