Teddy turned 8 months on March 4th. He is one little happy camper. His first tooth is just starting to cut
through on the bottom. His main method
of transportation these days is still rolling.
He rolls everywhere. He is starting
to get in the crawling position more and more but only rocks back and
forth. If there is something he wants;
he gets out of the crawling position and rolls to it. He has been eating puffs for a couple weeks
and just recently started having Cheerios.
He still LOVES his milk, yogurt and oatmeal. He WILL NOT eat anything else. He will eat yogurt and oatmeal like a
pro. Twice a day, adult-sized
portions. But don’t you dare try to
feed him baby food. Run of the mill baby
food purees make him gag. You would
think we were feeding him poison. No matter
what it is, peas, carrots, butternut squash, sweet potatoes he makes the worst
faces and sounds. He is too cute to
torture. At some point he may have to
start eating some vegetables though. He
loves the water. He would stay in his
tub for an hour if we let him. He adores
Maggie and is very interested in Tommy—although Tommy doesn't reciprocate it as
much as Maggie. He is also fascinated
with Joey and the Ipad. He still sleeps
with me and sleeps very well. He is as
cute as a button and mommies just adore him.
He is so easy going and happy all the time. The smile on his face in the morning when
hears our voices is absolutely priceless.
He will be in a dead sleep and as soon as he hears Susie or I talking in
the morning his face lights up with a big grin even before his eyes are fully
open. He is the sweetest baby ever! We love you Teddy Daniel!

The Usual
Here is a week cap of the past week or so. Nothing too exciting or unusual. Just a big photo dump.
Maggie found a funny app on her LeapPad...I thought this was hilarious. It looks so real. I think she really could be a cat... :)
The 4 bigger kids at Wisconsin Dells. We rented a condo with the Nelson's at The Great Wolf. It was a blast. We had some very tired kids by the 3rd day.
Maggie said she was going to the bathroom...after about 5 minutes I went to check on her. This is what I found. :)
I am starting to see some resemblance between these two. That's teddy on the left and Tommy on the right. Their nose, cheeks, and eye shape look a lot alike.
Maggie and I finally finished this puzzle. It was our toughest one to-date. It frustrated both of us.
Maggie was mad a Tommy about something. She went upstairs to "take a break" from him and came down with this. She told me it says, "Dear Tommy, Why Do You Be Mean". If you look at the letters it is pretty good. She is starting to sound out the first letters of things.

Ski School
Back in December I was researching ski lessons and programs at
all the local ski hills. Most
lessons/learn to ski programs are super expensive once you add in rental and
lift tickets. Luckily, I stumbled across
a program called “Pre-school, Ski-School” offered at Trollhaugen. It is only
for 4-5 year olds. It might be the best
value per dollar activity we have ever signed Maggie up for. It was only $80 for 4 weeks, this included
all rentals and lifts and 1.5 hours of instruction each session. Part of the deal is one parent had to ski
with their child and help out. I was
more than eager to volunteer for that. It
was a blast for both of us. The progression
over the 4 weeks was amazing. She is like
a real skier now. She has done every run
at Trollhaugen with exception of the black diamonds. She even has mastered the chair lift and tow
rope all by herself. I can’t wait until
Tommy is old enough to do the program.
Maggie and her completion certificate. It's a picture of her and me.
The best part, free hot chocolate after every lesson.
