So... I've taken so many neat or important pics over the past week and I couldn't decide on just a few to share (I know... you're upset about all these new pics) so you get to see lots of them.The first picture you see is from last night. Can you see anything different about Tegan?
Here's a hint... Tegan no longer resembles a hockey player from behind... or how bout the whole business in front-party in back is just not cool. Could you guess? We got rid of the hockey-hair/mullet. YES, Tegan had his first haircut. We decided that he'd like to be like Daddy, so we buzzed it... guys, if you're curious, it was the 3/4" attachment.Ok, on to the next pic... T's obsessed with mugs, especially when they are the one Daddy or Mommy is using. So we now give him one whenever one or both of us has a mug. Here's Tegan practicing drinking from a mug... who cares if it's upside-down. :)
OK, so I said T is obsessed with mugs, I lied. It's really drinking from his sippy that he loves... especially juice. 
He now drinks an entire sippy-cup of juice-water mix between dinner and bed every night. He starts getting really upset when he notices that a sippy isn't within reach and/or sight so I'm trying to teach him the sign for more. So far he just points, which is better than nothing, but I need to find out what the sign for juice is (hopefully it's a relatively easy one). Does anyone who reads this have the Baby Einstein Baby Signs video? Would love to hear what you think about it.Oh... and here's what happens when we wait a little too long to start getting ready for bed...
it's kinda funny cause Tegan just shuts down but at the same time it breaks my heart to see him so upset.This next pic is just a cute one of Tegan and Daddy having fun together. :)
Remember a few posts back when I talked about how Tegan will push anything that moves??? Well, here's him at our play-date last Saturday pushing the babydoll stroller. 
I was just hoping that the owner of the stroller (a 14 month old) wouldn't see Tegan and get upset. HA!
Like I just mentioned, we had a play-date on Saturday... a pretty big one as you can see. 
Yes, 9 kids in all and we somehow managed to get them ALL in a picture together. The ages ranged from 9 weeks to 2 1/2 years though most of the babies were between 9 and 13 months. It was really cute to see how the kids would notice each other and play together for a while (very short while) but for the most part the did their own thing. It'll be SO fun to keep getting this group together over the coming months and years and see how they develop individually and together as friends.
HA! I told myself that I won't post any complete butt shots on here (and for sure no frontal nakedness) but I thought a little peek wouldn't hurt anyone, right? 
Let's just say that Tegan got away from me while I was changing his diaper at Grandma and Grandpa Moore's house this weekend. It was TOO cute to watch.
Here's another fun time with Daddy... again, pushing stuff across the floor. This time, as you can see, it was the ottoman.
OK, that's it for the new pics... Hope you enjoyed them! Hope it's warmer when you are than where we are... I can tell you I'm praying that school gets canceled tomorrow due to the frigid temperatures. Not only for myself to have a day off, but it's just too dang cold for those kiddos to be waiting outside for their buses!
Love to all!

Peek-A-Boo!!!
yes the T-ster will now be taking neb treatments 3x day for the next week or so to help the wheezing he's been experiencing with his cough. No pics of Tegan taking a treatment yet (as he's only had 2) but he's done relatively well considering we have to strap a face mask over an infant and make him breathe in a kinda strange tasting mist for 10 minutes or so... here's a few pics from the website of the product distributor/manufacturer

It was really cool that our entire immediate family was able to attend 
(my parents, Brendan's parents, my sis, ALL of Brendan's siblings including his/my brother-in-law and niece).
Having fun w/Daddy
Being silly w/Aunt Amanda
Playing in the kitchen
However, this also includes any object you can think of that can slide on a carpeted surface, including (but not limited to) cordless telephones, cell phones, blocks, books, remote controls, balls, diapers, diaper creme tubes, back scratchers and many, many more things. 
Last thing I can think of is that Tegan is getting closer and closer to walking. He now "cruises" between the couch, love seat and coffee table in the family/living room. He has also taken a few steps pushing his Fisher Price push/walk/ride-along toy... My guess is that he'll be walking very close to his 1st birthday (which is only 4 weeks away!!!!)
thought all would enjoy!
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. :(
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).
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)
Love to all!
He really wasn't so sure about the whole idea, especially since it was so cold.
