Standing Tall

Teddy's favorite thing to do these days is stand up. He pulls up on just about anything, and recently has started letting go and standing my himself momentarily. We went to lunch with our friends last week and Teddy was very very excited to have another baby riding with him in our car!! Judging from the picture, though, I'm not sure she's quite as equally excited:
Teddy smiling at Phoebe: Teddy has had a rough week- he had his first "sick" doctor appointment today. Luckily he just has a cold paired with lovely teething (the doc said his gums are swollen in the back where the molars come in!) I was a bit surprised when the doctor recommended Jack Daniels... but maybe he meant that for me? Poor Teddy has been very congested and had a lot of difficulty sleeping both at night and for naps. I was so relieved one day last week when Teddy finally fell asleep for his nap that I snapped this picture:
Despite the cold and teething, Teddy finds plenty of time for playing and smiles:
Teddy and his daddy cheered on the Hawkeyes on Saturday as we listened to the game online in our front yard:
Go Hawks!
A perfect Saturday:
On Sunday we finally got to take Teddy out on the lake in the canoe. Here's Teddy's view:
Teddy seemed to enjoy it, although he definitely let us know when he was ready for the ride to be over! Later that day we went to watch cousin Jack's baseball game. Teddy had fun playing with his cousins and watching all the big kids:
But he really wanted his dad to share the giant pixie stick with him:
Cousin Jack the baseball player!
At Mc Donalds with the baseball team after the game. Teddy had fun with cousin Maggie, though I'm not sure who made the sillier face!
Teddy was excited to receive a package this week. Grandpa Steve sent him some really cool shoes. We love the shoes, but Teddy especially loved the box they came in!
Thank you for the shoes Grandpa Steve!

I thought I'd add a couple of videos. Teddy is becoming more and more verbal and active and is so hilarious. You can tell by this first video how excited he gets sometimes. Though I am not sure who is having more fun... Teddy or his crazy parents!
The other night Teddy was practicing standing alone and was so funny- he did this over and over again. Probably because of the way Shae and I reacted- we got so excited! You can't tell from the angle of the video- but when he lets go, Teddy is standing up completely on his own. Such a big boy!

Well, that's it for this update. We hope you are all doing well. Here's one last photo from the weekend:
