Teddy is 14 Months Old

I would blame it on the fact that February is a short month... except it happens every single month. The time is flying by and Teddy is another month older:

Teddy and his Daddy:

It seems that this month Teddy has decided to stand upright a lot more:

Not only is standing more on the chair, but this weekend he managed to turn around and stand up IN the shopping cart at Kohl's (despite being buckled in). He also started climbing up things (this is new) and he has been walking up a storm. We think he was inspired by seeing his cousin Harper walk over skype (either that or he was showing off for his aunt and grandpa who were visiting). Before I put more about their visit though, I want to catch up on some older pictures.

On Valentine's Day Teddy and I brought lunch to Shae at work and we enjoyed a family picnic:

Last weekend we took Teddy out to eat at Steak and Shake. He ate for free and the place was packed with families with small children, so it was perfect!

It is finally warming up around here, so last weekend we also took Teddy out on the canoe. He did much better than the first time- he didn't even cry when we put the life jacket on him! As Shae got the canoe ready, Teddy and I sat by the lake. He really seemed to like the geese; here he is pointing at them and talking:

The whole family at the lake (note: although I said it is warming up here, I was still freezing, so I kept my life vest on to stay warmer!)

My sister's children were out of school for break last week, so we got to go to the Ga Aquarium with them. We met at the CNN center and had lunch first:

Teddy LOVES his cousins!

I'm really not sure if he had more fun watching the fish, or playing with Caroline, Maggie, Jack, and Aunt Miriam:

This past weekend we were so happy that Grandpa Steve, Aunt Sammie, and cousin Oliver came to visit! Teddy had a great time playing with Aunt Sammie:

Although he kept calling Oliver a "cat" Teddy had lots of fun playing with him:

In fact, I think Teddy already misses Ollie. All day today he kept walking over to the glass door looking for his furry friend.

Teddy giving Aunt Sammie a high five (notice sleepy Grandpa Steve - so tired):

On Sunday we tried out our new Bocce Ball set. We played girls against guys, and it ended up a tie 1 to 1.

Teddy read his elmo book (upside down) while we played:

We had a great time with Aunt Sammie and Grandpa Steve and we hope they will come back to visit us again soon. Before they left, we had to take a 3 Generation (copy copy) Hoschek photo:

Lastly, here's a short video to share:
