Teydon is 9 months!

9 months seriously my little guy CANT be that old already :(. We went to his 9 month check up on the 3rd 17 lbs 5 oz-3%, 28 in long-50%, head 18.5 in-90%, at least his brain is growing :). He is healthy and thats all that matters to me. On the downside we found out that Teyd has 2 ear infections, it couldn't have worked out better to have his Dr. appt. the same time he has an ear infection, saved us a trip to the docs. I knew something was going on with him the day before he took a 3.5 hr nap, which is unusual, he was grumpy that night, he woke up with a fever and at the doctors he was upset whenever anyone touched him and he's usual happy and plays with them. When the dr. was looking at his ears he usually takes a quick look then moves on but this time he kept looking and Teyd was screaming, Dan had to hold him on his lap and hold his head against his chest it was sooooo sad, I knew then he had an ear infection. I think we're doing pretty good though this is the first time he's been sick. October was a BUSY BUSY month and went by way too fast. Over Oct. 16th weekend Dan and I went to Lake Powell, my friend Sabrina got married down there. It was so beautiful and unique. It was our first time leaving Teydon over night(s), the hardest part was leaving him. Once we were there it wasn't too bad but on the way home it hit me how much I missed him. It was a lot of fun! My grandma and 2 aunts came and stayed with us for a week, we ate a lot, shopped, quilted, got massages, and just hung out. It was so much fun having them stay with us, the house was defenitly lonely when they left. It was Dan's birthday on the 28, he's 27, he had search and rescue so thats what he did. We had a dinner for him Wedn. at my dads and he opened presents before he left for SAR, nothing too crazy. We went to the aggie auction and won-$200 at Macey's, $50 Carls Jr., and 12 pizzas from Papa Murphy's, it was a lot of fun. If we go hungry its our fault :)! Halloween hmmm what halloween, lets just say I totally was not in the Halloween spirit this year, no costumes, no candy. :( To my defense we weren't even home, we were putting a roof on his mom's house. Next year I'm totally gonna be in the spirit.

TEYDON'S 9 MONTH ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• Crawling Oct. 5
• He has 4 teeth (1st one on Sept. 22)
• Pulls himself up onto things
• Gets into EVERYTHING
• Loves to open drawers
• Will eat pretty much anything
• Gives thee sweetest kisses- if you don't mind a little bite at the end :)
• Hates to get hurt
• Is a huge daddy's boy
• Would rather put himself to sleep than fall asleep in your arms, which is good that he can put himself to sleep but he doesn't cuddle anymore :(
• Will dance when he hears music
• Can wave, with a closed fist :)
• He's pretty brave he'll dive off of the couch, I'm trying to teach him to turn around and go feet first instead head
• Will play peek a boo/hide and seek, we'll crawl behind a couch and he'll come find us, bumping his head into ours

He continues to bring happiness and joy to our family everyday. Im sad that he is growing so fast but loving it at the same time. I love his personality and love this age he can entertain himself, smiles, plays, and laughs with us. He's mobile and a lot of fun. I went and saw my friends 3 week old baby, he was so tiny, slept a lot, and cuddly, it made me miss my little cuddly baby, guess thats why people have more than one kid to revisit the newborn stage. NO, were not ready for another one not for a long time. I am so thankful for my life and all of my blessings I have an amazing husband who is a wonderful father and I have the cutest little guy as my son. I LOVE MY LIFE!!

Teydon Updates!

Teydon turned 8 months on the 1st, can't believe its been 8 months already. His first tooth on the bottom poked through on the 22nd of September, it is one SHARP little guy. His second one on the bottom poked trough yesterday and it looks like his top two will be coming in soon, his gums are really white. He stared crawling on the 5th of Oct. He had been really close for awhile now but just couldn't figure it out, he wanted to just walk, while holding our fingers of coarse. I wanted him to crawl before walking, part of developing so we tried to teach him but it wouldn't really help. He finally did it buy offering Dan's ring to him. He has taken off since then, I wanted him to crawl but now that he does I'm almost wishing he didn't he now can get into anything and everything! It is nice though cause now he can entertain himself even better. He will stand all by himself for a few seconds, and pulls himself up on things. He LOVES cords and drawers especially the ones he's not suppose to have. He hates to get hurt, tipping over, smashing fingers in drawers, etc. Loves when daddy comes home, he is totally a daddy's boy when he's home, he wants nothing to do with me when he's home. Hates to be told NO, he stops what he's doing looks at me and cries/whines. Still hates to ride in his car seat, which sucks if we need to go anywhere. He is a very good eater he pretty much will eat anything we give him. Some of his favorites gerber cheetos (don't remember what they are called but they remind me of cheetos, these ones are good for the baby though), bread, wheatables, mandarin oranges, lemonade, dried pears, doesn't really like peas, likes to eat what we are eating, and loves to drink out of cups. It seems like each week he has a new noise that he makes. He will copy you and thinks its pretty funny when you can make the same noise he does. I love to watch him grow and discover how things work. Love this little guy more and more everyday!

Teydon Pics

I love this little boys personality, he is so much fun and brings tons of smiles into our life.

Teydon 7 month pictures & More!

We went and helped my mom move into her house over Labor day weekend. Makes me never wanna move, especially now that we have a kid way too much stuff. Teydon got his first hair cut on Set. 5, his hair was pretty crazy and getting long. We were at my moms so I asked her for help cutting his hair. He did ok for a couple min then wouldn't hold still and didn't like it. I noticed when we got home that it was uneven, so thought I'd try the clippers out. He did so GOOD he would just sit there and let me do it. I would let him hold the clippers, I didn't want him to get/be scared of it. He loved it. He has seen me cut Dan's hair so maybe that helped, who knows. I got Teydons pictures done on the 10th, they were so much fun and turned out SO CUTE! Dan was there for the 1st half, then had to go back to work. We found out who can make Teyd smile the best, after he left Melissa and I could not get Teydon to smile for the life of us. He is the best ignorer! It didn't matter how loud we yelled he would not look at us. :) I love this little boy so much!! We got some trees (6) 2 maples, 3 quaking aspens, and 1 Canadian choke cherry. We've planted 2 so far I will post some pictures when its all done.

AUGUST HAPPENINGS!

I can't believe summer is over. August went by so fast. Things we've been doing, if you can tell from Teydons farmers tan :) we've been in the sun mainly swimming! He loves to go down the slide with his dad. ( I dont dare take him down.) He makes a really big splashing mess in his tub so we've bathed him a couple times in the sink. We went to Cache County's fair, Teydon liked the animals, especially the calves he would touch their nose. We also went to the Rodeo with my dad and Sami, he mainly watched the horses I think cause they're always moving. It was my birthday on the 18th, we had a BBQ had family and friends over. I got lots of $$, I LOVE $$!! So Teydon and I did a lot of shopping, I dont think he's the biggest fan but he's gonna have to get use to it! He is now 7 months old, and on our scale he's almost 15 lbs. Some of his accomplishments sitting all by himself, rock/ lean forward until he falls on his face, then rolls to his back, probably wont be long before he's crawling, YIKES. He loves food, at the moment he is eating raspberries with his dad and doesnt have very good patience wants them NOW! A bad thing he's figured out he whines when he doesnt get something or if he loses what he was playing with. He loves my hair, as soon as I pick him up he searches for my hair and the other day I was trying to put him down for a nap and he wouldnt until I gave him some of my hair. Silly boy! He loves to go for walks in the stroller. He continues to bring so much joy and happiness to our home! Life would be so boring with out him!

6 Months

14 lbs 1 oz 4%

26 inches 30%

17 1/4 in 55% (head)

Teydon's 6 month accomplishments: eating solids really good, some foods we've tried squash, green beans, bananas, carrots, pears applesauce, sweet potatoes, and peaches. I've been making my own baby food blending them up then freezing them in ice cube trays. Teydon will not eat my bananas or carrots but will the bottled. He loves to smile, laugh, and play with us. He recognizes who his parents are and his bottles. When he sees something he really likes he'll bounce and throw his arms all EXCITED! Everything goes in his mouth. He has found his ears and top of head. He loves to pull hair, he uses mine as his handle. He'll give me kisses, suck on my chin and cheeks. Dan's face is too sharp so he wont do it to him. He LOVES his daddy, Dan can get him to laugh the hardest!! He loves to be NAKED! He loves to be outside. He's a really good sport about anything we do! He loves bath time, he floods the kitchen with all his splashing! He gets so many compliments on his big blue eyes and crazy, fuzzy, spiky hair. He has stolen everyones hearts! He really likes little kids and girls, he's a big FLIRT already. He can sit up by himself, he'll still tip over every once in awhile but doing really good! He loves to stand up, a lot of the time when you try to get him to sit, he wont bend his knees. He's started to fight nap time, he use to just fuss a little but now he screams and gets really mad when you try to give him his binky. We definitely have our bad times but he has been a really good baby. Most the time he is happy and all smiles. He doesn't like cold food, his nose wiped, to sit still, to be alone, to wait, and night time; he is so much happier in the mornings.

Things we LOVE about Teydon Blake: His smile, LAUGH, eyes, soft skin, and personality. He brings so much JOY into our lives, we would be so lost without him. He is at a fun age, he is a very busy boy and he cant even walk yet, Im doomed.

BUSY JULY!!

Things we've been up to this July fireworks, demo. derby, camping, camping, and more camping, lots of swimming. Teydon is a really good sport with anything that we do, he loved the fireworks. He loves being outside and the camp fire, we've been everywhere campin Card Canyon, Fairfield Idaho with my mom, and Blackfoot Idaho with Dan's family. We've also been swimming everywhere Logan, Brigham with Dan's family; twice, Ogden with my cousin. Teydon's not gonna be scared of water thats for sure. It has been a very fun and eventful July!
